While electrical lighting has radically changed how we can take advantage of low light hours, it is a technology that has become taken for granted in recent decades. Although lighting is extremely reliable, it can be an issue when a fixture decides to fail. A spent light bulb may be a simple replacement that only takes a matter of moments; however,a failed lamp socket is another story. As replacing a lamp socket is not particularly dangerous nor complex, it can be useful to have an understanding of how the process is carried out, as well as what tools may be needed to get the job done.

Hall Effect sensors are devices which measure the direction and intensity of a magnetic field by way of its interactions with current. The Hall Effect that it observes has been known for hundreds of years, but has only been put to use in the last three decades through these sensors. Although the Hall Effect sensor is a magnetic field sensor, it can be used as the principle component in many other types of sensing devices such as those that measure current, temperature, pressure, and more. Hall Effect sensors are particularly ideal sensors because they are able to detect the voltage of a current without breaking the line to put a meter in. Rather, they can register a magnetic field from a short distance away from the conductive material. As such, they have found a continuous role in many aircraft systems such as keyboard switches, fuel-level indicators, DC transformers, and more.

The major difference between conductors, semiconductors, and insulators is that they all have varying levels of conductivity. Conductors are defined by their high conductivity, meaning that they allow energy like electricity, heat, or sound, to flow through them with ease. Semiconductors, on the other hand, enable moderate flow, and insulators exhibit low conductivity. While conductivity serves as the principal difference between conductors, semiconductors, and insulators, there are a few other differences as well. As such, this blog will consider their uses, features, and types.

Solenoid coil is a versatile electrical component that utilizes a tightly wound wire around a metal core to generate an electromagnetic field (EMF). When an electrical current passes through the coil, the resulting EMF provides ample energy for linear motion. Solenoid coils find use in irrigation systems, toys, appliances, and other forms of automated equipment, and they are generally used to automatically turn any given application on or off.
