. Certain appliances like light bulbs and ceiling fans can be directly powered by AC, while others like laptops, amplifiers and mobile chargers require it to be converted into DC (Direct Current). In this demonstration, we used a dimmer knob to regulate the voltage of the incoming AC current. The dimmer knob actually contains a regulator circuit consisting of an electrical component known as TRIAC (Triode for Alternating Current). By controlling the phase angle at which the AC current enters the TRIAC, the average current flowing out can be controlled. Dimmer circuits can be widely used to gain more control over household appliances like lights and fans.

NOTICE BOARD
d’Art of Science partners with DFC 2017
Starting this year, d’Art of Science partners with DFC for promoting Hands-on/DIY Culture in Schools by starting a sub-award in the annual DFC Challenge. One school selected under the Best Prototype Award will get a chance to travel to Goa and develop their solution prototype in Goa with us. Over… READ MORE…
