Electric charge – definition, formula, properties, unit

Electric charge is a basic property of substances. There are some branches of Physics like Electrostatics, Electromagnetic field and current electricity that deal with electric charge and its motion. Interestingly all substances are neutral in nature. Charges on a substance are created artificially or by natural phenomena. In the article, I’m going explain the Definition, … Read more

Rules of significant figures in Calculations

Suppose you have calculated a value and the calculator is showing it as 10.333333…. Now, what will you write to express the number? Up to what decimal number will you take the data? To know this, the concept of significant digits is essential. Significant figures or significant digits are very important in measurements to write … Read more

Working Principle and Formula of a Transformer

Electricity Transformer is an electrical component that transforms the alternating electric power from one circuit to another circuit with the same frequency of the signal. It can change the amplitude of alternating voltage to a desired value at the output. But the power remains the same both at the primary and secondary coil. In this … Read more

Verification of Ohm’s Law experiment with data and graph

Ohm’s Law of current electricity is one of the popular law in science. This practical verification of Ohm’s law is very important for the practical or project purpose. My students usually ask me to demonstrate an experiment to verify Ohm’s law. In this article, we are going to presents lab-based set up for the verification … Read more

Magnetic force on a current-carrying wire

A current-carrying wire placed in an external magnetic field experiences a magnetic force. This is similar to the force between two magnets. Because a current-carrying conductor behaves like a magnet. Also, It will show the same interactions as other magnets when it is placed in front of a magnet. Even if we place two current-carrying … Read more

Darlington pair amplifier Transistor – circuit, theory & gain

We know that a Transistor can amplify the electric current at its output. Often, the amount of the amplified output does not meet the required criteria. That means we need the output current more than that. Then scientist Darlington proposed a new circuit arrangement with two coupled transistors which provides a huge current gain. This … Read more

All Basic Logic Gates – AND OR NOT gates

Logic gates are the basic components of digital circuits that operates following Boolean algebra. These gates have significant roles in construction of integrated circuits (ICs). There are total seven logic gates in digital electronics. OR gate, AND gate and NOT gate are the three basic logic gates among those. NAND gate and NOR gate are … Read more

Properties of electric charge class 12 physics

We have discussed almost everything on electric charges in another article (link is given in the related posts section at below). In this article, we are going to discuss the basic properties of an electric charge. This will be helpful for the students of class 10 and class 12. What is an electric charge? Electric … Read more

Properties of Magnetic field lines with diagram

Like electric field lines in electric field, there is a concept of magnetic field lines in Magnetic field. In this article, we are going to discuss the definition and the properties of Magnetic field lines and the diagram of magnetic field lines for a bar magnet, solenoid, straight wire and circular wire. What is magnetic … Read more

Magnetic Field intensity – formula, definition & concept

If we bring a bar magnet near another bar magnet then a force acts between the magnets. Same poles of magnets repel and opposite poles attract each other. This interaction is very similar to electric charges, but not exactly. Now question is, what makes this to happen? The answer is the magnetic force in magnetic … Read more
