SHUNT AND MULTIPLIER EXPLANATION
Shunt and multiplier are two important concepts used to measure current and voltage in electrical circuits. A shunt is a low-resistance path that is connected in parallel with a device or load, allowing some of the current to flow through…
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD OVERVIEW
The electromagnetic field is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the interaction between electrically charged particles and electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic field is composed of two separate but related fields: the electric field and the magnetic field. The electric…
PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT EXPLAINED
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from a material when it is exposed to electromagnetic radiation, such as light. The basic chemical equation for the photoelectric effect can be written as: hv + M →…
REACTIVITY OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
Introduction The reactivity of organic compounds refers to their ability to undergo chemical reactions. This reactivity is determined by several factors, including the presence of functional groups, the size and shape of the molecule, and the types of bonds present.…
