Electric Car
Introduction The electric car is the best achievement by the automobile sector to make the earth pollution-free. Also, it reduces transportation costs due to no fuel charges or lowmaintains costs. If we have a look at the history of the electric car, the first electric car was invented by Gustave Trouve in 1881. The car…

Displacement Current
Introduction Initially, electricity and magnetism were treated as separate subjects. In a later period due to the contribution of Oersted, Faraday, Maxwell, etc., it evolved as a unified subject. The current-carrying wire creates a magnetic field around it. Faraday through his experiments showed that current can be produced even if there are no batteries in the…

Difference between Resistance and Resistivity
Resistance and resistivity are the major terms associated with the opposition in the flow of electric current in a circuit. The most significant difference between resistance and resistivity is that resistance is the measure of opposition offered by the material in the path of electric current, whereas resistivity is the property of material by virtue…

Difference between Motor and Generator
The conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy and electrical energy into mechanical energy is a necessary process in the industries as well as in our daily life. Electrical machines are used for the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy and mechanical energy into electrical energy. Depending upon the type of electromechanical energy conversion, the electrical…

Difference Between Earthing and Grounding
Introduction Electricity is one of the most used things by humans. It is transported from the powerhouse through the wires to the various houses and industrial locations. Electric current has two main types – Direct current and Alternating current. Alternating current mainly flows in the wires which see around us. Electricity has given new dimensions…

Current Coil
Introduction A current coil is basically a type of coil, like a wire, covered around an electrical conductor. The conductor is a soft iron core and the coil is made of insulated copper wire. If the coil covered around the conductor carries current, it is noted that the coil starts acting similar to a magnet.…

Conductivity of Water
Introduction We know that liquids like water carry electric currents due to the presence of salt in them. We get water from natural sources like rivers, lakes, and streams. Minerals are present in this water. They are nothing but salts that carry electric current. Let’s understand the concept of conductivity before studying the conductivity of…

Conduction of Electricity in Liquids
Introduction Electricity is the movement of electrons from one point to another point in a conductor. Conduction of electricity takes place in all three states of matter such as solid, liquid, and gas. The mechanism of conduction of electricity in liquid is different than in solid. We will try to understand the conduction of electricity…

Conservation of Electric Charge
Introduction Conservation of electric charge is one of the basic laws of nature. During the 18th century, one of the physicists named as Benjamin Franklin discovered the electric charge. He started the study of electricity in 1740 itself. For this discovery he went through some experiments and found the existence of the positive charge and negative charge. But this concept…

Electric Potential Point Charge
Introduction Most people are very doubtful about the terminology ‘Potential’. In our school time when we first time listened to this term, we learned that potential is somewhat related to the position. However, it means capacity or strength. The term electric potential represents the strength of electricity. When we start a study for electricity, the…
