Diodes are one of the most important parts of any electronics project, and if you don't understand how they work you'll destroy any electronics project you work on. Thankfully, Adafruit has a video ...

LEDs form an inevitable part in the modern electronics as simple indicators to optical communication devices. Light Emitting Diodes exploit the property of the p-n junction to emit photons when it is ...

Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...

The light-emitting diode (LED) keeps making inroads into everyday electronics. From displays to bulbs to headlamps and other lamps in newer vehicles, this device is producing brighter, more attractive ...

Abstract: This paper highlights significant advancements in the creation and enhancement of equivalent circuit models for solar cells. First, two novel configurations are proposed to enhance the ...

Most plastics don't conduct electricity, though that hasn't stopped researchers from trying to build plastic computer chips. Some groups have coaxed modest numbers of electrons through plastics using ...

Abstract: Wound-rotor synchronous generators (WRSGs) are the main structures used in aircraft power systems. As a key component of WRSGs for realizing brushless commutation, rotary rectifiers (RRs) ...
