Maxwell equations

Maxwell equations:


The electric and magnetic fields are governed by a set of four laws, known as Maxwell’s equations. Maxwell’s equations form the basis for the entire electromagnetic field theory.

Max well’s equations in integral form:

1. Faraday’s law:


                        A time-varying magnetic field gives rise to an electric field. Specifically, the

electromotive force around a closed path C is equal to the negative of the time rate of

increase of the magnetic flux enclosed by that path, that is,faraday

     2. Ampere’s circuit law:

Time varying electric fields give rise to magnetic fields. Specifically, the magnetomotive force (mmf) around a closed path C is equal to the sum of the current enclosed by that path due to actual flow of charges and the displacement current due to the time rate of increase of the electric flux (or displacement flux) enclosed by that path; that is,

ampere

        3. Gauss law of electric field:

Gauss’ law for the electric field states that electric charges give rise to electric field.Specifically, the electric flux emanating from a closed surface S is equal to the charge enclosed by that surface, that is,

gauss-electric

4. Gauss law of magnetic field:

Gauss’ law for the magnetic field states that the magnetic flux emanating from a closed surface S is equal to zero, that is,

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 ...

BJT (bipolar junction transistor)

A bipolar junction transistor is a three terminal semiconductor current controlled device with two P-N junctions. The three terminals are emitter(E), base(B) and collector(C). the emitter junction is heavily doped, base is less doped and made very thin and collector terminal is moderately doped. Collector has grater size than emitter and base terminal is thinner than both. (The thinner the base, the stronger the E-C electric field, and the larger the impact of a small current injected into the base. Explained clearly in active mode operation below) emitter terminal is moderate in size. A BJT has two types of transistors: NPN transistor PNP transistor NPN transistor : In an NPN transistor a p-type material is sandwiched between two n-type materials.
