Thevenin vs Norton Theorem Thevenin’s theorem and Norton’s theorem are two important theorems used in fields such as electrical engineering, electronic engineering, physics, circuit analysis and circuit modeling. These two theorems are used to reduce large circuits to simple voltage sources, current sources and resistors. These theories are very useful in calculating and simulating changes […]
Difference Between Alcohol and Mercury Thermometers
Alcohol vs Mercury Thermometers Thermometer is a device used for measuring temperature. It has a temperature sensitive bulb filled with liquid. And there is a scale showing the measured temperature. Normally, temperatures are measured in Celsius degree or Fahrenheit degrees. Thermometers have a narrow capillary tube, which is connected to the bulb with temperature sensitive […]
Difference Between Active and Passive GPS
Active vs Passive GPS The GPS stands for Global Positioning System. As the name indicates GPS is used for the purpose of tracking something like locations, persons etc. This technology is used in almost all fields of science and others for hi-tech purposes, and by individuals for driving, exploring, running, fishing, etc. The USA defence […]
Difference Between Diffraction and Refraction
Diffraction vs Refraction Diffraction and refraction are both wave properties. They sound similar, as both represent some sort of bending of waves. For instance, if we put a straw in to a glass of water, it appears to be broken. That happens due to the refraction of light waves. Using a ripple tank we can […]
Difference Between Distortion and Noise
Distortion vs Noise Distortion and noise are two different unwanted effects on signals. Systems are designed to minimize the effect of these two undesired phenomena. In data communication, if not properly addressed, effects of attenuation and distortion have the capability to make a data transfer unsuccessful. Distortion Distortion is known as the alternation of the […]
Difference Between Broadband and Narrowband
Broadband vs Narrowband In communications, band is referred to as the range of frequencies (bandwidth) used in the channel. Depending on the size of the band (in terms of kHz, MHz or GHz), and some other properties of the communication channel, they can be categorized as narrowband, broadband and wideband etc. In data communication, bandwidth […]
Difference Between Transitive Property and Substitution Property
Transitive Property vs Substitution Property The substitution property is used for values or variables that represent numbers. The substitution property of equality states that for any numbers a and b, if a = b, then a may be replaced with b. Therefore, if a=b, then we can change any ‘a’ to a ‘b’ or any ‘b’ […]
Difference Between Bernoulli and Binomial
Bernoulli vs Binomial Very often in real life, we come across events, which have only two outcomes that matters. For example, either we pass a job interview that we faced or fail that interview, either our flight depart on time or it is delayed. In all these situations, we can apply the probability concept ‘Bernoulli […]
Difference Between Volume and Area
Volume vs Area The terms volume and area are often mentioned by many people of different intellect; they might be mathematicians, physicists, teachers, engineers, or just ordinary people. Volume and area are very much related to each other that sometimes some people bet confused about their usage. Volume Volume can be simply defined as the […]
Difference Between Torque and Torsion
Torque vs Torsion Torque and torsion are two very important concepts when it comes to the fields such as engineering, physics and motor mechanics. Torque and torsion are both the results of coupled forces. These concepts are extremely useful when designing structures and machinery, and must be accounted for because of the immense impact on […]
