Semiconductor Material

Semiconductor Materials Conductor A material that allows electric current to flow easily due to the presence of many free electrons (e.g., copper, aluminum). The term conductor applied to any maerial that will support a generaous frow of charges when the voltage is applied acrosd its terminals. Metals like copper and aluminum have no forbidden gap … Read more

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)

The algebraic sum of all voltages around any closed loop in a circuit is equal to zero. In other words, the total rise in potential (voltage sources) in a loop is exactly equal to the total drop in potential (across resistors, capacitors, etc.) in that same loop. Mathematical Form \(\sum V = 0\) \(V_1 + … Read more

Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)

The algebraic sum of all currents entering and leaving a junction (node) in an electrical circuit is zero. \(\sum I = 0\) \(\text{Total Current Entering} = \text{Total Current Leaving}\)

Superposition Theorem

Statement In any linear circuit containing two or more independent sources, the current through or voltage across any element in the circuit is equal to the algebraic sum of the currents or voltages produced by each independent source acting alone, with all other independent sources replaced by their internal impedances.

Ohm’s Law

Ohm’s Law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the conductor and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor, provided the temperature remains constant. at a constant temperature, the electrical current flowing through a fixed linear resistance is directely proportional … Read more

Capacitor and Capacitance

Basic Definition A capacitor is an electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field.It consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material (dielectric). When a voltage is applied across the plates, positive and negative charges accumulate on opposite plates, creating a potential difference and storing energy. The amount of charge a … Read more
