Electricity (The transfer of energy)

-
Electricity..,  the most common word that we hear in our day-to-day life. Though it is not visible to us, we feel incomplete in the absence of it. Our lives would be impossible to imagine without electricity. That is the impact it has on our lifestyle. Even our environment is related to electricity in the form of lightning and thundering. Regardless of its physical existence, there exists a principle in science behind it. Electricity is a physical phenomenon that is associated with the matter and motion of charges present in it. Electricity and magnetism are relative phenomena of electromagnetism. Electricity is dependent on the presence of an electric charge (positive or negative) in matter, which produces an electric field. So, as electricity is defined as the motion of an electric charge in a particular direction, it causes an electric current and it produces a magnetic field. Notably, only negative charges (referred to as electrons) are responsible for the generation of electric

Conductor (ELECTRICal)

-

The term "conductor" has many different meanings in different contexts, but in electrical terminology, it refers to a material that allows electricity to pass through it. Those materials are usually metals, which have free electrons in them that come into motion when an external force (electromotive force) is applied between their terminals. The tendency to pass electricity through it is known as conductivity. This conductivity depends upon the resistance offered by the material. And based on their conductivity, the electrical conducting materials have been classified into conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. Recalling a few chemistry concepts, "an atom" is the basic constituent of all matter (whether elements or compounds), according to the modern atomic model theory. According to Rutherford's atomic model, an atom consists of a nucleus in the centre surrounded by orbiting electrons (negatively charged), as seen in the below figure. The electrons have

Vampire Appliances (Understand and SAVE)

-
Image
  If we search for the word "vampire" on the internet, we will usually get some unwanted results, so we always ignore them. That ignorance results in a hike in our daily power consumption. Furthermore, our monthly expenses have also increased. So, to understand more about the vampire things in day-to-day life, let's rethink our daily activities. Instead of turning off and unplugging our mobile phone charger, we will get out of bed, disconnect the phone from the charger, and continue our last night's conversations and begin postings. And we power off the air conditioner and fan using the remote button or mobile phone apps logically, but we will never physically switch off their power supply. Next, we will put on our geyser, have our bath, and not bother about the power socket switch connected to it. Later that day, we go to the television and start watching the content just using the smart devices' voice commands, while we don't even know where the power swit

RESISTANCE (To something..,)

-
Resistance to something..,   In general, we usually come across the word "The Resistance," which means opposite or against something. In electrical and electronics terminology, the same word is termed "Electrical Resistance," which means against the electric current. Yes, it does oppose the flow of electrons in a conductor. We all know that when a conducting material is subjected to a force called an electromotive force (e.m.f.), the free electrons present in the material come into motion in a particular direction, and that flow causes the electric current to be produced in that particular conductor. While the motion and direction of the electrons depend upon the e.m.f. applied, for example, a material with high resistance opposes the bulk flow of electrons such that the current produced in the conductor will be less. According to Ohm's law, the e.m.f. is directly proportional to the current produced. If the low e.m.f. is applied, it's obvious that less cu

Evolution of a computer processor

-

A processor is the core part of a computer that fetches, computes, and executes instructions and is popularly called a "central processing unit" (CPU). The processor is the hardware architecture of a computer that performs basic arithmetic, logical, control, and input or output (i/o) operations. These instructions are specified by the users sometimes, and there are some predefined programmes that run on their own. These instructions are used to drive the computers. Briefing the background of computer processors, it all started with the discovery of silicon (Si) by Baron Jons Jackob Berzelius, which is the basic component of the processor. Later, unlike the electrical switches, electronic switches (logic gates) were invented to perform logical operations when one or more binary inputs would produce a single binary output. Later, John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley invented the first transistor at the Bell Laboratories, a semiconductor device which amplifies
