Electronics Engineering

Electronics Engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with practical applications of electronic components, devices, systems, or equipment. Electronics are devices that operate on low voltage sources, as in electron tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, and printed circuit boards and use electricity as part of its driving force.

What is the function of the NOT logic gate?

The NOT gate is also called an "inverter", as its output is always the complement of the input. That is, if the input is TRUE then the output is FALSE else the output is TRUE end if). Its implementation electronically is not much different than that of an analog inverting amplifier, except that the gate is deliberately designed to operate nonlinear and change rapidly from one state to another.

Can a diode work in ac?

A diode is a "one-way valve" that allows electrical current to flow in only one direction. A diode placed in series between an AC voltage source and a resistive load will allow current to flow through the load in one direction and block the current when the polarity of the AC voltage changes.

What are the disadvantages of using coaxial cable?

scattering, costs high than wireless communication, difficult to maintain,splicing should be perfectly taken care ,otherwise the loses increases in the optic fibres

Why transistor cannot be used as rectifier?

By connecting collector to base, you get a *lower* forward voltage drop than with a simple diode.

Example: germanium diode-connected transistor has a drop of about 0.13 volts, rectifier diode about 0.3 (over 2.5 times)

It's just that rectifiers are optimised for rectification, are designed to work at (generally) higher currents, and are cheaper.

What is the cut in voltage of germanium and silicon diodes?

cut in voltage *** for silicon is 0.7volts and that for germanium is 0.3volts.

According to Millman and Taub, "Pulse, Digital and Switching Waveforms", McGraw-Hill 1965, the cutin (or offset, break-point or threshold) voltage for a silicon diode is 0.6, and 0.2 for germanium.

Breakdown voltage is another thing entirely. It is the reverse voltage at which the junction will break down.

Given a channel with intended capacity of 100Mbps the bandwidth of the channel is 20 MHz What signal to noise ratio is required to achieve this capacity?

Using the Shanon Capacity formula,

C = B log2 (1+ SNR)

Where B = 20 X 106 Hz

In order to calculate C (channel capacity) one must be mindful that 1Kbps = 1024 bps, NOT 1000 bps. Having this in mind,

C = 100 X 1.024 * 106 bps = 1.024 * 108

Substituting C, B, and solving for SNR:

1.024 * 108 = 20* 106 * log2 (1+SNR)

1.024 * 102 = 20 * log2 (1+SNR)

5.12 = log2 (1+SNR)

25.12 = 1 + SNR

2 5.12 - 1= SNR

SNR = 33.8

if in decibels = 10 log (33.8) = 15.29 dB

Why aren't laser beams used for deep space communications?

For one thing, lasers need a significant amount of power. And like any optical-based communication medium (like LiFi or IR), it's only effective if you point it at the recipient and if the recipient is facing you - whereas electromagnetic radio wave technology no matter where you are or where you're facing you will still get the signal.

What is the circuit symbol for a bulb?

The symbol for a relay is in two parts, and it's rather difficult and ineffective to describe verbally. Therefore, I added a direct link to an image of the accepted symbol to the "Related Links" section.

How do you calculate fringing capacitance?

The best way is to use an EM solver, such as FastCap from MIT. Numerous published papers also describe the best-fit formulae to calculate fringing capacitances by hand. Try reading "Modeling of interconnect capacitance, delay , and crosstalk in VLSI," by Wong et al., IEEE Trans. Semi. Manufacturing, v13, n1, February 2000, pp108, and the references therein.

What is the measurement of a car's power?

A motor vehicle's power is measured traditionally in horsepower or BHP as in Break Horse Power eg. the porshe carrera's engine output is 400BHP.This is not a fact but merely hypothetical since I do not no the actual BHP of a Porsche carrera. I Hope this has answered anyone's curiosty.

What is JFET?

JFET = junction field-effect transistor. The transistor design is to restrict/control the current in the channel by expanding or contracting the depletion region, hence the channel cross-section, with a gate signal. The gate is the junction in JFET, compared with using oxide in an MOSFET.

A transformer has 520 turns in its secondary coil and a secondary output voltage of 480 volts The primary coil has 40 turns What is the primary voltage?

36.9 volts

Explanation:

A trafo works in ratios, much the same as percentage. Easily calculated in this question .

520 turns and 480 Volts secondary.

We find the Voltage of each turn by dividing Voltage by turns. 480/520=0,9230769231 Volt.

Then multiply this by primary turns of which is 40. 40*0,9230769231

=36,9230769231 Volts.

This is the AC voltage. In order to find a quite accurate estimate for a rectified DC output with a charging capacitor, simply multiply the AC voltage by 1.44

What is a material in which electrons do not easily flow?

An insulator is a material through which electrons do not easily flow. Insulators have a very high resistance.

Answer

Insulators behave in the way they do because they contain insufficient numbers of charge curriers to support conduction. It has nothing to do with electrons being 'unable to flow easily'!

What is hystersis of instrument?

Generally, it will be considered the "interval" between action and response. For example, if a radio transceiver operates at 800 MHz, it may receive at 800 MHz +/- 0.005 MHz and transmit at 801 MHz. The interval is the hysteresis. Looking at a pH meter during an acid-base titration. As you add buffer or your titre, you don't see an immediate response. The "lag-time" of the addition of buffer could also be considered the hysteresis for that instrument in that system. An instrument any instrument will have an ambiguity of resolution at the low end it cannot display half a value it is either this or that decision therefore hysteresis

What converts an alternating current to diredt current?

Alternating Current can be converted to Direct Current by using a DC Converter which contain a Bridge Circuit , a Capacitor and if needed a Transformer.

Comment

A 'DC converter' is normally called a rectifier.

Difference between channel and bandwidth?

a channel is actually a path through which a signal of a particular frequency travels and bandwidth is the capacity of that path it tells about the number or range of frequencies which a path can carry

The mathematical relationship between current voltage and resistance is known as?

Ohm's Law

Answer

It's not known as anything; it's simply an equation. Ohm's Law describes constant proportionality between current and voltage for certain, but not all, materials (linear or ohmic) -it has nothing to do with this equation.

What is the difference between analogue and digital system?

the main difference in analoge and digital system is analog is continues type of data and ditital is discreate type of data. e.g old galvanometer having needle is analog but new multimeter is digital in which voltage and current is shown in digits... analog is not much accurate..but digital is accurate...

When a multimeter is set to measure resistance what reading would you expect when the probes aren't touching?

If the test leads are not in contact with anything, the needle or pointer of an analog meter will be resting at the left most position. This is represents an infinite amount of resistance, or an "open circuit"; it is also safe to say there is the no continuity, or path between the black and red probes.
