Laser printer works on a principle called the static electricity. A charge is built up on any object that can be a balloon, your body etc. we know that atom with opposite charge attracts each other and the objects bind with the others having atoms […]
How capacitors work?
A capacitor or condenser is a passive electronic module that has a pair of conductors and is separated by a dielectric or insulator. While a probable difference subsists across the conductors, an electronic field is present in the dielectric. This electronic field stores energy and […]
