Force A body needs a ‘push’ or ‘pull’ to move or to bring a moving body to rest or change its velocity. Hence this push or pull is called force. Force has both magnitude and direction. Therefore force is a vector quantity. Definition of force in physics Types of Forces Force is classified into types … Read more
How does a halogen lamp work? A Halogen lamp is an incandescent lamp. It is also called Tungsten Halogen or quartz-halogen or quartz iodine lamp. It consists of a tungsten filament that is sealed in a transparent envelope. This envelope is filled with an inert gas mixture. The inert gas mixture consists of a small … Read more
An electric cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy to produce electricity. It contains two electrodes immersed in an electrolyte called Anode and Cathode. A number of electric cells are connected together to form a battery. When a cell or battery is connected to a circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive … Read more
The electricity generated from the power station is distributed to domestic and industrial users by overhead and underground cables. The first stage of the domestic circuit is to get the power supply to the main box from a distribution panel like a transformer. The main components of the main box are the Fuse Box and … Read more
Working principle of Led A led bulb is a semiconductor device that emits light when electricity passed through it. The colour of the light depends on the material used in the led making. With the help of chemical compounds like Gallium Arsenide and Gallium Phosphide, a Led bulb that gives red, green, yellow, and orange … Read more

Bones and Joints The adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones. The bones along with approximately 700 skeletal muscles account for 50% of our body weight. Bones provide protection and support. When two or more bones join together, a joint or articulation is formed. Several types of joints help in movements. Muscles Muscles are elastic … Read more
Classification of Materials Solids are classified into insulators, metals, and semiconductors. Insulators The valence band and the conductor band are separated from each other by an enormous energy gap. The energy gap between the valence band and the conductor is approximately 6eV. The energy gap is enormous, and even high voltage or electric field or … Read more
What is an oscillator? The oscillator is a mechanical or electrical apparatus that produces periodic fluctuation. Or it is a device that produces a repeated waveform. What is oscillation? It’s a movement back and forth. Example: Pendulum of a clock. hands of the clock. Transistor as Oscillator An electronic oscillator basically converts dc energy into … Read more
Optoelectric devices The devices that convert electrical energy into light and light into electrical energy through semiconductors. Example of Optoelectric devices is Light-emitting diodes, photodiodes, and solar cells. Light Emitting Diode (LED) LED is a p-n junction diode that emits visible or invisible light when forward biased. The electrical energy is converted into light energy … Read more
