What are light emitting diodes?

A LED is a forward biased P-N junction diode which emits visible light when energized.

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.

Uses of Good and bad absorbers of Thermal radiation

1) Appetite is increased in Winters

Atmospheric temperature is reduced in winters but body temperature remains the same.So more heat is lost by the body.So we tend to eat more to make up for the loss

2)The bottom of the cooking utencils is kept black and rough

Black and rough surface absorb more heat from the burner and cooks the food rapidly

Capacitor : Uses, Unit and Formula

1) The main purpose of the capacitor is to store charge . If an instantanous strong current is to be flown in a circuit,the best way would be to connect the terminals of the circuit to a charge capacitor

2 A capacitor can store electric energy when disconnected from its charging circuit, so it can be used like a temporary battery. Capacitors are commonly used in electronic devices to maintain power supply while batteries are being changed. (This prevents loss of information in volatile memory.)
