Why is RC coupling is popular?

Its cheaper, smaller in size, and lighter weight than transformer coupling in most cases, while still providing DC isolation between stages. Direct coupling, another alternative, cannot provide DC isolation and therefor tends to make the design of bias circuits more difficult.

Who made the radar?

As far as I know, radar was invented by a Hungarian scientist named Zoltan Bay. That radar was first used in World War II by the British troops.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of JFET over BJT?

An advantage of JFET is stable high current operation. A disadvantage of JFET is low capacitance. An advantage of BJT is constant voltage operation. A disadvantage of BJT is low thermal conductance.

Which wire has the lowest resistance?

Resistance is directly-proportional to the length and resistivity of a conductor, and inversely-proportional to its cross-sectional area.

So a shorter wire would have less resistance than a longer wire made from the same material, and a wire with a greater cross-sectional area would have less resistance than one with a smaller cross-sectional area made from the same material.

Resistivity depends on the material from which the wire is made, with some materials being better conductors than others. For example, silver has the lowest resistance compared with other metal conductors having identical dimensions. Similarly, a copper wire will have a lower resistance than an aluminium wire of identical dimensions.

What is the meaning of Radar?

Radar systems usually use wavelengths and are associated with digital signal processing. They consist of a transmitter, antenna receiver, switch, data recorder, processor, and display. Radar systems are used to track things including weather.

What is the difference between analog and digital data transmission?

This is essentially the same question as the difference between analog and digital. With analog electronics a voltage is used to represent (or to be an analogy for) some physical attribute in the real world. So for an analog transmission, at its simplest, a sound signal (say) is converted to a voltage, the voltage sent down a cable, then at the other end the voltage converted back into sound with a loudspeaker. With a digital system, the physicial attribute is measured and sent as a series of numbers, the numbers being converted to binary. For a digital transmission, the sound signal is converted to a series of numbers, sent as binary, and converted back to a sound signal at the other end. The advantages of digital is that it makes multiplexing much easier - making it easier to put many signals down the same physical cable. It also makes compressing the signal much easier - this is particularly effective for digital television transmission; 30-40 digital channels can be sent over the same bandwidth as 4 or 5 uncompressed analog channels. Also, digital is much more resiliant against noise - the digital receiver has to make a decision about each bit - is it there or not; noise can be pretty extreme before this becomes impossible, with analog, once noise is added its very difficult to remove it. The historical disadvantage of digital is that digital encoding and decoding equipment was expensive compared with the analog. Over the last 10 years or so, digital electronics has become much cheaper and more powerful.

Application of logic gates in mobiles?

What is this question really asking? If you are asking if you will find a 7400 IC in a phone, the answer is most likely no. If you are asking is there logic gates such as AND, OR, XOR, NOT gates in a mobile phone then the answer is yes, thousands if not millions of them. Where are they used in the phone? Everywhere from the CPU to the display of the screen, power management, you name it, they are there.

BTW: You should know that the CPU is nothing more than a collection of logic gates. A CPU may seem to work by magic, however I can assure you that there is nothing magic going on in a CPU.

What is considerede low voltage?

Low voltage is a relative term, as there is no 'level' at which a voltage is rated 'low'. Electrical safety codes define low voltage as circuits that do not require the same protections necessary at higher voltages.

What is electical circuits?

It is a way in which electrons from a voltage or current source stream. Electric current stream in a shut way is called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is known as the source of electrons.

What voltage would you expect to measure across closed switch?

Original Correct Answer:

The voltage across an open switch should equal the supply voltage.

More Detailed Answer:

The above answer is basically correct. However, it may not be EXACTLY the supply voltage.

This is counter-intuitive at first glance and confuses a lot of people, including electrical engineers. The reason is this. Voltage, Current and Resistance are all interrelated by Ohms Law. Voltage equals Current multiplied by Resistance.

It is easy to think that since a switch is open, then you do not have current flow through the circuit. Thus, current times any Resistance is equal to zero volts because the current is equal to zero. Thus, by this logic, you would expect to find zero volts across the switch. In actuality this is true.

But, when you insert you meter, you change the conditions of the circuit, and the following is the result.

Let's say that you have a circuit with a resistance load like a heater, and a inductive load like a motor. The switch that powers these devices is open, thus their is no current flowing through the resistance or inductive loads.

