How to Calculate Torque of DC Motor?

As you are familiar with the principle of a DC motor or DC machine that when it is loaded either as a motor or as a generator, conductors of the rotor are carrying the current. To better understand the concept, imagine the conductors which are laying in the magnetic field which is present in the… Read More »

DC Shunt Motor – Definition & Principle

What is a DC Shunt Motor? The shunt wound DC motor falls under the category of self excited DC motors, where the field windings are shunted to, or are connected in parallel to the armature winding of the motor, as its name is suggestive of. And for this reason both the armature winding and the… Read More »

Construction Usage & Operating Principle of Light Dependent Resistors LDR’s

LDR or Light Dependent Resistor which is also known as photo resistor is a device whose resistivity is a function of the incident electromagnetic radiation. SO we can say that these are light sensitive devices. Other terms which are used for LDR are photo conductors, photo conductive cells or simply photocells.  Light dependent resistor (LDR) or… Read More »
