When we are about to discuss the concept of breakdown voltage, first we need to think about the concept of why it is needed and why it has to be implemented? So, let’s go with a clear interpretation. For the functioning of power transmission systems, there will be a requirement of power transformers. The insulation medium in the transformers gets reduced when it is made in contact with moisture, acids, oxygen, and heat. Of all these, heat is the foremost … [Read more...]
What is a Varactor Diode? Working and Characteristics
In general, we frequently use multiple number of electronics and electrical components to design electronic circuits. These basic components include resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, thyristors, transformers, and so on. Let us consider diode which is a two-terminal semiconductor solid state electronic device. Diode exhibits nonlinear V-I characteristics and it allows the current to flow only in one direction - during forward … [Read more...]
