TRANSISTOR Disadvantages-MOSFET Advantages

Hi friends,this time i wanna talk about basic electronic devices, they are transistor and mosfet with their disadvantages and advantages respectively. Major disadvantages that i would consider for transistor are,
1.Input impedence
2.Stability
I would also explain how these two are advantages for mosfet.
1.Input impedence : 
For transistor:Any small input at the base terminal will turn transistor active and make it work (i.e as a amplifier or as a switch),which is not required at particular small input. Transistor should respond only to a reasonable input .This indicates the input impedence(Ri) of a transistor is low.Actually for CC based transistor configuration,the input impendence is upto 500k ohms,which is enough, but if transistor is biased then due to R1 and R2 the net input impedence will decrease(R1||R2||Ri).
For mosfet:Mosfet abbreviates metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor,as the name itself indicates presence of oxide(SiO2) an insulator,which  prevents mosfet not to respond for small inputs
2.Stabilty
For transistor:We desire a fixed operating point that to in active region with Ib,Ic,Vce.The flow of small current(due to low input impedence) into BJT results in dissipation of electrical energy inform of heat.This results in rise of tempoerature which inturn increases Ic0 but Ic=(alpha)IE+Ic0,so Ic also increases.With this operating point is disturbed.It is referred as bias instability.To overcome bias instability,we have bias circuits which will stabilise the Q pont even change occured in Ic0 and temparature.Ic0 increases by 2 times for every 10 degree rise in temperature.
For mosfet:Bais instability is occured in BJT due to low input impedence,but as i said mosfet has high input impedence(due to SiO2) compared to transistor,so chances of instability is less in case of mosfet.

Circuit which indicates the charging level of battery

Hi friends ,As the need for rechargeable devices are increasing it is necessary to maintain the life of electronic devices which runs with  battery.Life of any rechargeable device depends upon the usage of charging capacity it has.Overcharging leads to reduce the life of device.Now a days due to overcharging many of the devices are out of work field.So if we know proper charging level of battery at every instant of time,it would help us to know whether to charge the battery or to use it.My circuit provides this features i.e when the battery is fully charged we can see a LED light glowing by this one will come to know that the battery is fully charged and has to unplug it.If not it need to be charged. Today i wanna show a circuit which will indicates the charging level of a DC storage battery.

Circuit description:

Input is an alternating voltage signal of 220v and 50hz supply,given to capacitor which is used to block DC,Stepdown transformer to reduce the signal level ,a rectifier to convert AC to DC,inverting and non inverting amplifiers,LED,1 v DC source and the battery whose charging level is to be detected.

Working:

Initially AC signal is passed through 'C' to block DC,which is fed to step down transformer to reduce the voltage signal from 220v to 13v.Now this is given to rectifier circuit for conversion process i.e from AC to DC.This constant 13V is given to non inverting terminal of opamp-1,inverting terminal is given with battery positive terminal for same opamp.Output of opamp-1 is given to inverting terminal of opamp-2 and its non inverting terminal is grounded.Output of opamp-2 is fed to LED which has -1v supply.

Operation:

case:1 Assume initially the battery has 2v in it ,V+>V-,therefore V01 is 13-2=11v,V02=-11v,since the potential at anode is much less than potential at cathode the LED doesnot glow.It means that battery is not yet fully charged.

case:2 Assume now the battery is fully charged i.e upto 13v,V+=V-,therefore V01=0,V02=0 and now the potential at anode(0v) is greater than potential at cathode(-1v),LED glows and indicates us that battery is fully charged and need to be unplugged.

*Since the ouput of rectifer is given to battery,it charges the battery when it is discharged by the user.

*Here two opamp are used,but the same work can be done with single opamp.For better explanation i has shown two.

WIRELESS ELECTRICITY-EXPLAINED

Movement of electrons (current) in free space without using any proper conduction path between two electronic devices is referred to as wireless electricity.Long before it is a dream but after a few years it will come true.

• Everyone knew that conductor has free valence electrons, by applying proper voltage (nothing but force) these electrons move and results current(flow of electrons).

1.Actually the concept of wireless electricity has started with faraday's law.

It states that whenever a conductor is placed in magnetic field(time changing) an induced emf(electro motive force) or voltage is induced in another conductor.This is considered as base for wireless electricity. Without any proper conduction path,this induced emf will results to move electrons in another conductor.This concept resulted to discover transformer.With the transformer we are able to alter voltage from a high valve(received from station)to a value required for home appliances.This is beginning for wireless electricity.

2.Second thing I would consider is from the basics of antenna. Actually antenna is an interface between free space and transmission line that converts V/I waves into E/H waves at the transmitter and viceversa at the receiver.HOW? When a voltage(V/I) is fed at the input, due to electric field(electrons) and magnetic field(as these electrons are moving),E/H waves are released into medium, this conversion V/I into E/H process is called radiation and at the receiver E/H is converted back  to its V/I form, this process is called induction.

By adopting both radiation and induction techniques we can transmit electricity without proper conduction path between two devices.

Conclusion:From first technique we need a strong magnetic field between two wireless devices and from second technique we need an antenna for wireless transfer of electricity.
