RC module

Description: An RC circuit is used to introduce time delay in circuits. A combination of resistor and capacitor gives a time constant.

The following circuit shows a basic RC circuit. In the figure C1(100uF) works as a storage capacitor. When you press the switch, the capacitor charges quickly and provides base current to the transistor Q1, that results in collector current and that glows the LED D1.. The resistance R2(1K) provides a time constant of around 10seconds. After 10seconds, the base current is not enough for driving the transistor, so the LED also goes off. (more…)

Up Counter

An up counter simply counts from 0 to 9. We can use this circuit to make digital object counter. This circuit can also be used to make a digital clock.

Object counter using LDR and calculator

To make an object counter we can use a simple dark detector circuit and a normal calculator. Pole and NO (Normally Open) terminals of a relay have to be connected to the two pins which are used to activate ‘=’ key of calculator.
As we block the light falling on LDR, the calculator starts counting.
For the calculator to work as a counter, we first need to press ‘1’ and ‘+’ keys.
