A cyclotron is a system that enhances the strength of charged particles or ions. E.O. Lawrence and M.S Livingston devised it in 1934 to investigate the nuclear structure. The cyclotron uses the combined effect of electric and magnetic fields to amplify the energy of charged particles. Cross fields are termed so since both fields are […]

An electrical component that keeps the energy stored in an electric field is called a Capacitor. The capacitor consists of two metalized foil or metal plates separated by a dielectric material. An increase in voltage across the plates builds up the electric field and more charge can be stored. The capacitance is a measure of

A capacitor is a battery-like device that works via a different technique. While capacitors and batteries both stock electrical energy, they operate differently. A battery comprises two terminals; on one side, electrons are produced due to chemical reactions, while the other collects them when we make a circuit. However, a capacitor is way more straightforward

Firstly, let us learn briefly about what a capacitor is and discuss its terminologies. What is a capacitor? A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy within an electric field. Structure: A capacitor consists of two conductors placed closely but insulated from each other. If one of the conductors has a charge of +Q

Capacitors are storage devices for electrical energy inside an electromagnetic field. It is a non-active or passive electrical component that has two ends or terminals. When both the parallel plates are connected in series to a battery, a parallel plate capacitor is formed, which may store some amount of electrical energy until the insulator or

The capacitor is a device or a passive electronic component with two terminals that store electrical energy in an electric field. The effect marked by the capacitor is the capacitance of the capacitor. There are two basic types of combinations of capacitors, i.e. series and parallel combinations of the capacitor. There is a regular arrangement of capacitors  In

A particle accelerator is a machine used to accelerate particles like protons and electrons with a very high speed and energy. The primary purpose of originating these particles is to form a well-defined beam. Ernest Lawrence invented this machine (circular particle accelerator) in 1929. The produced beams of accelerated particles like protons and electrons are

During 1929-30, scientist Lawrence invented a particle accelerator device called the cyclotron. A cyclotron contains a hollow cylinder divided into two Dees in a vacuum chamber, in which the charged particles are accelerated under the influence of an electric field and static magnetic field along a spiral path. The charged particles accelerated in the cyclotrons

Capacitance is the rate of the quantum of electric charge stored on a conductor to a difference in electric potential. There are two nearly affiliated sundries of capacitance, one capacitance and collective capacitance. Any object that can be electrically charged exhibits one capacitance. Capacitance, a volume in the SI system of units, is specified as

A soap bubble has two liquid surfaces which are in contact with air, one inside the soap bubble and the other outside the soap bubble. At equilibrium conditions, the air pressure inside the soap bubble is increased than the outside pressure, and the extra pressure is called excess pressure.     What is excess pressure?  When
