Circuits

Overachieving and under-appreciated, circuits are the foundation that our technological society is built on. Now's your chance to find out not only how they work, but why. Questions regarding the physics behind voltage, resistance, capacitance, inductance, transistors, LEDs, switches, and power supplies; and how they're used to create analog and digital circuits, should be directed here.

What will happen if a negatively charged rod is brought close to a small plastic ball if the ball is postively charged?

They will attract becuase oppsites attract. If something is positivley charge and the other this is negativley charged they will almost always attract. Hope I helped.

How long does it take for a battery to charge a capacitor?

Usually a tiny fraction of a second. Actually it will depend on the characteristics of the the capacitor, and of the remaining circuit (mainly, any resistor in series). The "time constant" of a capacitor with a resistor in series to charge from 0 to a fraction of (1 - 1/e), about 68%, of its final value. This time is the product of the resistance and the capacitance. After about 5 time constant, you can consider the capacitor completely loaded for all practical purposes - i.e., it will be at the same voltage as the battery.

What is the direction of the flow in a battery?

Yes. Any source of "Direct current" exists on the physics of electron flow at a constant charge or fixed polarity . A battery is essentially a can full of chemicals that produce electrons through the process of electrochemical reactions. The directional flow of these electrons, caused by the Chemical reactions, characterizes polarity. Depending on whichever ends of the circuit the poles of the battery are placed, the electrons or "charge" will always flow from Negative to Positive.

How do you connect 8 batteries to one inverter?

-- If all 8 batteries have the same rated voltage as the inverter input,

then they must be configured in parallel.

-- If the batteries are not rated the same voltage as the inverter input,

then some combination of series and parallel has to be designed. The

specific configuration depends on the details of the batteries you have.

How does a bulb glow when a torch is switched on?

If your torch has an incandescent bulb in it, the resistance of the wire in the bulb generates enough heat that light is created.

If your torch has an LED bulb, the PN junction in the diode creates light when the diode is forward-biased.

What happens if you use different mAh batteries in electronics?

The battery with the larger mAh rating will last longer that the battery

with the smaller mAh number will last in the same application.

What the purpose of isolator?

It's to help one of your best scorers exploit favorable matchups. It's best used when the defense you are playing uses man to man instead of a type of zone.

Why implement 8086 processor to 8087 processor?

The 8086/8088 is the general purpose processor. The 8087 is the math co-processor for the 8086/8088.

Why are resistance materials used in toasters?

Because the main purpose of a toaster is to radiate heat. In order to

generate heat from electric current, resistance is required in the circuit.

Why connect positive end of battery with positive end of voltmeter?

The leads of the voltmeter are labeled that way to get a positive readout when you connect the positive lead to the positive terminal of the battery (and negative to negative). Digital Voltmeters will read negative voltage if connected backwards. Voltmeters with a needle, would have the current flowing in such a way that the needle would try to deflect 'below zero' because the needle windings are designed for the current to flow in one direction, to cause positive deflection of the needle.

Can you make a battery out of a banana?

it would be possible if you were a genius like albert einstein

Draw Circuit for keyboard interfacing with 8086?

For interfacing to the microprocessor system, usually push buttons keys are used. Whenever a key is pressed, there are small mechanical vibrations that cause noise on the input, which can cause the microprocessor to detect several keypresses instead of just one. Bouncing happens because of the tendency of any two metal contacts in an electronic device to generate multiple signals as the contacts close or open. You can solve this problem using software or hardware debouncing.

The hardware approach is shown in figure 8.1. It uses a cross-coupled latch formed with two Nand gates

Simple Keyboard Interface:

The figure 8.3 shows the simple keyboard interface

Manipal University Page No.: 195

When port pin is logic 1,key is open,otherwise key is closed. The software routine to get key code with key debounce is:

In the technique shown in figure 8.3, each key requires separate interface.This means, to interface one key,one input line is required.This is the disdavantage as it requires many line as many keys. This number of lines required can be reduced if keys are put in matrix form.

The figure 8.4 shows the interface of matrix key board

The 16 keys are arranged in four rows and four columns. The connection will be made such that when a key is pressed, it shotrs the corresponding

one row and one column. Two ports are required, input port for connecting rows and and output port for connecting columns. The lines connected to rows are called returned lines and the lines connected to columns are called scan lines

When all a key is pressed it shorts the corresponding row and column. If the output line of this colummn is low, then it makes the corresponding row line low,other wise the status of row line will be high. The pressed key will be identified by the data sent on the oputput port and the input code received from the input port. Figure 8.6 shows the flow chart for interfacing of 8086

As shown in the figure 8.7, the interfacing is done using 8255 PPI. The 8086 is being used in maximum mode and port A of 8255 is used for columns and port B for rows. By making use of the lookup table stored in the memory, the 8086 microprocessor will determine the code of the depressed key, then it will initiate the action. The figure 8.8 shows the flow chart for keyboard interface............

