  2. Shockley diode equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley_diode_equation

    Later he gives a corresponding equation for current as a function of voltage under additional assumptions, which is the equation we call the Shockley ideal diode equation. [3] He calls it "a theoretical rectification formula giving the maximum rectification", with a footnote referencing a paper by Carl Wagner , Physikalische Zeitschrift 32 , pp ...

  3. Diode logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_logic

    Forward-biased diodes have low impedance approximating a short circuit with a small voltage drop, while reverse-biased diodes have a very high impedance approximating an open circuit. The diode symbol's arrow shows the forward-biased direction of conventional current flow.

  4. Numerical solution of the convection–diffusion equation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_solution_of_the...

    In this method, the basic shape function is modified to obtain the upwinding effect. This method is an extension of Runge–Kutta discontinuous for a convection-diffusion equation. For time-dependent equations, a different kind of approach is followed. The finite difference scheme has an equivalent in the finite element method (Galerkin method ...

  5. Bifurcation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_theory

    Phase portrait showing saddle-node bifurcation. Bifurcation theory is the mathematical study of changes in the qualitative or topological structure of a given family of curves, such as the integral curves of a family of vector fields, and the solutions of a family of differential equations.

  6. Kirchhoff's circuit laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchhoff's_circuit_laws

    The current entering any junction is equal to the current leaving that junction. i 2 + i 3 = i 1 + i 4. This law, also called Kirchhoff's first law, or Kirchhoff's junction rule, states that, for any node (junction) in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node; or equivalently:

  7. Power-flow study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-flow_study

    In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as voltages, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.

  8. Finite-difference time-domain method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-difference_time...

    The novelty of Kane Yee's FDTD scheme, presented in his seminal 1966 paper, [2] was to apply centered finite difference operators on staggered grids in space and time for each electric and magnetic vector field component in Maxwell's curl equations. The descriptor "Finite-difference time-domain" and its corresponding "FDTD" acronym were ...

  9. Hierarchy problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_problem

    In theoretical physics, the hierarchy problem is the problem concerning the large discrepancy between aspects of the weak force and gravity. [1] There is no scientific consensus on why, for example, the weak force is 10 24 times stronger than gravity .
