Q. How does an electrical current flow?

Electric Current is the flow of electrons through a wire or solution. In a solid the electrons are passed from one positively charged metallic atom to next but in solution the electron is carried by the ions present in the solution. A solution capable of carrying charge is called an electrolyte.

Q. What is the basics of electricity?

Electricity is the movement of electrons. Electrons create charge, which we can harness to do work. Your lightbulb, your stereo, your phone, etc., are all harnessing the movement of the electrons in order to do work. They all operate using the same basic power source: the movement of electrons.

Q. How is electricity made for kids?

Electricity is made at a generating station by huge generators. Generating stations can use wind, coal, natural gas, or water. The current is sent through transformers to increase the voltage to push the power long distances. Smaller transformers reduce the voltage again to make the power safe to use in our homes.

Q. What is inside buzzer?

The buzzer consists of an outside case with two pins to attach it to power and ground. Inside is a piezo element, which consists of a central ceramic disc surrounded by a metal (often bronze)vibration disc. When current is applied to the buzzer it causes the ceramic disk to contract or expand.

Q. What is M in electrical?

Volts per meter. V/m. Electric field (E) Newtons per coulomb.

Q. Where is thyristor used?

Thyristors may be used in power-switching circuits, relay-replacement circuits, inverter circuits, oscillator circuits, level-detector circuits, chopper circuits, light-dimming circuits, low-cost timer circuits, logic circuits, speed-control circuits, phase-control circuits, etc.

Q. What is the firing angle?

The number of degrees from the beginning of the cycle when SCR is switched on is firing angle. Any SCR would start conducting at a particular point on the ac source voltage. The particular point is defined as the firing angle.

Q. Is triac a thyristor?

TRIACs are a subset of thyristors (analogous to a relay in that a small voltage and current can control a much larger voltage and current) and are related to silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs). The bidirectionality of TRIACs makes them convenient switches for alternating-current (AC).

Q. What is difference between DIAC and Triac?

TRIAC stands for Triode AC switch. DIAC is a bidirectional device that lets current pass through it in both directions when the voltage across the terminals reaches break-over voltage. TRIAC is also a bidirectional device that lets the current pass through it when its gate terminal is triggered.
