Nickel Cadmium Batteries

Nickel Cadmium Batteries

Introduction Nickel-Cadmium batteries can save much time and money when they are used to replace other non-chargeable dry batteries. They must however, be treated in a suitable manner or they could become useless within just a few weeks. I have had many people come to...
Primary Cell

Primary Cell

Primary Cell: When dissimilar materials like zinc and carbon(or copper used in place of carbon)were immersed in a bath of acid solution(suphuric acid diluted in water), chamical action produced an electromotive force between the zinc and the carbon. The materials...
Diodes and Triodes

Diodes and Triodes

When a diode is connected in series with other circuit components, current can flow in only one dirction in all of these components. This characteristic makes the diode a useful device for “rectifying”, or converting AThe diode vacuum tube has only 2...

Amplifiers

Knowing what a diode is, or how a triode works is of little use unless you have some practical knowledge of how it can be applied within a circuit. We are going to begin with a VERY basic schematic of an early transmitter. When ever we are looking at a schematic...
Capacitors

Capacitors

As we have studied the effects of electricity flowing through wires, and have discussed resistors, coils, and metering devices. Both resistors and coils have a restricting effect on the flow of current. We also discussed how a coil has more resistance to AC than it...
