How do circuits work step by step?
1) Electrons flow from a positive to a negative voltage source. 2) The path taken by the electrons through the circuit depends on the resistance of the various circuit elements. 3) Sensors attached to the circuit provide real world inputs and outputs. 4) All circuits are made using transistors. Transistors act like taps. Open the tap with a small amount of effort (a few electrons) allows a large volume of water (a large number of electrons) to flow. Analog circuits (e.g. Amplifiers) work by varying the amount of how open the tap is. Digital circuits (e.g. Computers) work by switching taps fully on or off.
How does a broken wire affect a series circuit?
because the circuit is not a full circuit so it wont work!
How does a circuit board work?
A circuit board or more precisely a printed circuit board (PCB) is a mechanical structure that provides support for mounting electronics and electrical components and connecting them with conducting traces or wires. PCBs are designed to perform a specific electrical or logical function. So what and how a circuit works will depend on its design. e.g. a circuit board in a TV processes audio/video TV signals. An audio amplifier circuit board amplifies and makes audio signals louder. Similarly various circuit boards in a Personal Computer perform different functions e.g. PC mother board, TV tuner card, USB/Firewire Card, Graphics cards are all circuit boards and perform different tasks. All of them need power (typically a DC voltage) for various components and circuits to work.
What is the work of computer?
Computer is an electronic device. It was invented by Charles Babbage. To solve our problems make are work easier and faster. We can find any information about anything. We can paint, make our assingentments.
Examples of active and passive elements?
active element means that does not work itself it require external power source for working ie electricity or other and passive element means that work ifself does not equire external power source for working ie electricity or other eg. active- compressor need electricity, also tv,computer etc passive- thermometer sens temperature itself (mercury thermometer)
What device works in an electrical circuit?
any R L C combination when work in a circuit act like an electrical circuit... on other hand use of diodes, transistors, ICs are when used are counted in electronic circuits.
Why do you use resistors and capacitors in any electronic circuit?
because their effects are desired to make the circuit work
Can you use electronic circuit as a load?
If you are just using the load to pull a small amount of current, then yes a electronic circuit can be used for that. If you want a resistive load to measure voltage drop or something similar, then no an electronic circuit will usually not work for that.
What is an ac transistors?
As far as I know, transistors - and other electronic devices - basically work with DC, not AC. If a computer (for example) is plugged into an AC outlet, some device within the computer must first convert the AC current into DC current, which is then fed to the electronic components.
Why electronic circuits work at 24volts?
A circuit is designed to work at a specific voltage and that voltage only.
How does mobile keypad work?
mobile keypad really tine thing you push batten on the pad, circuit is complete and work
How did colossus work without transistors?
There were vacuum tubes before transistors
When power fails in electronic circuit where do l start tracing fault?
Start at the supply and work toward the load.
Why is computer internal components designed to use DC?
Transistors are the main working computer components. They either allow electricity to pass through or not pass through. They are either on or off. To work, they must allow electricity to go only one way. Sometimes transistors are attached to an AC circuit. Still they only let DC electricity come out. They are either on or off and only allow electricity to go one way.
What is the difference between a machine and electronic device and give a proof that a computer system is both a machine and electronic device?
A machine is any device that is used to make work easier while an electronic device is one that uses transistors and other electrical components rather than moving parts (mechanical). A computer operates using electrical components to make the work of processing data easier.
How does graphene work in transistors?
like any other semiconductor
