Thevenin's & Norton's Theorem

Thevenin’s Theorem states that any linear electrical network all the voltage sources and resistances  can be replaced by an equivalent voltage source Vth in series connection with an equivalent resistance Rth.

     Example:

If you apply source transformation technique to Thevenin's equivalent circuit then you will obtain Norton's equivalent circuit.

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.
