How to make an LED Lamp

 
  
 Here we are going to make a simple led lamp.Its a simple circuit with less     components.In this led lamp we have can adjust the brightness of the lamp.

Circuit Diagram

 

 

Components

  • battery- lead acid 4.2v
  • switch- 2 way switch with center off
  • Resistors- 220 ohm(2),20 ohm
  • led- white (4),red(1)
  • adapter socket
  • diode- 1N4007

Working

Its a very simple circuit.The working is clearly simulated in the video.When the switch is in right position then the current flow through the high value resistor with low brightness and when the switch is in right position then the current will flow through the low value resistor with high brightness

 

 Thank you very much

HOW ?

HOW AN LED WORKS


An led is a Light Emitting Diode.The American engineer Nick Holonyak is the inventor of LED on 1962.LED is a special type of diode that is specifically optimized to give off light.It consist of two different type of semi conductor device place side by side to each other,that are P and N type semi conductors.P type semi conductor contains positively charged holes and N type semi conductor contains negatively charged electrons.When current passed through semi conductor,the  negatively charged electrons and positive charged holes are forced to move to the PN junction.When a free electron come near a hole they combine each other and because the holes exist art a lower energy level than the free electrons.The electrons must lose energy to combine with the hole.This energy released in the form of photos of light.The amount of photon energy released determines the frequency/color of LED.






 Advantages of LED
  • They're tiny and relatively inexpensive.
  • They're easy to control electronically.
  • They last virtually forever. That makes them brilliant for traffic signals.
  • They make light electronically without getting hot and that means they save lots of energy.


HOW A DC MOTOR WORKS





    A machine that converts dc power into mechanical energy is known as dc motor. Its operation is based on the principle that when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor experiences a mechanical force. The direction of the force is given by Fleming’s left hand rule.
      The main parts of a DC motor are:
  1. Stator magnet - A stator magnet may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet that provides constant magnetic field 
  2. Armature - Armature is a rotating part.The armature is an electromagnet made by coiling thin wire around two or more poles of a metal core.The armature has an axle, and the commutator is attached to the axle.The electrical contacts to the rotating ring are called "brushes" since copper brush contacts were used in early motors. Modern motors normally use spring-loaded carbon contacts, but the historical name for the contacts has persisted.




Commutation in DC Motor
In order to produce unidirectional force(or torque) on the armature conductors of a motor, the conductors under any pole must carry the current in the same direction at all times.The function of commutator and brush gear in a dc motor is to cause the reversal of current in a conductor as it moves from one side of a brush to the other.

Working

 

 The armature is connected to a DC power source through a pair of commutator rings. When the current flows through the coil an electromagnetic force is induced on it according to the Lorentz law, so the coil will start to rotate. You will notice that as the coil rotates, the commutator rings connect with the power source of opposite polarity. As a result, on the left side of the coil the electricity will always flow ‘away ‘and on the right side , electricity will always flow ‘towards ‘. This ensures that the torque action is also in the same direction throughout the motion, so the coil will continue rotating.

C program tutorials

1. How to start a new program in compiler Code Blocks

2. Difference between gets(),getch(),getche(),getchar() 

3. Pointers 

Pointers

Pointers are variables that contains the address of another variable.Pointers are declared as

<data type><*name of pointer>   => int *ptr
 
Example 1:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int a=15;
    int *ptr=&a;
    printf("pointer value=%d",*ptr);
}
 
Here we declare two variables one is a and other is ptr.Here variable ptr contains the address of variable a.When print *ptr it will go to the address of a and print the value in the address of a,ie 15.


Difference between gets(),getch(),getche(),getchar()-c program tutorial

Here this tutorial explain the difference between input functions gets(),getch(),getche(),and getchar() in a c program.The compiler used is Code Blocks.





gets() used to read a string and getch(),getche(),getchr() are used to read character

gets() -       Reading or accepting a string from the user

getch() -      it do not displayed on the screen and do not wait for enter key

getche() -     it displayed on the screen and don't wait for the enter key

getchar() - it displayed on the screen and wait for the enter key

      n &= (n-1) ;
      count++;
    }
    printf("number of 1's in the number = %d\n",count);
}


Description

9 = 1001 so there is total 2 number of 1s in 9


position of 1s



#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int num=0,check=0,i=0;

           printf("position %d\n",i+1);
       }
    }
}


Description
Here we enter the number 9 = 00001001 ( 8 bit binary equivalent of 9 ) . So here in this example from LSB to MSB 1's in the position 5 and 8.

Pointers 

sum of array

 #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

Switching Between 2 Different Voltages With Out Relay


This is a simple circuits to switch between two different voltage sources using two diodes.. No need of any relay or complicated circuits.If you are using schottky diodes then voltage drop will reduced.
when we connect to voltages we get the highest one on the output.Here in this example if we connect 9v first then the output voltage will be 8.6v(9v-diode drop) and when we connect 12 v in this circuit we will get 11.4v(12v-diode drop)
