Electric flux density(D)

The force acting on a charge moving in an electromagnetic field, as given by the Lorentz force is associated two field vectors electric flux density(D) and the magnetic field intensity(H).


Electric flux density(D):



  • Electric flux is the normal (Perpendicular)  flux per unit area.

  • If a flux of \Phi passes through an area of A m^2 normal to the area then the flux density ( Denoted by D) is:D = \dfrac{\Phi}{A}

  • If a electric charge is place in the center of a sphere then the electric flux on the surface of the sphere is:


D = \dfrac{\Phi}{A} = \dfrac{Q}{4 \pi r^2} , where r =radius of the sphere.


The SI unit of electric flux is Coulomb per meter square.


Relation between Electric flux density and electric field intensity:


If we compare the formula for the


Electric flux Density given above with the formula for the Electric Field intensity ,  We see that:
D = \dfrac{Q}{4 \pi r^2}  and  E = \dfrac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon_r r^2}


Where , \epsilon_0 = Permittivity of vacuum and  \epsilon_r = relative Permittivity.


Thus, We can conclude that:
D = \epsilon _0 . \epsilon _r . E      And,      E = \dfrac{D}{\epsilon_0 . \epsilon_r}

photodiode

Introduction : A photo diode is a semi-conductor device, with a p-n junction and an intrinsic layer between p and n layers. It can be used as a light detector, which involves the conversion of light into current or voltage depending on mode of operation. [gallery ids="867,866" type="rectangular"] construction :   Working : When a photon of sufficient energy strikes the diode, it creates an electron-hole pair. This mechanism is also known as the inner photoelectric effect. If it occurs at the junction these carriers are swept from the junction by the built-in electric field of the depletion region. Thus holes move toward the anode, and electrons toward the cathode, and a photo current is produced. The total current through the photo diode is the sum of the dark current (current that is generated in the absence of light) and the photo current, so the dark current must be minimized to maximize the sensitivity of the device. Mainly it is operated in two modes 1.  Photo ...

resistor & potentiometer

Resistor is a two terminal passive electrical component that implants electrical resistance. in electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow. ohm's law : The behavior of an ideal resistor is dictated by the relationship specified by ohm's law. Ohm's law states that the voltage (V) across a resistor is proportional to the current (I), where the constant of proportionality is the resistance (R). resistors in series & parallel : The total resistance of resistors connected in series is the sum of their individual resistance values. The total resistance of resistors connected in parallel is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistors. resistor color code : 1 potentiometer :  it is three terminal variable resistor.