Now you put the meter across the open switch. When you do, you insert a very large resistance in parallel to the open switch. Why? Because to get volts, the meter measures current flow through a known resistance, and then calculates voltage. To keep the resistance from impacting the circuit performance, the resistance is very large. Therefore, when you insert the meter, you will get a flow of current through the meter.

Because of this large resistance, the current trough the resistance load, inductive load, and wires is very small. Thus, the voltage drop across the loads and wiring is very small. Therefore, it appears that the entire voltage in the circuit is across the huge resistance in the meter. The result is a voltage reading that is very near the source voltage.

Let's do the math. Let's assume you have 120 volts. You also have a resistance of 500 ohms, and a motor winding that has 0 ohms resistance when DC is applied (This is true for motors). The meter has a 10 million ohm resistance.

If these loads are in series, the total resistance is 10Million 500 ohms. The 11.9 microamps. By multiplying the current flow to each resistance, you get 6 millivolts across the resistance, no voltage across the motor winding, and 119.994 across the open switch or meter. Since a meter rounds it reading, you would get 120.

If the loads are in parellel, you would get the same thing, becuase the switch is in series with both loads. In this example, the motor winding would have all the current flow through it since it is zero ohms, and the parallel resitance load is 500 ohms. Thus, the total resistance is the 10 million of the meter, and this resistance drive the current, and thus the largest voltage drop is at the swtich/meter. You could decide to remove the motor from this parellel circuit. If you did then the then the result is the series circuit above.

What happens when you connect batteries of different capacities i.e Ah in parallel or in series in a circuit?

Capacity in Ah is not directly related to voltage. If you have 3 AA batteries, each with different mAh ratings, you should be able to connect them in parallel or series to your hearts content. In series, the voltage will be additive: 3*(1.5volts) = 4.5 volts total voltage across all three batteries in series, assuming the battery voltage is 1.5 volts. In parallel, the voltage will be equivalent to 1 battery. In parallel, the three batteries are able to provide 3 times more current at 1.5 volts than if all three are in series at 4.5 volts.

Be careful when parallelling batteries of different voltages though. This is not a good idea, as they will try to force each other to match terminal voltage (voltage at the outputs of the batteries). An example: 1.5 volt AA battery, and a 12 volt car battery can be put in series - the total voltage will be 13.5 volts. The total current that can be sourced will be limitted by the AA's limit (much less than the car battery's limit). If put in parallel, the AA will try to force the voltage of the car battery down to 1.5 volts by drawing current into itself from the car battery. Alternately, the car battery will try to force the AA to 12 volts by pushing current into the AA battery. The AA battery will overheat, and likely catastrophically fail (blow up).

What resistor will take you from 4.9V to 3.3V?

The nature of your question suggests that you are trying to convert 18VDC down to 3.3VDC Perhaps to power a microprocessor running at that voltage. If you just used a simple divider circuit then there would be two resistors involved, not just one. You cannot "take" 18VDC down to 3.3VDC with a single resistor. You could limit current but not "divide" the voltage down. Really a divider circuit is not the best way to do this either because you probably want to draw at least some current at the 3.3V level. A simple divider circuit voltage would be dependent on the load.. So... I would recommend either a switching or a linear regulator (non switching, and not very efficient). There are a bunch of DC-DC switching regulators that would do the job nicely... I like the ST Micro L5981. It will output up to about an amp at 3.3V and work from 2.9V to 18VDC input. You can find the datasheet at

http://www.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/13004.pdf

Oh, and I'm not pushing the STMicro solution, there are many other good regulators available from Analog Devices, Linear Tech, as well as TI, and National... So Google a bit and you will discover many things for yourself...

Difference between Nor and Nand gate flip flops?

NAND is Not AND, meaning that if both inputs are true, the output is false.

Any other combination (Including 0 0) does not change the output and it remains true. It's the opposite of AND, in which both inputs must be true for the output to be true.

NOR is Not OR. If at least one input is true, the output will be false.

It's the opposite of OR, where the output is true if at least one input is true.

The main difference is that NOR requires at least oneinput being true to make the output false, where NAND requires both to be true.

What is a non polarized capacitor?

A polarized capacitor is one which has a polarity, positive on one terminal, negative on the other. This makes it superficially look like a battery. In use, the capacitor has its positive voltage always higher than that on the negative terminal, it matters that this is the case and this gives rise to the term polarized. This sort of capacitor is commonly found in power supply filters.
