Soldering each type of solder and alloy has different melting temperatures. The term "silver solder" denotes the type of solder that is used. Some soft solders are "silver-bearing" alloys used to solder silver-plated items. Lead-based solders should not be used on precious metals because the lead dissolves the metal and disfigures it. The distinction between soldering and brazing is based on the melting temperature of the filler alloy. A temperature of 450 °C is usually used as a practical demarcation between soldering and brazing. Soft soldering can be done with a heated iron whereas the other methods typically require a higher
Electrical element Circuit analysis using electric elements is useful for understanding many practical electrical networks using components. By analyzing the way a network is affected by its individual elements it is possible to estimate how a real network will behave. Circuit elements can be classified into different categories. One is how many terminals they have to connect them to other components: Elements can also be divided into active and passive: Another distinction is between linear and nonlinear: Only nine types of element (memristor not included), five passive and four active, are required to model any electrical component or circuit. Each element is
