The term bootstrap comes from the process of initializing the circuit or computer from a power off-on transition. The term is akin to picking one's self up by one's boot straps.
In an ordinary logic circuit, this entails making sure that the circuit starts off in the right state following power on, usually by having a resistor charge a capacitor from VCC, forming a RESET signal. Often, there is a diode across that resistor, so that short power off-on sequences force a reset.
Taking this further, into the computer, the RESET signal causes the processor to execute a bootstrap program out of ROM that initializes everything and loads the rest of the program from disk. (Some imbedded controllers do not have disks, but the principle is the same.)

How a bootstrap sweep circuit works?
A bootstrap sweep circuit basically works by linking together circuitry that can operate on its own without assistance from any outside or external source once it is activated. Much like basic alternating current this circuit can keep functioning all alone when properly linked up.
What is bootstrap generator?
i dont know this answar
What is the name for a circuit with one route around it?
Series Circuit
What is another name for a series -parallel circuit?
series other name current series and parallel is voltage
What is the relationship between resistance and capacitance in a clc circuit?
The relationship between resistance and capacitance in a clc circuit is the capacitive reactance given by XC.
What is bootstrap sweep circuit?
A bootstrap sweep circuit is a connection between two machines that can be used by themselves. It would be like linking a computer to a printer without Internet capabilities. The printer can work without the Internet on its own and so can the computer.

What is the name given to a circuit that has a load or resistance total of 0.0 ohms?
In that case, the circuit is shorted, or short-circuited.
Who was will turners farther in pirates of the caraibbean?

Why you go for bootstrap circuit?
Bootstrapping is used to allow bias to be applied to the base of a transistor while maintaining a very high input impedance.
When was Bootstrap Productions created?
Bootstrap Productions was created in 1999.
You need a cell in the circuit because?
Assuming you are talking about electrical circuits: "Cell" is the name given for a battery. Without a cell in the circuit, there is no supply of electricity. Therefore there is no electric circuit.
What was the name of the initiative designed to launch rapid industrialization in Puerto Rico?
Operation Bootstrap
Whose name is given to the unit of resistance in an electrical circuit?
Ohm. After Georg Simon Ohm
What game bootstrap parameter?
to open the game in gareana just put parameter_445@bootstrap
What kind of supply is given to the circuit?
ac supply is given and then in the circuit rectifier converts ac to dc
How was the first os loaded onto the computer?
By first loading a small bootstrap program. The bootstrap program then loaded the OS.It is still done this way, except the bootstrap programon most modern computers is preloaded on ROM so it needs no special action on the part of the operator/user to load it as was needed on the early computers.Some early computers used a 2 stage bootstrap to simplify thing for the operator/user: the small bootstrap program loaded a larger more powerful bootstrap program, which then loaded the OS. This is not necessary with the bootstrap program in ROM, the large bootstrap program would be the one in ROM.
