Electric Current Electric Charge & Electromagnetism

Very basic question which an electrical student or professional may be asked is what is electric current and electric charge. The electric current is actually the flow of electric charge from one point to other point of the conductor or wire or cable. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a… Read More »

Difference Between Superconductor and Semiconductor

What is an electrical conductor? A material that permits the flow of electrical current is referred to as an electrical conductor. There are a variety of electrical conductors, but we will be focusing on two types which are semiconductors and superconductors. The key difference between a semiconductor and superconductor is that the conductivity of a… Read More »
