What is the peak-to-peak voltage in a circuit with an rms voltage of 120VAC?
ANSWER: The peak to peak voltage can be found by multiplying 120 v AC x 2.82= 339.41
What are the parts of a full wave rectifier?
There are two basic types of full-wave rectifier. The older type consists of two rectifier diodes,(diodes). The two anodes are strapped together giving the +ve ouyput;the two cathodes are connected to opposite sides of the transformer secondary. This arrangement has the advantage of needing only two diodes, but the disadvantage of needing a centre-tapped secondary on the transformer which provides the -ve output. The newer type is a bridge rectifier. It consists of four diodes in a ring configuration. diode 1 has its anode connected to the +ve out and cathode to side a of transformer. diode 2 has its anode connected to the +ve out and cathode to side b of transformer. diode 3 has anode to side a and cathode to -ve out. diode 4 has anode to side b and cathode to -ve out. This arrangement has the advantage of not needing a centre tap on transformer secondary. The disadvantage of needing four diodes instead of two is moot nowadays because solid-state diodes are very low cost.

What converts light signals into digitally formatted electrical signals?
To convert light signals into digitally formatted electrical signals requires a device called a camera.
Also, an optical fiber digital converter in the course of fiber optics. For electrical power transmission, photovoltaic cells convert light into power.
How do you find resistance in a parallel circuit?
resistance inparallel decrease in value proportionally two resistance can be calculated as R1XR2/SUM OF R1+R2. many values can be calculated as a fraction 1/r+1/r2+1/3 ....and take the total sum reciprocal
Can a car battery charger be used on a motorcycle?
Yes and no. If you use a jumping unit, most have a setting that should match your cycle's battery voltage and limit current. You can jump one cycle's battery with another cycle's battery provided they are the same voltage and a rechargable-friendly (for example lead-acid) chemistry.
What are the Principle of operation of the Gunn diode?
by using a suitable diagram, explain the one of the operation in microwave energy sources except Guinn Diode.
What will happen to the output ac signal if the dc level is insufficient?

Within a CPU a transistor act as?
In a microprocessor, field-effect transistors behave as electrically-controlled switches.
Why self bias is not suitable for enhancment type mosfet?
With the E-MOSFET, VGS has to be, 'greater than VGS(th) to get any drain current at all. Therefore, when E-MOSFETs are biased, self-bias, current-source bias, and zero bias cannot be used because these forms of bias depend on the depletion mode of operation. This leaves gate bias, voltage-divider bias, and source bias as the means for biasing E-MOSFETs.
Any application that lets you save and retrieve a file. My best guess is that you are looking for database as an answer.
What is Vrms of half wave rectifier?
RMS means root mean square of a sinusoidal wave form and the number that describe it is .741 of the peak average is ,639 of the peak
Can you turn your analog police scanner digital with a converter box?
No, a television converter box will not work on a police radio scanner. There is currently no way to make this conversion. One cost-effective method of listening to digital police, fire and other communications without purchasing a digital police scanner is through the download and installation of a free smartphone application which receives digital transmissions. There are many available for both Android and iPhone.
There are many common moisture & water detectors readily available. They work like this: 2 conductors are placed close together but aren't touching. When water (which is electrically conductive, but not as conductive as most people think) contacts the conductors, the circuit is completed, and whatever is designed to happen next, happens. It could be an alarm, light, or a signal to an overall supervisory system such as in a factory basement, or tunnel.
What is use of cathode ray tube?
Carthode-ray tube, in short term known as CRT's are used as picture tubes in television receivers and as visual display screens in radar-receiving equipment, computer installation and oscilloscopes.
What is the name of a variable resistor with 3 terminals?
It's called a 'variable resistor'. However, it can function as a 'rheostat' (to control current) when two terminals are connected, or as a 'potentiometer' (to control voltage) when three terminals are connected. The terms, 'rheostat' and 'potentiometer' do not describe the device itself, but how it is being used.
What is a clap switch circuit?
A circuited switch, which operates with sound of clapping hands or something similar; ie. the switch comes to 'on' position when clapped once or twice, and to 'off' position when again clapped once or twice (depends on circuit design)
What do you use to measure electricity?
In an electrical circuit there is a flow of electrons. The flow is induced by the creation at a production station, battery, or other supply of an "Electromotive Force (E)". The size of the electromotive force is measured in "Volts". The rate of flow of the electrons through the circuit is called the "Current (I)". Current is measured in "Amperes". The typical conductor for transporting electrons through a circuit is wire and the smaller the diameter of the wire the more the "Resistance(R)" to the flow; the larger the diameter, the less the resistance. Resistance is measured in OHMS. Definitions of volt, ampere, and ohm: 1 volt: Electromotive force required to send a current of 1 ampere through a system in which the resistance measures 1 ohm. 1 ampere: Rate of flow of electrons in a system in which the electromotive force is 1 volt and the resistance, 1 ohm. 1 ohm: Resistance offered by a system in which the electromotive force is 1 volt and the current, 1 ampere.

What are the applications of autotransformer?
Power transformers may be step-up or step-down. Distribution transformers are step-down. Isolation transformers are 1:1 ration transformers. Matching transformers are used in electronic circuits for impedence matching purposes. Instrument transformers are used to measure high-voltage voltages and currents or to operate protective systems.
What is the advantage to Serial Transmission?
Only one bit is being sent at a time, so your data bus can be as small as a single trace/wire. However, on the flip side, your data is only being sent one bit at a time, leading to slower transmission, as well more complicated timing of signals.
What is the function of the tolerance band on a fixed resistor?
A: Not all application need close tolerance of values some application only need 5% and some 10% so the band is there to specify the -/+ % tolerance that the part is in compliance with. Designers decide what parts % is needed for proper performance of the circuit.
Electric current changes direction repeatedly is called?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
A zero-ohm resistor does not exist, so we are talking about an ideal resistor. An ideal resistor is needed for description in a circuit, where we lump all wire/parasitic resistances into discrete resistors, but the wire joining two discrete resistors is considered to have no resistance.
My definition: a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that does not consume energy when a current exists in the resistor. Alternatively, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that cannot sustain any potential drop when a current is on. Thirdly, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that will conduct an infinite current when a voltage is applied across it.

Basics of Communication
Duality
Examples of Source coding
CCITT standards → speech(telephony), audio(CD, DAT, MD, DCC, DVD, DAB, MPEG, MP3), still images(JPEG), moving images(MPEG).
Terms:
(InterProcess Communication) The exchange of data between one program and another either within the same computer or over a network. It implies a protocol that guarantees a response to a request. Examples are OS/2's Named Pipes, Windows' DDE, Novell's SPX and Macintosh's IAC.
Semaphore: A shared space for interprocess communications (IPC) controlled by "wake up" and "sleep" commands. The source process fills a queue and goes to sleep until the destination process uses the data and tells the source process to wake up.
