A P-N junction acts as a voltage-controlled switch. During forward biasied the p-n junction diode acts like an ON switch. When reverse biased, it acts like an OFF switch.
A single-phase induction motor with only one winding on the stator cannot produce any starting torque. Hence, some extra arrangement is required to start the motor. In the running condition, the motor is capable of developing the torque with only one winding on the stator. The simplest method of starting is to provide an auxiliary winding on the stator in addition to the main winding. The two windings are placed in the stator with their axes displaced by 90 electrical degrees in space.
⇒ The electric potential at a point is defined as the work done in bringing the unit positive charge ( +1C) from infinity to that point. The work done is independent of the path taken. Its unit is Volt (V). ⇒ Potential Difference (pd or V) is a measure of the difference in charge between two points in a conductor. Its unit is Volt (V). ⇒ The difference in charge produced by the battery is stored in the battery as electrical potential energy and is called electromotive force (shortened to emf). Electromotive force is also measured in volts. Its unit is Volt (V). ⇒ Electric flux is a measure of how much the electric field vectors penetrate through a given surface. The SI unit of electric flux is N.m2/C. Electrical potential, Potential difference, Electromotive force has the same SI unit i.e Volt (V). Hence Electric flux is alike from others.
Skin Effect The steady direct current distributes itself uniformly over the whole section of a conductor but the alternating current does not distribute uniformly rather than it tends to concentrate near the surface of a conductor. In fact in the AC system, no current flows through the core and the entire current is concentric at the surface regions. This phenomenon is called skin effect. The skin effect causes the effective resistance of the conductor to increase with the frequency of the current. The skin effect is due to eddy currents set up by the AC current. The skin effect has practical consequences in the design of radiofrequency and microwave circuits and to some extent in AC electrical power transmission and distribution systems.
Phosphorus (P) has 15 electron i.e 2,8,5. Hence the number of electron in its outermost orbit is 5. Silicon (Si) has 14 electron i.e 2,8,4. Hence the number of electrons in its outermost orbit is 4.
