How to use multiple solar panels?

Calculating watts Power[watt]=Voltage[volt] * Current[Ampere] if the panel is rated as 5v 200 mA then Power=1 watt Wiring multiple solar panels Parallel wiring This is required if your application need more power than rated. By connecting the positive terminal of…

How radio works?

How does radio works? Audio signals are transmitted by imposing lower audio frequencies on the high frequency carrier wave. In other words the audio signals are added to the carrier frequency. Its amplitude is modulated. At the receiving end, a…

Passive Components RESISTORS To oppose the flow of electrons ( current). The symbols are shown below. Resistance is measured in units called “Ohm”. 1000 ohms is shown as 1k ohm (103 ohm) and 1000 k ohm is shown as M.ohms…

Basic Electronics – 1

Introduction Electronic component can be divided into 2 types: Active and Passive components Resistors and Capacitors etc. are known as passive components because they can only attenuate the electrical voltage and signals and cannot amplify. Devices like transistors and operational amplifier(op…
