What is circuit component?
Circuit components are the small devices used in electronic circuits to obtain the desired response.
Why h parameter are not used for transistor mode at high frequency?
finding h parameters involves open and short circuits which is difficult to obtain at high frequencies due to stray inductance and capacitance
From where do farmers obtain the inputs that they require?
farmers obtain their inputs from the markets with their surplus income.
Can you put two diodes in parallel in order to obtain the double load?
As a rule, NO!The main reason is thermal runaway:When you warm up a diode, its "conductance" at any particular voltage increases.(The Shockley diode equation gives the exact equation).Even with two identical diodes in parallel, if the temperature of one diode was even slightly hotter than the other diode, more of the current would go through the hotter one. The one with more current would heat up more rapidly, lowering its conductance even more, and after a short time the hotter diode is hogging most of the current.The final effect is that a diode will carry almost all the current, while the other stays almost unused.There are a variety of things that cause two diodes to *not* be identical, which only speeds up the thermal runaway.*the unavoidable imbalance between the two diodes voltage drops.*(with an AC signal): the diode with slightly faster turn-on time will absorb more turn-on loss*(with an AC signal): the diode with slightly slower turn-off time will absorb more turn-off lossThere is an obvious exception: use identical diodes, with exactly the same electrical and themal chracteristics. Individually selected diodes with voltage drop matched to less that one mV, and carefully assembled for thermal matching, may carry the same current, so effectively double the rating.It is a very unstable condition, like keeping a coin vertical on a table.Another arrangement is to add current sharing resistors in series to each diode, at least 0.3/0.4 V of additional voltage drop is required, so is a very unefficient solution.Considering high frequency signals (as in switching power supply) adds even more problems, so the answer is always: use just one diode, leave the task of paralleling only to very skilled people dealing with such high currents that no single diode in the market can withstand.

How do you get a higher voltage?
Do a web search for "voltage doubler" or "voltage multiplier" and you will find many solutions. For AC, using appropriate diodes and resistors in the proper configuration with a transformer will do the trick. There are "step up" transformers, which have a different number of windings on the primary and secondary coils. For DC circuits, you can obtain low-cost integrated circuits to effectively increase the input voltage. Look up "dc voltage doubler".
Obtain a square wave from sine wave from Zener diodes?
You can obtain a square wave from using two zener diodes which have a threshold significantly under the sinusoidal signal. For example: An input sinusoidal signal at 50V with two 10V zener diodes, the first in foward bias and the second in reverse bias. The output voltage will have a square wave form with 20V peak to peak.

What are the use of And logic gate?
AND logic gate is used to obtain the product of two digits. It is used in various combinational and sequential circuits.
Why series resonance is termed as selective circuit?
Because they can be used to obtain or get an output (on a series connected resistance with them) for a specific frequency of the input signal. This is the ideal case, but in fact, the resonance circuit passes a band (not a single frequency) of input signals' frequencies to take them at the output terminal. They are also termed as ( filters or filtering circuits ). They are called selective as they function as if they select signals of specific frequencies to be passed to the output.
Why h parameter are not used for transistor mode at high frequency?
finding h parameters involves open and short circuits which is difficult to obtain at high frequencies due to stray inductance and capacitance
How do humans obtain hydrogen?
Through electrolosys of water. This means applying two diodes or conductors i forget which. You apply enough current to water where the hydrogen to oxygen bonds break, and the gasses are different masses so the hydrogen floats to the top and is collected.
How are batteries connected together to obtain more current capacity?
A way of connecting batteries together to provide more current is to connect them in parallel. This allows more capacity at the same voltage. If the batteries were connected in series the voltage would be increased.
Where could one obtain one off PCB prototypes?
SunStone offers one-off PCB Prototype services, as do several other companies. These include Pentalogics, Bayareacircuits, SeeedStudio, Screaming Circuits and Eurocircuits.
How do you wire four 12 volt batteries to get 36 volts and 48amps?
Four 12V batteries may not be connected end to end to obtain 36 Volts. But four 12V batteries can be connected end to end to provide 48V and push 36 amps. The actual answer to your question suggests that you drop one 12V battery and use three, not four 12V batteries end to end to obtain 36V.
Why a zener diode is better than a simple diode?
A typical diode functions only in one direction (forward-bias). When subjected to reverse-bias, the junction will eventually break down under high enough voltage. A zener diode works the same way, but breaks down at a very specific reverse-bias voltage. This is called its zener voltage. Because of this property, a zener diode can be used to regulate the voltage in a circuit. When inserted the opposite orientation as you typically expect a diode, it begins to conduct when the voltage across it reaches the zener voltage. Then the voltage stays at that level. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_diode for more information.
Why does my twenty computers connected to switch have limited connectivity?
They're probably set up to use DHCP to obtain an IP address from the router. It's likely you don't have a working connection to your router. Make sure your switch is connected to the router, and not just the other computers.
