In 8086 microprocessor the total memory addressing capability is 1 mega bytes. For representing 1 mb there are minimum 4 hex digits are required i.e, 20 bits. but 8086 has fourteen 16-bit registers. That is there are no registers for representing 20 bit address. So,the total memory is divided into 16 logical segments and each segment capacity is 64 kb(kilo bytes). That is 16*64kb=1 mb.So,for representing 64 kb only 16 bit register is sufficient.

Can you replace a capacitor that is smaller in size but same value?

If, by smaller in size, you mean physical size, then yes. You just need to keep the same capacitance and minimum voltage rating. Also, in a power supply filter application, you need to consider the maximum RMS current rating.

Are circuit breaker panels chosen by total amperage of all circuit breakers in the panel?

Most often if you add up all the breaker values in a panel they will exceed the rating of the panel. The theory is that you never operate each breaker to its full capacity. The panels are sized to the maximum current that is capable of being supplied by the electric company equipment servicing your house. Correction: Panels are sized according to the outcome of a complicated process of estimating the maximum number of amps that are likely to be used at any one time. This gives you a minimum size and you install AT A MINIMUM the next larger size panel. I don't know of a maximum size by code but there are limits to what can be practically used. In the absence of this complicated process, there are some rules of thumb that are substituted on houses. These range from 100 amps to 200 amps.

How can you find minimum and maximum diameters?

-- Every circle has a diameter of some size. -- All of the diameters that you can draw in the same circle are the same size. -- The smaller the circle is, the smaller its diameter is. There's no minimum size. -- The larger the circle is, the larger its diameter is. There's no maximum size.
