AI Thread Summary
Bilateral components in electrical circuits allow current to flow in either direction, exemplified by resistors. In contrast, non-bilateral components have a preferred direction for current flow, such as diodes. The distinction is crucial for circuit design and analysis. Understanding these components aids in predicting circuit behavior. Accurate identification of bilateral and non-bilateral components is essential for effective electrical engineering.

What is the mean of bilateral and non-bilateral components in the electrical circuit?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Well, I'd guess that in a bilateral component it doesn't matter which way the current passes through it (like a resistor), and a non-bilateral component has a preferred direction for the current to pass through it.

I'm sure someone will be along soon to confirm (or, more probably, correct) what I've said, since this isn't really my field of expertise!
 
Thank you for answer ,Cristo

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
