An electrical relay consists of a electromagnet and a spring loaded changeover contacts. When the electromagnet is switched ON/OFF with a DC supply, the spring loaded mechanism is corresponding pulled and released by this electromagnet, enabling a changeover across the end terminals of these contacts. An external electrical load connected across these contacts are subsequently […]

How to Make a Zero Crossing Detector Circuit
Making a zero crossing detector circuit is actually very easy and it could be effectively applied for protecting sensitive electronic equipment against mains switch ON surges. A zero crossing detector circuit is mainly used for protecting electronic devices from switch ON surges by ensuring that during power switch ON the mains phase always “enters’ the […]
How Electret Microphones Work – Full Tutorial and Diagram
In this post I have explained how electret microphone devices work, through appropriate diagrams and formulas. What’s a Microphone A microphone is a device designed for transforming weak sound vibrations into tiny electrical pulses, which can be then amplified through a power amplifier over a loudspeaker for achieving a louder reproduction of the sound. The […]
Opamp Hysteresis – Calculations and Design Considerations
In most automatic battery charger circuits in this blog you might have seen an opamp with a hysteresis feature included for some crucial function. In the following post I have explained the significance and design techniques for the hysteresis function in opamp circuits. To learn exactly what’s a hysteresis you can refer to this article […]
Understanding Capacitor Codes and Markings
In this article I will comprehensively explain everything regarding how to read and understand capacitor codes and markings through various diagrams and charts. The information can be used for identifying and selecting capacitors correctly for a given circuit application. By Surbhi Prakash Capacitor Codes and associated Markings The various parameters of the capacitors such as […]
What is Constant Current Source – Facts Explained
In this post I will try to analyze what is constant current source and how it affects a load, or how it may be used with a load correctly for achieving the most efficient results. The following discussion between me and Mr. Girish will clearly explain what is CC or how constant current operates. How […]
