Definition: The cathode ray oscilloscope (CRO) is a type of electrical instrument which is used for showing the measurement and analysis of waveforms and others electronic and electrical phenomenon. It is a very fast X-Y plotter shows the input signal versus another signal or versus time. The CROs are used to analyse the waveforms, transient, …
Definition: The measurement error is defined as the difference between the true or actual value and the measured value. The true value is the average of the infinite number of measurements, and the measured value is the precise value. Types of Errors in Measurement The error may arise from the different source and are usually classified …
Definition: An instrument in which zero or null indication determines the magnitude of measured quantity such type of instrument is called a null type instrument. It uses a null detector which indicating the null condition when the measured quantity and the opposite quantity are same. Such type of instrument has high accuracy and also it …
Accuracy Definition: Accuracy is the ability of the instrument to measure the accurate value. In other words, it is the closeness of the measured value to a standard or true value. The accuracy can be obtained by taking the small readings. The small reading reduces the error of the calculation. The accuracy of the system is classified …
When the positive terminal of a DC source or battery is connected to n-type, and the negative terminal is connected to the p-type semiconductor of a p n junction, the junction is said to be in Reverse Biasing condition. The diagram of reverse bias p n junction is shown below. In this case, the applied …
A p n junction is said to be operating under the biasing condition if it is connected across an electric supply. The potential difference across the p n junction can be applied in two ways, namely Forward Biasing and Reverse Biasing. When the positive terminal of a DC source or battery is connected to p-type, …
In Full Wave Bridge Rectifier, an ordinary transformer is used in place of a center-tapped transformer. The circuit forms a bridge connecting the four diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4. The circuit diagram of the Full Wave Bridge Rectifier is shown below. Contents: Operation of Full Wave Bridge Rectifier Peak Inverse Voltage of Full Wave …
The Center Tapped Full Wave Rectifier employs a transformer with the secondary winding AB tapped at the centre point C. It converts the AC input voltage into DC voltage. The two diode D1, and D2 are connected in the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram below. Contents: Operation of the Center Tapped Full Wave …
In Half Wave Rectifier, when the AC supply is applied at the input, a positive half cycle appears across the load, whereas the negative half cycle is suppressed. This can be done by using the semiconductor PN junction diode. The diode allows the current to flow only in one direction. Thus, converts the AC voltage …
A p n junction is known as a Semiconductor Diode. The p n junction is used for the purpose of rectification as it conducts only in one direction. It is also known as crystal diode as it is made of a crystal-like Silicon or Germanium. The symbol of the semiconductor diode is shown below. It …
