National Bird Day: Why Birds Matter to Us

National Bird Day is celebrated every year on 5 January . This day is observed to spread awareness about birds, their importance in nature, and the need to protect them. Birds are beautiful living beings and play a very important role in keeping our environment healthy. Origin of National Bird Day National Bird Day was first celebrated in the year 2002 . It was started by bird lovers and environmental groups to protect birds from dangers like deforestation, pollution, and illegal hunting. The main aim of this day is to teach people, especially students, why birds are important and how we can help save them. Why Is National Bird Day Celebrated Every Year? National Bird Day is celebrated every year because many bird species are disappearing due to human activities. Cutting trees, using plastic, pollution, and climate change are harming birds and their homes. This day reminds us that: Birds need protection Nature should be respected Everyone has a responsibil...

Types of power diodes | Power electronics

Types of Power Diodes

  • The power diodes are mainly classified into following three categories:

General purpose diode

  • The value of trr for these diodes are vey high, and it is about 25µs.
  • The current rating for general purpose diode is from 1A to several thousand amperes.
  • The voltage rating of general purpose diodes are from 50V to 5kV.

Uses

  • The general purpose diodes are used in battery charger.
  • These diodes are also used in electric traction.
  • The general purpose diodes are also used in electroplating.
  • In welding works, the general purpose diodes are very useful.
  • These diodes are used in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) too.

Fast recovery diode

  • The value of trr of fast recovery diode is low and it about 5µs or less.
  • Its current rating is from 1A to several thousand amperes.
  • The voltage rating of fast recovery diodes are from 50V to 3kV.
  • If we require the voltage rating of fast recovery diode below 400V, then the epitaxial process is used for diode fabrication and for such diode trr ≈ 50ns.
  • And for voltage rating of fast recovery diode above 400V, the diffusion process is used for diode fabrication.

Uses

  • The fast recovery didoes are used in choppers.
  • The fast recovery diodes are also used in communication circuits.
  • The switched mode power supplies (SMPS) also uses fast recovery diodes.
  • The fast recovery diodes are used in induction heating also.

Schottky diode

  • In schottky diodes metal-to-semiconductor junction is used for rectification purpose instead of pn-junction.
  • The schottky diodes have very fast recovery time and low forward voltage drop.
  • The reverse voltage rating of schottky diodes is about 100V.
  • Also the forward current rating of schottky diodes are from 1A to 300A.

Uses

  • The schottky diodes are used in high frequency instrumentation.
  • These diodes are also used in switching power supplies.

Electric field due to circular loop of charge | Electromagnetics

Electric field due to circular loop of charge Electric field The space around a charged particle in which another charge experience a force is known as electric field. The source of electric field is either a charge or a time varying magnetic field. If the value of electric field does not change with time, then it will be uniform electric field, otherwise it will be non-uniform electric field. Electric field due to circular loop of charge If λ is linear charge density, then the charge on d l dq = λ d l      ⇒     dq = (q / 2πa) d l Electric field at P due to charge dq Special cases When P lies at the centre of the loop i. e., r = 0, then E = 0 When P lies very far from the centre of the loop i. e., r >> a, then E = kq / r 2 In this case circular loop behaves as a point charge.

आवेश तथा उसके गुण | Charge and its properties in Hindi

आवेश तथा उसके गुण आवेश क्या है कोई नहीं जानता कि आवेश क्या है, केवल हम यह जानते हैं कि आवेश क्या कर सकता है तथा इसके गुण क्या हैं ? आवेश के प्रकार आवेश दो प्रकार के होते हैं, धनावेश तथा ऋणावेश। धनावेश प्रोटॉन के कारण होता है तथा ऋणावेश इलेक्ट्रॉन के कारण। तीसरे प्रकार का कोई आवेश ब्रहाण्ड में विद्यमान नहीं है। आवेश का क्वांटीकरण आवेश सदैव पैकेट के रूप में होता है, सतत्‌ नहीं। किसी वस्तु को दिया गया आवेश सदैव एक न्यूनतम आवेश का पूर्ण गुणज होता है यह न्यूनतम आवेश इलेक्ट्रॉन के आवेश के बराबर होता है, जिसका मान e = 1.6*10 -19 C होता है। q = ne,        यहां n = 0, 1, 2, ... आवेश संरक्षण का नियम आवेश को न तो उत्पन्न किया जा सकता है तथा न ही नष्ट किया जा सकता है, परन्तु इसे निकाय के एक भाग से दूसरे भाग में स्थानान्तरित किया जा सकता है। किसी विलगित निकाय का आवेश सदैव संरक्षित रहता है। Σq i = नियत,           यहां q i = iवे कण का आवेश आवेश के गुण स्थिर विद्युत आव...