What kind of battery do you use to make a light bulb glow using wire and battery?

Any sort of dry battery will do this, you just need to match the required bulb voltage with the battery voltage. Most small dry batteries give 1.5 volts, the square shaped ones give 9 volts, and there are bigger ones used for lanterns and large flashlights. The bulb should have on it the required voltage, if it is say 3 volts you will need two batteries in series (connect them positive end to negative end of the second) or you can make a string in series, you just get number of batteries x 1.5 volts. If it is a car bulb these operate at 12 volts, you will need a car type battery for these.

What resister do you need for a 6.3v 250mA bulb on an 9v battery or 6 AA's?

-- The bulb draws 250 mA when energized by 6.3 volts,

so the resistance of the bulb is (6.3/0.25) = 25.2 ohms.

-- You need a resistor that will drop 2.7 volts when in series with 25.2 ohms

and energized by 9 volts.

R/(R + 25.2) = 2.7/9

R + 25.2/R = 9/2.7

1 + 25.2/R = 9/2.7

25.2/R = 6.3/2.7

6.3 R = (25.2) x (2.7)

R = (25.2) x (2.7)/6.3 = 10.8 ohms

Check:

-- 10.8 ohms and 25.2 ohms in series total 36 ohms.

-- When energized by 9 volts, the circuit draws 9/36 = 0.25 A = 250 mA.

-- The drop across the 10.8-ohm resistor is 10.8 x 0.25 = 2.7 volts.

-- The bulb has (9 - 2.7) = 6.3 volts across it, and 250 mA of current through it.

-- Yay !

How can you heat a wire to about 100 degrees Celsius with a battery?

Simply connect the wire between the two terminals of the battery.

The wire will get plenty hot, and probably even shine like a toaster,

but probably not for long.

How do you connect copper wires to battery?

i will tell you how if you tell me what this project is called,it uses light bulb, copper wires,holder,6 volt battery.

What is a battery holder in a circuit?

A device that provides both mechanical support for and electrical contacts to a battery. In general there is no schematic circuit symbol for a battery holder, as the symbol for a battery tends to imply a battery holder is also present.

What happens if a wire breaks?

The circuit stops working because of the short circuit

What is an electric current?

One kind of electrical current is the movement of electrons.

Electric currents are flows of the electrically charged particles found naturally within all conductors.

During an electric current in a wire or other metal object, the electrons of the metal atoms are forced to flow along.

Other answers

During currents in electrolytes, charged atoms called ions are flowing. In salt water, battery acid, wet earth, and human bodies, the ions found naturally in those materials are forced to flow. For example, an electric current in salt water is composed of positively charged sodium atoms moving in one direction, while negatively charged chlorine atoms go the other way.

During currents in plasma, movable electrons are flowing one way while positively charged gas atoms go the other way. In electric sparks, neon signs, fluorescent lamps, and in plasma in outer space, most of the current is composed of moving electrons, but a tiny portion is caused by positive gas ions flowing backwards against the electron motion.

Why does a potato have more voltage?

When two different metals are pushed into a potato a voltage can be measured across the metals. The same is true for many fruits and vegetables. The reason is that chemicals, normally acids, in the fruits or vegetables react with the metals and generate a voltage. Good metals to try are copper and brass but others are worth using as well. The chemical compositions vary and so does the voltage. Potatoes are known to give a higher voltage than many others. For those who have the inclination, try various metals and fruits to find the highest voltage. It is this same principle on which batteries are based. Unfortunately, fruit is not quite as good as a purpose made battery so don't expect to be running any high power devices from a lemon when you try it.

How much heat is produced in an electric stove if the current is increased three times?

If the resistance (R) remains constant the power P (i.e. rate of energy release) is proportional to the square of the current (I) P = R*I^2. So tripling the current will result in a nine-fold increase in power (d).

What is function of grid in the battery?

The more "plates" in the grid, the more surface area exposed to the electrolyte, hence the more power produced.

What happens when you connect the battery's negative side to the ground with a light bulb will it light up?

Nothing happens at all, unless there is a complete conducting path

back to the battery's positive side. Once you have that, current will

flow, and the light bulb may light up.

What will happen if battery is shorted and grounded?

If a battery is "shorted", meaning that its terminals are connected together

through a low resistance, high current flows in the connection and the battery

becomes discharged very soon. It makes no difference whether any part of the

battery is connected to ground.

What resistor is needed for a 6v dc motor with a 4.5v battery?

A 6v motor might not run at all on a 4.5v battery. Whether or not it does, it's likely

to discharge the battery rather rapidly. A series resistor will help the battery last

longer, but will make it even less likely that the motor will run at all. You're better

off taking some time to find either a 4.5v motor or a 6v battery.
