Basic Electronics

Semiconductor shows this behaviour due to their electronic Configuration. In addition to this, they exhibit specific properties according to their unique position in the periodic table. Group - IV elements in the periodic table are used as Semiconductor. Germanium and Silicon are categorised in Group - IV of the periodic table. The common property of all these elements is that they have 4 electrons in the outermost shell. The atoms of these materials have a particular structure, and this … [Read more...] about Semiconductor

To understand the mechanism of electronic devices, it is imperative to understand its construction and material used in it. A Semiconductor is the core building block of electronic devices. All the electronic devices and circuit in this world involves usage of a semiconductor. To have a better understanding of electronic devices, it is imperative to understand semiconductor and to understand semiconductor we should be acquainted with materials. You will get all the answers in this … [Read more...] about Material

Definition: Electronics Engineering is the sub-branch of Electrical Engineering which deals with the motion of electrons and their behavior in vacuum, gases, and semiconductors. These particles form the basis of electronic devices such as diodes, transistors, MOSFETs, etc. and these devices are the building block of electronics circuits. The word Electronics is formed from word Electron with Suffix “ics”. The word electron is formed by combining two words “electric” and “ion”. It is a … [Read more...] about Electronic Engineering

Definition: According to Bohr’s theory, each and every shell and subshell of atoms contain a discrete amount of energy. An atom has different energy levels. When atoms are brought closer to each other, electrons at outermost shell interact with each other. This bonding force between electrons is called as an inter-atomic interaction. This interaction causes the change in energy levels of electrons at the outermost shell. This change will give rise to energy band theory, and hence electrons … [Read more...] about Energy Band Theory

Definition: The particles like an ion, atom or molecule which has an electric charge on it, is known as the charged particles. The atom consists nucleus which has protons and neutrons on it and the outer shell of the atom consists electrons which move around its orbit. The total charge of the atom is neutral because it has an equal number of positive and negative charges on it. The charge on the atom may be positive, negative or neutral. The particles which consist more positive charge is … [Read more...] about Charged Particle
