How many different electric circuits are there?
There are an infinite number of possible combinations to create an electric circuit.
It will simply not be possible to answer it correctly due to lack of information from absolutely all the developers around the world.
Even by limiting an answer to smaller circuits, this question is a challenge.
Even the simple light bulb is an electric circuit. How many different bulbs don't we find around the world these days? We have fluorescent bulbs, low voltage bulbs, high voltage bulbs, metal halide bulbs, halogen bulbs, this most likely in the thousands of different varieties from different manufacturers.
I would simply count on many many millions of different electric circuits. A lot of which would be similar work-wise, but still different maybe only by color.
This is only an educated guess that is in the area of many million's+ and then some.
By combining parts in order to make other circuits, the number grows unfathomable large pretty soon. The question only asks about what have been mad. Not what can be made. By this, we know the number can not be infinite, but we know the number to be large.
Each house around the world is an individual electric circuit. Each being different, however some more than others. We are 5 Billion people on this planet of ours. If there are 5 people in each house, then there must be 1 Billion houses with each a slightly different electrical circuit.
What substances are put in to make doped silicon?
First you must obtain ultra ultra pure silicon.
Then you contaminate it a very precisely controlled manner with very tiny amounts of other carefully selected elements that will produce the desired changes to its electrical properties.
There are many means to produce this controlled contamination that is called doping:
What happens if your smoke detectors goes off but there's no smoke?
This may because specs of dust can cause activation of the detector as it has the same effect as smoke. Spiders also can crawl into the sensors which does the same thing- same way with deodrant, paintfumes etc. It also may be because the smoke detector is just faulty.
Why resistance connected in parallel to current source?
A Discussion has been started about this question. Click on the View Discussion button below to take part in it.
The "type" of a source does not limit in what ways resistors can be connected to it. Resistors can be connected either in series or in parallel - or in a combination of series and parallel - across a voltage source.
Similarly, resistors can be connected either in series or in parallel - or in a combination of series and parallel - across a current source.
What happens to the power in the carrier after frequency modulation?
In FM the carrier is still present and the power is still there, at a constant amplitude at the transmitter. It's only the frequency of the carrier that alters, in time with the audio applied to it. The louder the sound the further the frequency shifts.
Why high frequency is used in communication than low frequency?
High frequency is used because of the the size of antennas used to transmit and receive the communications signal. The higher the frequency the smaller the antenna.
Explain why an amplified analog signal will have deteriorated compared with the origional signal?
Well, yes they do. Any amplification adds noise to the signal. Some of this can be removed but the effects are cumulative. Imagine making a copy of a piece of music by an analog technique. Then making a copy from that copy, etc. You get more and more noise added to the system, even when the amplification is one. In digital systems, the music (or whatever) is made of bits that are either there or not. Cleaning up the bits is very easy. Perfect copies are typical.
Why does the bypass capacitor decrease the input impedance in common emitter amplifier?
You would use a supply bypass capacitor in a common collector amplifier...
It's necessary, to give the positive supply rail a direct AC connection to ground. Without it, I don't think the amplifier would work properly. However, if you're using a power supply and not a battery, then chances are that it HAS a big capacitor inside it, eliminating the need for any external capacitor.
What is an example of electric current?
Here are a couple. Assuming everything is "normal" here, if you drop a bagel in the toaster and turn it on by pushing the lever down, the AC current the toaster uses (draws) will stabilize after a few seconds and stay constant. If you turn on your car's headlights, each lamp will draw a constant current from the DC source after a few seconds of "warm up" time. Those are examples of constant electric current.
Can you use a 4.2 volt charger for a 3 volt battery?
Thanks for your contribution and thoughts but you CAN use a 4.2 volt charger for a 3 volt battery.
Jyot
No. You should not use a 4.2V charger for a 3V battery. The charger is specifically designed for the battery. Attempting to use a non rated configuration, unless the charger states clearly on its label that it can handle the 4.2V battery, could result in overcharge, overheat, even fire.
