Introduction Permittivity and permeability are two of the properties of every material that is placed within an electric field or a magnetic field. Although both the properties are related to each other to some extent, the differences between them are too vibrant. Permittivity mostly operates in the formation of an electric field whereas permeability operates in the formation of a magnetic field. In simple words, both are quantities to measure electromagnetism, where permittivity relates to the polarization and permeability relates to the magnetization of materials. What is Permittivity? Permittivity is an electric quantity that decides if a material placed within ... Read More

Introduction Photodiodes are generally recognised as a semiconductor device that has the ability to absorb light energy in order to generate electric current. For this specific reason, such device often has different names like photo sensor or photo-detector. The main purpose of developing such an application is to use these in a reverse-bias condition. Based on this concept, this tutorial is intended to include information regarding the types and applications of photodiodes along with explaining the advantages and disadvantages of it as well. What are Photodiodes? On a very basic note, a photodiode can be defined as a diode that ... Read More

Introduction Special theory of relativity is one of the most important theories in the field of physic. Special relativity describes the relationship between energy and mass. The theory further states that a small amount of mass can be transposable with a huge amount of energy. It is defined by the famous equation $E = mc^{2}$. The special relativity is applied in special cases. The theory is mostly used in the discussion of high energy, astronomical; distance, and ultra-fast speed, all without the complexity of gravity. In 1905, Einstein added gravity to his theories when he published his paper on general ... Read More

Introduction Paramagnetism is demonstrated as the kind of ''magnetism'' through which components are weakly captivated by evidently applied ''magnetic fields''. It forms induced and internal magnetic fields in the administration of the applied field of magnetism. The magnetic phenomenon of an atom possessing more than one unpaired electron is termed Paramagnetism. Unpaired electrons in the magnetic field have a magnetic dipole moment and perform like tiny magnets. What is Paramagnetism? Paramagnetism is defined as a magnetism feature of materials type feebly captivated by powerful magnets. It was named and researched by Michael Faraday, a British scientist in 1845. It is ...
