Best Answer

Limiting circuits use 'clippers' to keep the input power within a set range in case of AC or below a set power level in DC circuitry.

The limiting property of the circuit is that it modifies the input to produce a signal that is within a desired range.

Would I have to use 4 resistors for 4 LEDs in a circuit?

Yes, each LED should have its own means of current limiting.


Is zener diode a voltage amplifier or currentlimitig circuit or osilator circuit?

The zener diode is neither a voltage amplifier nor a current limiting device but can be used in oscillator circuits to supply a constant output voltage.


What happens in the circuit when a1N4001 diode experiences its breakdown voltage of 50V?

If a diode breaks down in the reverse direction then, providing there is current-limiting resistance, nothing will happen to the diode. If there is no such current-limiting resistance the diode will be destroyed. Heat is the only enemy of a semiconductor of this type.


What is the difference between limiting and clamping circuit?

A diode-clipping circuit is used to skip some portion of the signal (e.g. the half way/full way rectifiers rectify the '-ve' or '+ve' part of the signal). A diode-clamping circuit is used to add some signals to the original signal.


What is limiting current?

In a reactor where electrochemistry is being conducted and electron exchange is taking place, the ions around a given electrode will permit a rapid initial electron current. But what happens after a few moments and the initial "rush" to the electrode is over? It's the ability of ions to diffuse through the electrolyte and get next to the electrode to continue the reaction that will govern the rate at which it preceeds. That sets the limiting current. Limiting current is the current flowing "out" or "in" an electrode in a reactor after the reaction begins and ion mobility takes control of the rate or speed of the reaction.


Is a zener diode a current limiter?

No. A zener diode is a voltage limiter. Circuit design might create a current limiting response, but the basic control is voltage, not current.


Why is a resistor needed to discharge or charge a capacitor in an electric circuit?

A resistor may be used in series charging for current limiting, filtering, or as a signal isolater. Resistors across caps are to discharge them for your safety or equalize voltages across the caps in series filtering circuit.

Why is the term limiting used to describe the limiting reactant?

The term "limiting" is used because the limiting reactant limits the amount of product produced.
