555 an IC which can be used for many applications and one of the application is astable multivibrator. For many applications we use IC 555 because its cost effective and have lot of features.
The main difference is astable multivibrator switches from one state to another state automatically i.e when a pulse is given to astable multivibrator, it immediately switches to high state and remains for certain time and switches back to low state. In 555timer you can decide your own application.

Is the mechanical advantage a constant value or can it be made to vary?

The mechanical advantage is a numerical relationship among the sizes of physical components of the machine. It's constant as long as the sizes of those parts of the machine are constant.

What the advantages of using the Java Collection Framework?

The main advantage is that you don't have to implement those collections yourself. Java provides very efficient implementations for dozens of collections.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified foods?

One of the disadvantages of the genetically modified foods is that it allows animal products in plants which could raise issues for those with dietary restrictions like the vegans. The advantage of the genetically modified foods is that they can increase the crop yield in a very small acreage.


Advantage and disadvantage of inline function in c plus plus?

The advantage of an inline function is that it eliminates the function calls completely, thus improving the performance wherever those calls appear. The disadvantage is that it increases code size, which can be detrimental to performance. For this reason, declaring a function for inline expansion is merely a hint to the compiler. If the increased code size would be detrimental, the compiler is free to ignore the inline declaration and retain the function call instead. While the programmer is free to manually expand their own functions, this only serves to increase maintenance should the function ever need to be changed, and could lead to errors should those changes not be propagated correctly. The advantage of having a function, even if it is only ever called once (or from within a loop), is to simplify your code and make it easier to read and maintain. If the function is simple, or is called seldom, then it is a good candidate for expansion, but its almost always better to let the compiler decide which functions should be inline expanded.

What is the advantage of bistable multivibrator using 555 ic over those made with opamp or bjt?

The advantage is most of the circuit has already been connected up for you and you only have to add a dc power supply and couple of components to set what frequency you want it to work at.


What is the practical use of astable multivibrator?

it can be used any where, where we need the clock pulse train of low frequancy.like a function generator contains.astable multivibrator is used to produce waveformsas Astable means the circuit is not set to one state or the other but rather oscillates between those states. Therefore the application is signal generation


How do you make ujt with npn and pnp transistors?

You dont. A UJT is a much simple device than either of those BJT's Maybe you want to make a multivibrator out of BJT's?


Can an opamp be powered with 5v and 0v?

An operational amplifier can operates within those limits. [+5 volts and 0 zero ] it can operate as long as there is any kind of differential power supply withing the limits of the device itself.
