Dimensions of Resistance
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electrons and is calculated by dividing voltage upon current in the conductor. The dimensions of resistance can be given …
Fleming Left Hand Rule
Fleming Left Hand Rule is used when a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field wherein it experiences a force perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the …
Carbon Resistor
The carbon resistor is the most common form of resistor used in electronics. They are made of a sturdy cylindrical resistive element with embedded wire leads or metal end caps. …
Equipotential Surface
A surface having the same potential at every point is referred to as an equipotential surface. There is no work done in order to move a charge from point A …
Ohm’s Law
Ohm’s Law is an empiric relation, accurately describing the conductivity of a material. It defines the relationship between the electric current passing through a circuit and the potential difference between …
