Instruction RRC and RAR are basically two logical instructions available in instruction sets of 8085, to rotate the bits of the accumulator one position to the right. Define RRC and RAR instructions […]
AND Gate – definition, symbol, & Truth Table
An AND gate is a logic circuit having two or more inputs and one output. The output of an AND gate is HIGH only when all of its inputs are in the HIGH state. In all other cases, the output is LOW. When interpreted for a positive logic system, this means that the output of […]
Calculating the percentage of an element in a compound
Here, with an example, we will see how to calculate the percentage of an element in a compound. Relative atomic masses can also be used to calculate the percentage of different elements in a compound. For example:carbon dioxide (CO2) contains 12 g of carbon and 2 × 16 g of oxygen in 44 g of […]

Small Angle Approximations (for physics derivations and numerical problems)
For very small angles, you can approximate values for the sine, cosine, or tangent. This is useful when calculating the fringe separations in interference patterns. When θ is measured in radians, a small angle segment approximates to s/r where s is the arc length and r is the radius. In other words, for a small […]

Properties of P-type and N-type material & their differences
let us go through the properties of P-type and N-type semiconductors. Then we will compare P-type and N-type semiconductors, as well. P-type and N-type material In Figure 1, the left side material is a P-type semiconductor having negative acceptor ions and positively charged holes. The right side material is an N-type semiconductor having positive donor […]
Commonly used semiconductors: Germanium & Silicon
There are many semiconductors available, but very few of them have practical applications in electronics. The two commonly used materials are Germanium (Ge) and Silicon(Si). In Ge and Si, the energy required to break the covalent bond (energy required to release an electron) is very small. For Ge, it is 0.7 eV and for Si, […]

Change of state – some keywords & definitions
In this post, we defined some keywords related to ‘change of state’ or Phase change. These words include terms like critical point, triple point, etc. The three states of matter that you have considered are solid, liquid, and gas. Each of these states of matter can be considered as a phase. A phase change occurs […]

Converting L atm to Joule | Litre Atm to Joule
Here in this post, we will convert L atm to Joule. L atm is also known as Litre Atmosphere. L atm to Joule L atm is the product of 2 units and these 2 units are Litre (unit of volume) and Atmospheric pressure (or atmosphere which is a unit of pressure). L atm, hence, is […]
The effect of air resistance on projectile motion
In this post, we will find the effect of air resistance on projectile motion. We have seen that in the absence of air resistance, the trajectory or path followed by a projectile is a parabola and that the path depends only on the initial speed and angle of projection. But in the real world, all […]

What is the difference between fundamental quantity and derived quantity?
Length, Mass, and Time – Each of these 3 physical quantities doesn’t depend on any other quantity for its measurement. So these 3 are called Fundamental quantities. Other quantities like velocity, acceleration, and force all depend on more than one fundamental quantity for their measurements. These are called Derived Quantities. [ like velocity depends on […]
