Either. although a passive device can only produce gain from 0-1 (-inf to 0dB)

an active device on the other hand is capable of producing gain thats greater than 1 (0dB)

What is meant by valve hunting?

Ideally, the valve should settle into a single position once setpoint is reached. A hunting valve over-controls, or goes too far, then reverses in an attempt to the correct overshoot, but goes too far, reverses direction again, and constantly repeats this cycle. A hunting valve results in poor control, and prematurely wears out the valve's mechanical parts. Hunting is usually indicative of loop gain too high (PID gain + process gain), or a valve that is oversized for the intended flow, or noisy input signal, or a PID integral term too small.

Why is the MC1458 IC used?

Answer The MC1458 is a high-performance operational amplifier with highopen-loop gain, internal compensation, high common-mode rangeand exceptional temperature stability. The MC1458 is short-circuitprotected. The MC1458/SA1458/MC1558 consists of a pair of 741 operationalamplifiers on a single chip.


Which kind of organization is Deseret Industries?

Desseret Industries is a thrift shop. It partners up with nonprofit organizations to help the community in multiple ways. One of these multiple ways is by donating clothes or household items to people in need of them. They also except donations to help communities around the world. Not only do they help those in need, but they also provide training services that help others gain certain skills needed in the job market today. Overall, the industries is an organization that helps those in need.

Active and passive components?

Electronic components are divided into active and passive categories. Passive components are those that do not exhibit gain or directional characteristics. They include resistors, capacitors and inductors. Active components are those that show a gain, such as a voltage or current gain, or have a directional characteristic such as a diode conducting only in one direction. Transistors, diodes, triacs and SCRs are examples. There is something of a debate about certain other components. Transformers, motors and relays are sometimes called active and sometimes not. It is perhaps more important that their function is understood than how they are classified.


What the equation for Ohms Law?

Ohm's Law states that, for a passive element, V (the voltage drop) is proportional to I (the current in the component), and the proportional constant is R (the resistance). Namely, V = R * I. For DC operations in a passive element, Ohm's Law is dealing with scalar quantities. For AC, V and I become vectors (phasors) for Ohm's Law to be valid. A passive element is an electrical component that does not have gain, voltage gain or current gain. Examples are resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and Transformers. An active element is one that has gain. Examples are transistors (MOSFET, bipolar, and JFET). A solar cell is an active element. Although Ohm's Law does not apply to transistors, the Law still can apply to the passive components of transistors, if we represent the transistor with passive elements and active elements. ======================================


When an object reflects light does it gain or lose energy?

That would depend on whether the object was active or passive. A passive reflector would gain some energy from the photons during the collision / interaction. An active reflector would first gain some energy then lose more as it pumps energy into the photons, boosting them. Although, at present, I can't think of an example of an active reflector of light, an example concept would be the flipper in a pinball game.


Is a saw filter an active component?

No, SAW filters are completely passive devices. You cannot get gain from a SAW filter, and they obey the rules of reciprocity (i.e. S12 = S21).


If antenna is passive than how can it add gain?

Antennas provide so called passive gain, which means it comes from particular shape of the antennaThe gain of an antenna is a passive phenomenon - power is not added by the antenna, but simply redistributed to provide more radiated power in a certain direction than would be transmitted by an isotropic antenna. If an antenna has a gain greater than one in some directions, it must have a gain less than one in other directions, since energy is conserved by the antenna.SOURCE: wikipedia.com


Do cells gain and then use energy through facilitated diffusion?

Cells do not gain energy through facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion is a passive process in which molecules move across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration with the help of transport proteins, without the need for energy input. Cells use energy through other processes such as active transport and cellular respiration to maintain their functions.
