Laws of Friction

Coulomb in 1781 conducted several experiment on t he friction of plane on dry surface. On the basis of his experiments he stated some laws of friction which as follows – Law of static friction Law of

Difference between drift current and diffusion current

Drift current Diffusion current Under the action of electric field the charge carriers in the semiconductor material stops moving randomly and start drifting towards or away the applied electric field depends upon their nature. This drift of

Why holes are not generated in metals

Vacancy of electron created in the valance band of solid due to the upward transition of electron is called hole. In case of semiconductor valance and conduction bands are separated by a gap and hence electron can

Force of friction and their types

Friction is the property of two surfaces is contact by virtue of which each surface resists the relative motion of the other surface. Thus when a body moves or tends to move tangentially with respect to the

Laser light and ordinary light difference

Laser light Ordinary light It is highly coherent. It is incoherent in nature. There coherence length as of the order of few km (Kilometer). There coherence length as of the order of few mm (Millimeter). It is

Working of optical fiber

An optical fiber consists of a very thin transparent fiber designed to guide light wave along this length. It works on the principle of total internal reflection. When light enters one end of the fiber it undergoes

Difference between Polarized light and Unpolarized light

Polarized light Unpolarized light The oscillation is confined to only one plane. The oscillation occur in many plane It is absolutely coherent in nature. It is incoherent in nature. Its intensity depends on the nature of Polaroid

Losses in steam turbines

What are the steam turbines losses? Frictional loss in nozzle Sudden expansion loss Frictional loss in bearing Frictional loss in moving blade Steam level with same K.E. called as carry over losses Frictional loss in fixed blade

Application and advantages of sensors
