Hi I want to know about quantization of electricity?

AI Thread Summary
Quantization of electricity refers to the discrete nature of electric charge, with the elementary charge being approximately 1.6 E-19 C. It does not contribute to increasing voltage. Additionally, using a galvanometer in a capacitor does not enhance its capacitance. The discussion emphasizes the fundamental principles of electric charge and the limitations of certain components in electrical engineering applications. Understanding these concepts is essential for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge in the field.

1.Is Quantization of electricity is helpful for increasing Voltage?
2. Can I use galvanometer in capacitor to increase it's capacitance?

Thank u , I am new to this forum.I want to ameliorate my knowledge in electrical engineering.

Hi there Pranav
welcome to PF :smile:

Q1 no
Q2 also no a galvanometer ... https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=galvanometer+how+it+workscheers

1) What do you mean by quantization of electricity? The most relevant statement that I can make is that electric charge is quantized (i.e discrete). It has a value of approximately 1.6 E-19 C, and every baryon, electron, muon and tau particle (along with their antiparticles) possesses this elementary value. Smaller charges (or more precisely, fractional charges) are present on the individual quarks and antiquarks which make up baryons and antibaryons, but we never observe them individually because of color confinement.
2) In a capacitor? Can you please elaborate on the circuit arrangement that you have in mind?

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
