Which is best core or shell transformers?
Because the flux leakage is less in shell type than that in core type T/F.
Additional AnswerA shell-type core's magnetic circuit is equivalent to a parallel electric circuit, so it has a lower reluctance compared to a core-type core of similar cross-sectional area.
Why logic gates are called logic gates?
Logic Gates are electronic building blocks of a digital system.
Their physical manifestation may take any form, but essentially a logic gate consists of a collection of binary digits and a set of rules where such digits are combined to give a resulting set of binary digits.
The rules that are implemented by logic gate are of the fundamental Boolean Algebraic Operations.
Logic gates may be coupled together so that digital input to a system produces a predetermined digital output. It is a logical set of rules. The concept of digital information flowing into a system through an electronic pathway coveys a perception that gave someone the idea of a gate when this was named long ago.

Megger test
On the whole megger testing is non destructive. What happens is a DC voltage is applied to the device or winding under test. It is an insulation test to see is the insulation has been injured in any way to cause a short circuit when normal power is applied to it. On my megger there are 3 ranges 300V, 750V, and 1000 volts. Applying the proper voltage is essential to not damaging the device you are testing. Working voltages up to 240 volts should use the 300 range. Working voltages up to 600 volts use the 750 volt range and working voltages above 600 use the 1000 volt range. As you can see if you used the 1000 volt range on a device that had a working voltage of say 24 volts you could damage the insulation just by testing it. So meggering a device is non destructive if you use the tester as its instructions tell you to.
How many amps does a ceiling fan use?
Between 0.5 - 0.9 amps (not including the energy for the light bulbs) depending on the make and model.
What are common uses of a common emitter amplifier?
bcause amplification factor beta is usually ranges from 20-500 hence this configuration gives appericiable current gain as well as voltage gain at its output on the other hand in the Common Collector configuration has very high input resistance(~750 kilo ohm) & very low output resistance(~25 ohm) so the voltage gain is always less than one & its most important application is for impedance matching for drivingh from low impedance load to high impedance source
What is the disadvantage of a half wave rectifier?
Not better but its power transfer is certainly better
Air conditioner tonnage calculation?
Calculating the appropriate tonnage (cooling capacity) for an air conditioner is essential to ensure that the unit effectively cools the desired space. The tonnage required depends on factors such as the room's size, insulation, climate, and heat-generating sources. The British Thermal Units (BTUs) are commonly used to measure cooling capacity. Here's a general guideline for calculating the required tonnage:
1.Determine the Room's Square Footage: Measure the length and width of the room in feet, then multiply these dimensions to get the square footage. For example, a room that is 20 feet long and 15 feet wide has a square footage of 20 x 15 = 300 square feet.
2. Consider the Insulation: If the room is well-insulated, you can use the following BTU formula:
BTUs = Square footage x 25
3. Adjust for Insulation and Climate: If the room has poor insulation or is in a particularly hot climate region, you may need to adjust the BTU calculation. Here's a more detailed formula:
BTUs = (Square footage x 25) + (Extra BTUs for insulation and climate)
The "Extra BTUs for insulation and climate" factor depends on the insulation quality and climate conditions:
4. Account for Heat-Generating Sources: If the room has significant heat sources (such as large windows, many occupants, or heat-generating appliances), you may need to add extra BTUs to compensate for this heat load. The exact adjustment depends on the specific heat sources present in the room.
5. Convert BTUs to Tons: Air conditioner capacity is typically measured in tons. To convert BTUs to tons, divide the calculated BTUs by 12,000 (1 ton = 12,000 BTUs). For example, if the calculated BTUs are 24,000, the required tonnage is 24,000 / 12,000 = 2 tons.
It's essential to use these calculations as a starting point and consult with a professional HVAC technician to ensure that the air conditioner is correctly sized for your specific needs. Factors such as the number of occupants, local climate, and unique room characteristics can influence the tonnage requirement. Oversized or undersized air conditioners can lead to inefficiency, discomfort, and higher energy bills.
What happens when an ammeter is connected wrong?
Ammeters have a low impedance, so if they are incorrectly connected in parallel to your load instead of in series, more current will flow through the circuit and the ammeter will almost act like a short. There is potential to burn our the ammeter.
Four 9-volt batteries are connected in parallel how much voltage is active across the circuit?
Four 9v batteries connected in a parallel will still emit 9 volts because you are not increasing the voltage, you are increasing the life. To increase the voltage of four 9v batteries, you must connect them in a series; that series will emit 9v X 4(batteries), which equals 36 volts.
Is the small prong positive or negative?
POSITIVE and NEGATIVE are Direct Current (DC) terms In Alternating Current (AC) terms it is: HOT-LEG (brass colored screw) and NEUTRAL (silver colored screw) On polarized plugs 120volts, the larger prong is the neutral
Can candles and magnets produce electricity?
I can think of two ways to do that:
1). Place a burning candle near a photovoltaic (solar) cell. The cell will convert
some of the heat and light energy from the candle flame to electrical energy.
2). This one is more complicated and takes more ancillary peripheral stuff.
-- Use the burning candle to heat and boil a container of water.
-- Guide the steam from the boiling water through the fan of a small turbine generator.
Advantages and disadvantages of departmental stores?
