Wheatstone Bridge Circuits Explained with Calculations
A Wheatstone Bridge circuit is commonly used to measure resistance, inductance, capacitance, and impedance. These are made up of four parts or arms that are joined in series in a diamond like bridge configuration. These four arms carry the individual components such as resistor, inductor or capacitor connected across the fur junctions. An alternating current (AC) or […]
Troubleshooting Inverter Output Voltage Drop Issue
The post presents a discussion regarding the troubleshooting of a 4047 IC based inverter output voltage drop problem on connecting a load. The solution was requested by Mr. Isaac Johnson. The Issue Good day sir, I am a reader of your blog and an electronics hobbyist. I constructed a square wave inverter with a filter […]
Touch Volume Control Circuit
This touch volume control circuit has two touch pads which enable the user to increase or decrease the volume of an audio amplifier simply by touching the relevant touch pads. The advantages of this solid-state volume control are: very long life due to the absence of any wear and tear, quick and easy finger touch […]
6 Useful Voltage Controlled Oscillator Circuit Explored
In this post I have explained how to build 6 useful voltage controlled oscillator circuits, using various op amps and integrated circuits. As the name suggests, a voltage controlled oscillator or a VCO circuit is an oscillator circuit whose output frequency can be controlled or varied through an adjustable control voltage input. This means, if […]
Cube Light Circuits
In this post I have explained how to make simple yet fascinating cube light circuits, in which LEDs are connected inside a plastic cube to produce interesting illuminating effects. All the designs presented below are very simple to build and do not involve any complex microcontroller or Arduino coding. Why a Cube Because cube lights […]
