5 advantages and 5 disadvantages of wet and dry cell batteries?

Alkaline batteries use a different electroyte, and last five to eight times as long as long as zinc carbon cells

Wet cell batteries are rechargeable, but require a charger and can suffer from the memory effect. They also can contain harmful chemicals. Dry cell batteries are non-rechargeable but often last longer than one charged wet cell.

What is that little pack inside shoe boxes?

It is called the desiccant silica gel. It keeps out or prevents moisture to enter those shoe boxes. Moisture cause brittleness to shoes which makes it easily to be broken and it lessens the good quality of the shoes.

Suppose the amount of radiation that could be received from a microwave oven varies inversely as the square of the distance from it How many feet away must you stand to reduce your potential radiatio?

Suppose the amount of radiation that could be received from a microwave oven varies inversely as the square of the distance from it. How many feet away must you stand to reduce your potential radiation exposure to the amount you could receive standing 1 foot away?

Why would you want to disable DNS lookup in lab environment?

The Domain Name System is designed to translate names of any server anywhere in the world.

What year was the helicopter invented?

The very first piloted helicopter was invented by Paul Cornu in 1907, however, this design was not successful. French inventor, Etienne Oehmichen built and flew a helicopter one kilometer in 1924. Another early helicopter that flew for a decent distance was the German Focke-Wulf Fw 61, invented by an unknown inventor. Igor Sikorsky is considered to be the "father" of helicopters not because he invented the first. He is called that because he invented the first successful helicopter, upon which further designs were based.One of aviation's greatest designers, Russian born Igor Sikorsky began work on helicopters as early as 1910.

Why does the total emf of dry cell in series not equal in the reading of voltmeter?

because in ckt connection there r done some ohmic loss due to the connecting wires and other factor , so voltmeter reading is not equal to its rated reading.

and this also done due to different error like instrument error , measurement error etc...

What is the difference between HDMI 2x 3x 4x 5x etc?

2x, 3x, 4x etc. is the number of HDMI ports.

I got the followin from HDMI.ORG

HDMI is the global standard for connecting high-definition Consumer Electronics and PC products. It's the uncompressed, all-digital interface that delivers both dazzling quality and unmatched ease of use.

HDMI technology provides the highest possible signal to meet the needs of today's - and tomorrow's - HD entertainment systems. With a single cable, it transmits:

  • digital video
  • multi-channel surround sound
  • advanced control data

More than 800 manufacturers have adopted the HDMI standard, including some of the world's most trusted brands.

  • 229 million HDMI-enabled devices shipped in 2008. 300 million are more projected in 2009.
  • Market research from In-Stat projects over a billion HDMI devices in the market by 2010, when every new digital TV will feature at least one HDMI port

HDMI connectivity is already standard on a wide range of products:

  • HDTVs
  • Blu-ray Disc players
  • multimedia PCs
  • gaming systems
  • digital camcorders, and more.

With HDMI connectivity, you get it all. The convenience of a one-cable solution, plus the power and performance of a high-speed digital link. Now and in the future, it's the best way to connect HD.

Which came first the TV or computer?

The television has been available since the 1920s, while the first computer (in the modern sense of the word) was first created in the late 30s-early 40s. The computer, however, wasn't commercially available until 1975 when the Altair 8800 was released.

Is waterproof the same as intrinsically safe?

No they refer to two different features to the electronic device you are considering.. Intrinsically safe basically means your electronic devices circuit board are not going to blow up in certain atmospheres... ie- near other electronic equipment

What are the advantages of a rack mounted plc?

they have expandable memory and they come in cards which just slot into a mounted part

What appliances can you find a LM317 Chip in?

LM317 is a variable-output voltage regulator. I would expect to find it in small home appliances with electronic controls, portable radios, car electronics, cell phone chargers, etc.

If you need to find the chip somewhere to do some repairs, you can probably ask a manufacturer to send you a (free) sample. Otherwise, you can buy small quantities online from places like digi-key.

What are the qualities a electronics professional need to excel in his field?

A: This was asked before and the criteria remains the same a very hi reasoning quality to think concepts and troubleshooting along to know which book to look up for an answer. Nobody knows it all nobody can. To complex, to many fields

Just an addition to the above answer, I agree that choices are broad, but, then its a good thing also. By Identifying your interest area, you can be a master of that one specific field.

The initial step is to know the various specialization in the field of Electronics, having a superficial knowledge of them and then decide, what intrigues you most?.

I hope that part is already covered. Next step might be in the identification of the current direction of the research going on. For this, reading magazine articles are more useful over journals.

I hope this was helpful.

What are the differences among the LED light emitting diode chip manufacturers CREE Epistar Osram etc?

As far as I know, Cree has been in the LED chip manufacturing business for a lot longer than Osram and Philips and other lamp companies that have previously focused on older models like incandescents, halogens, and CFLs. As a result of this advanced engineering, LED bulbs from Cree, or smaller companies that use Cree chips such as LED Waves in NY or ElementaLED in CA, tend to be higher quality and last longer.
