What logic gate might be called the all or nothing gate?

AND gate is an all or

nothing gate because in able to have an output of logic 1,all of the input must be all logic 1 or else the output will be nothing or simply logic 0.

Why common emitter configuration is preferred?

Reason: The common Emitter mode has voltage and current gain better than the other two configurations(CB and CC).

i.e it has a current gain greater than that of CC mode and greater voltage gain than that of CB mode.

How is voltage measures use of load measured in a circuit?

a little thing called an ammeter, you clip this onto your circuit and it measures the voltage!xxx ask again

Why should the secondary of a power transformer not to be left on an open circuit?

In general there is no reason why it should not be, though there may be special situations. Perhaps there is confusion with CURRENT transformers which must not be left open circuit because of the high voltages which they will produce. it may trip the CB. although there is no faults but a high current called Inrush current is flow when the the power transfomer energized while its secondry circuit is open

Are transistors polarised?

No it alternates the power from the circuit/circuits.

What does a 'thermistor' measure?

A therm is used by gas companies to convert the volume of gas used to the equivalent of heat. It then calculates the actual energy used.

What is RTD sensor?

Resistance Temperature Difference. Used in thermocouple technology.

Which city never snows?

Cairo, Egypt is a city that very rarely experiences snowfall. The city has a desert climate that typically results in hot and dry weather year-round, with snow being a very rare occurrence.

Why charge carriers are not present in depletion region of am pn junction?

depletion region is formed only after recombination of holes and electrons..so in depletion region there are only and only immoble positive and nagative ions...hence,there is no charge carrier..

In replacing the capacitor on a mig welder can i change a 53000 microfarad 30 volts capacitor with a 56000 microfarad 40 volts capacitor?

Yes you can do it. more voltage is good, a little more capacitance is good. Be sure to use a good quality capacitor.

Note: on the old capacitor, it might be stated the temperature ratings such as 85 deg. C, 105 deg C, etc. Observe this as well. Higher is better.

How a pure sine wave inverter works circuit diagrams?

Filter the output with a low-pass filter whose cut-off frequency is less than 120 Hz.

That process removes the energy at harmonic frequencies from the output waveform,

leaving only the energy at 60 Hz.

What are the disadvantages of using common emitter amplifier?

Disadvantages of CE amplifier:

  1. 1. It has a high output resistance.
  2. 2. It responds poorly to high frequencies.
  3. 3. It has high thermal instabilities.
  4. 4. It's voltage gain is very unstable.

To design a second order low pass filter?

Although there are many filter types and ways to implement them, here's an active low-pass filter that's greatly simplified if R1=R2 and the op amp stage is a unity gain follower (RB=short and RA=open). Designing a 2-pole Butterworth filter requires just a few steps. 1. Choose a cutoff frequency fo (Hz). As an example, select fo=10 kHz to reduce a noise signal at 50 kHz and pass your desired signals below 5 kHz. 2. Pick a convenient cap value C2 between 100pF and 0.1 uF. Suppose you've got plenty of 1000pF caps in stock, select this value for C2. 3. Make C1 = 2 x C2 C1 = 2 · C2 = 2000pF 4. Calculate R1 = R2 = 0.707 / (2 · π · fo · C2) R1 = R2 = 0.707 / (2 · π · 10kHz · 1000pF) = 11.2 K ohms ......Rajiv......(scet)

Why is there a phase difference in common emitter configuration?

The phase shift from input to output is 180 degrees, which is just another way of saying the signal is flipped in polarity. What the phase shift means is that as the input starts going positive, the output starts going negative. The phase shift is due to how the device works in that configuration. Let's say it's operating in class A where the device is never cut off or reaches saturation during a full cycle of the input. The base is static biased to have the device running in the middle of its operating curve. It idles as some nominal value of Ic and awaits an input signal. When the voltage on the input starts to go positive, the device is forward biased even more than it was at idle. As forward bias increases, collector current increases. That's how the device works. Turn it on more, and more current flows through it. As collector current increases, collector voltage decreases. There's the key. Increasing base voltage causes increasing collector current and decreases collector voltage. Increasing base voltage causes decreasing collector voltage. And the opposite is true. That's it in a nutshell. Common emitter configurations phase shift signals by 180 degrees. And now you know how they do it.

Difference between bjt and ujt?

UJT is the voltage controlled device.in which only one mejority carriers are responsible for current flowing. UJT is one junction transistor and it is three terminal emitter and two base.

BJT is the current controlled device. in which both mejority and minority carrier are responsiblefor current flowing. this type of transistor consists of two junction and three terminal these are : emitter , base , collector.

Can you replace mosfet with an bjt transistor?

A MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) can be used INSTEAD of a BJT (bypolar junction transistor, so transistor is redundant in your question), if the circuit in question is modified to allow it and the MOSFET is chosen appropriately. BJT's will usually have a higher intrinsic gain, but have lower input resistance. Also a BJT in general will work better at higher frequencies than a MOSFET (unless you choose a high frequency MOSFET) due to the capacitive nature of MOSFETs.

What is the difference between a transistor being use as a switch and as an amplifier?

When used as a switch, a transistor is usually driven completely on (saturation) or completely off (cutoff). There are a few kinds of switching circuits though (e.g. ECL) that avoid saturation/cutoff to obtain faster speed, these operate on a fixed constant current and switch it through one of two transistors.

When used as an amplifier it is biased so that it operates in a linear, or near-linear, part of its characteristic curve so that the output faithfully copies the input.

What is an air purifier?

A UV air purifier along with a HEPA and carbon filter will help clean the air, not only from airborne particles and smoke, but also from germs.

The UV light is normally added to combat/kill floating fungus and bacteria. If you live in a damp place (near swamp, leaking pipe etc) you'll probably be inhaling spores from molds. This is where a UV light air purifier would be useful.

One of the best known UV air purifier is the Alen A375UV

What is transformer ratios?

ratio of secondry voltage to primary voltage is called voltage transformation ratio

What is a phase shifting transformer?

This applies to three-phase transformer connections. 'Phase shift' or 'angular displacement', is defined as 'the angle by which the secondary line-to-line voltage lags the primary line-to-line voltage'.

Angular displacement depends on the type of transformer connection. The most common are:

  • delta/delta results in an angular displacement of 0o or 180o
  • wye/wye results in an angular displacement of 0o or 180o
  • delta/wye results in an angular displacement of 30o or 210o
  • wye/delta results in an angular displacement of 0o or 180o

The angular displacement for all possible combinations of three-phase transformer connections are listed in transformer vector group charts.

Angular displacement determines whether or not it would be possible to parallel different types of three-phase transformer connections. For example, from the above data, it would be impossible to parallel, for example, a delta/delta transformer with a delta/wye transformer.

How depletion region across zener diode gets thin?

A diode is basically a PN junction device. P type semiconductors are rich in holes while N types are rich in electrons. (Rich means majority carriers here, which are found in the outer shell of atoms).

Thus at the junction of this P and N type material, electrons and holes will combine resulting in a deficiency of charge carriers. This is termed the depletion region.

When you attach the negative terminal of a battery to the N end of the diode and the positive terminal to the P end, the electrons will be repelled towards the junction and holes too will move towards the junction region, making it thin (narrow) (Further increase in voltage will make current to pass through). The opposite occurs when they are connected the other way. The region becomes thin.

For normal operations, zener diodes are connected in reverse (diodes usually are connected reversely unless you want drop some voltage) the depletion layer widens, as described above. But at a certain reverse voltage, the zener starts to conduct suddenly. This is called avalanche/breakdown voltage. How the layer becomes thin (if at all, seems improbable) when they are reverse connected, I do not know.