Advantages:
You can find anything you want in a store that has variety of things. Most departmental stores will have just about anything you're looking for, from clothes, to pharmaceutical products to food. We're living in a fast paced nation where we want to find things fast and get through our bidding quicker. You'll also find many products to be cheaper, for examples Walmart has many products cheaper than most stores although may vary because they can afford to place it to be cheaper because the demand is higher.
Disadvantages:
There's also disadvantages because many products may not be there, especially products that many other foreigners may want to use. Instead they'll probably have to export. Also because departmental stores carry everything many people will go to them causing traffic, parking dilemmas, and long waiting lines.
Economically:
Many people opening little local stores find themselves competing with large departmental stores, which in turn have them only buying what is needed to meet the demand of the people surrounding.
Reverse polarity is the opposite of normal polarity. Normal polarity in electronics is when you have the positive hooked up to the positive terminal and the negative to the negative terminal. Reverse polarity would be having the positive hooked up to the negative terminal and the negative to the positive terminal. The same concept can be used with magnets.
7812 is not a transistor. It is a three lead voltage regulator integrated circuit. Its maximum input voltage should be near 35 volts. The minimum input voltage should be near 14 volts. The output will be 12 volts.
How does line earth loop tester find Impedance of Supply System?
OK, well Earth Loop Tester have a permanent magnet in it. When we rotate it, the flux cut the the conductor and consequently an emf is produced. As we connect the two point of the tester to the earth it complete the circuit and current start flowing through it.
The ratio of voltage and current give us the Impedance of Earth.
Who invented the multi touch screen?
It was developed by Dr. Sam Hurst. He invented the first touch sensor which was not transparent and hence not like the touchscreens like today in 1971 at Kentucky University.
In 1974, he developed transparent touchscreens we use these days and in 1977 the whole technology used today was developed and patented it.
What are the importance of electrical splice and joints?
Totally important!
The connections must be well made and the wires tightly joined to prevent a loss of voltage to the device powered. In high current situations a poor connection causes heat at the connection and oxididaion of the wires and no more or intermittent connections.
Most problems in electrical is not a short but: an open connection.
Additional AnswerIn the case of high-voltage underground cables, the restoration of the insulation is critically important, as is restoring the cable's waterproof integrity. The skills required are such that cable jointers serve a full apprenticeship in that particular trade.
Why will or won't a transformer operate on DC?
Let's look at a transformer first. Transformers are essentially two coils that are wrapped (wound) around a common core. The primary is supplied with a changing voltage. This develops a changing magnetic field in the core. And this changing magnetic field in the core "sweeps" the secondary windings and generates a voltage in those secondary windings. The changes in the primary due to the changing voltage are inductively coupled into the secondary to generate voltage there. The general answer to why a transformer doesn't work on a DC supply is that a DC voltage doesn't "change" and cause changes in the magnetic field in the core, and, thereby, cause changes in the voltage in the secondary windings. When we "turn on" the DC (direct current), a field will be built in the core, it will sweep the secondary windings and deliver a "pulse" as the field is built. But then the secondary voltage will drop to zero after the pulse. This is because there is a static magnetic field around the secondary windings, and a static field will not sweep the windings and generate a voltage. There will be no secondary voltage. It is possible to generate pulses of voltage in a transformer by pulsing a DC voltage supplied to the primary. The ignition coil in an automobile works in this way. The 12-volt supply is pulsed to the coil to generate the high voltage to fire the spark plugs. It is possible to get a transformer to work on DC. But, in general, transformers need a dynamically changing voltage supplied to them to cause the changing magnetic field in the core. This changing magnetic field will sweep the secondary windings and generate a changing voltage there. AC (alternating current) works really well for this application, and we use this idea in the power grids around the world.
An RC circuit is a circuit in which the source is AC or alternating current and within that circuit there is a resistor and a capacitor
AnswerAn R-C circuit is one that has resistance and capacitance. As these are naturally occurring, you don't necessarily need a resistor and a capacitor!
An AC motor is an electric motor that runs on alternating current, like household electricity, as opposed to a DC motor that runs on direct current from a battery.
Most AC motors work from the mains supply, which has a frequency of 50Hz in the UK and 60Hz in the USA.
Other types are available that work like stepper motors and need a specialist supply to run them.
What is rated break down voltage?
A: ZENERS are nothing else then regular diode that have a very predictable reverse breakdown voltage of xx volts. This voltage can be used to limit the input voltage or regulate on it.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a modular plc's?
Advantages
Publicly traded companies are able to raise funds and capital through the sale of its securities. This is the reason publicly traded corporations are important: prior to their existence, it was very difficult to obtain large amounts of capital for private enterprises.
The financial media and city analysts will be able to access additional information about the business.[clarification needed]
DisadvantagesPrivately held companies have several advantages over publicly traded companies. A privately held company has no requirement to publicly disclose much, if any financial information; such information could be useful to competitors. For example, publicly traded companies in the United States are required by the SEC to submit an annual Form 10-K containing a comprehensive detail of a company's performance. Privately held companies do not file form 10-Ks; they leak less information to competitors, and they tend to be under less pressure to meet quarterly projections for sales and profits.Publicly traded companies are also required to spend more for certified public accountants and other bureaucratic paperwork required of all publicly traded companies under government regulations. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the United States does not apply to privately held companies. The money and income of the owners remains relatively unknown by the public
