What does 1 unit equal to?

A unit is defined as a quantity chosen as a standard in terms of which other quantities may be expressed. This is why we have different units for different types of measurements.


Why in India voltage apply is 220 and in America voltage apply is 150?

This is just a standard that has been applied differently in different locals. much the same as cars originally were 6 volts but now the standard is12 volts. There is no intrinsic advantage other than maintaining the standard makes it easier to move electric motors from one area to another. The same vacuum cleaner works in NewYork and Denver. India has set their standard at 220 volts and this standard is maintained throughout the country.


What are performance parameters of rectifier?

Rectifiers have two parameters of interest - maximum forward current - and maximum reverse voltage. A rectifier is generally chosen based on these two parameters. Other parameters include turn-on/turn-off time, forward voltage drop, and capacitance. The importance of these and other parameters depends on the circuit design requirements.


What does an rs 232 cable look like?

It looks like any other low voltage cable, such as a CAT-5 internet cable. There are several variants to the RS-232 standard. The standard defines a 25 pin configuration for serial data communications. In many cases fewer conductors are used. Google RS-232 standard for definition of the connectors, cable length, restrictions, baud rates and voltage levels.