Even attempting to place a resistor or zener diode in series with the battery is not a good idea, because some chargers use the voltage/time curve to sense when the battery is fully charged, and this will bias the results.
Which is better as a switch diode or transistor?
Basically a diode is a combinstion of pN junction but the transistor is made with three terminals EMITTER,, BASE ,, JUNCTION.. and diode is just a combination of positive and negative terminal . diode and transistors are both used as a switch .. but a transistor is more widly udes than a diode. and diode has also very important in electronics DIGITAL SYSTEM to make the screen's ..and transistors are used in amplifiers the group of transistors make an amplifier . and we use a diode in seven segment display ....diode is small and carry less current due to its small size but transistor get large current.
A2
A diode has two connections. It allows current to flow in one direction and not in the other. They are used for rectification in power supplies, detection of AM radio, blocking of current etc.
A Transistor has three connections. Current is controlled between the emitter and collector, by a small current on the base. They are used as switches, amplifiers and regulators.
How i can Convert the gray code 110111101 to binary code and design the circuit?
first decide the numbar of bits...for four bits write the varoiurs combination of each bit.
for 4 bits 2^4=16 combination starting from 0000-1111.
similarly you will get 4 bit gray code by ex-oring (u may find this conversion in any book digital book).
now draw k-map for each out put bit
binary gray
0000 0000
0001 0001
0010 0011
...... ......
....... ......
1111 0000
consider case for 0010 to 0011.
lsb will be g0(1) and msb will be g3.(0)
each bit should be considered as an output and k-map has to be drawn for each output,viz g0,g1,g2,g3.
after implementing this ,realise the output expression using gates.(k map will give simplified output).
this is basic operation...but if u plan to implement in an project try getting an ready made IC.
Can a circuit have almost any shape as long as it is a closed circuit?
A: Definitely NOT it must follow its linear load region a close loop of approaching infinity will certainly be inclined to be not stable
What is short circuit voltage?
Short circuit voltage is the voltage that has to be applied to the primaries of a transformer, so that the nominal current flows through the secondaries, when they are shorted. This value is important, if transformer secondaries shall be used in parallel. Ideally all transformers with parallel secondaries should have the same short circuit voltage. When their short circuit voltages are different, the transformer with the lower short circuit voltage will be loaded more than their relationship of power ratings would predict. The short circuit voltage is also important in the design of a transformer, because it predicts, how much the secondary voltage will drop at nominal output current. This knowledge helps the designer to find out, how many further windings the secondary needs for a certain voltage in relation to an ideal transformer. Short circuit voltage is also known as impedance voltage.
The load current is made to flow through the thermal overload relay, which is actually a bimetalic strip. Beyond a prespecified current the bimetalic strip tend to deflect due to heat (thermal effect) thus cutting off the circuit and hence it acts as an over load relay protection.
To determine how many flip-flops will be complemented in a 10-bit binary counter to go from the binary number 1001101111 (which is 635 in decimal) to the next count (1001110000, or 636 in decimal), we look at the binary representation. The least significant bit (LSB) changes from 1 to 0, and the next bit (the second LSB) changes from 1 to 0, leading to a carry that causes the third LSB to change from 1 to 0 as well. Thus, 3 flip-flops are complemented in total.
Difference between analog and digital control systems?
An analog control system is one that presents data by measuring a continuous variable. This reports the data back in voltage or pressure.
What is a purely resistive circuit?
It does not contain unidirectional output
AnswerA purely resistive circuit is an 'ideal' circuit that contains resistance, but not inductance or capacitance.
What happens to the applied voltage when a change in circuit resistance occurs?
When a dc supply is connected to a resistor, current flows.
The current in amps is equal to the supply voltage divided by the resistance in ohms.
The power used is the voltage times the current, and that appears as heat in the resistor, which might become hot to touch.

What are field effect transistors?
EMITTER, COLLECTOR, AND BASE
The difference between a Field Effect Transistor and a regular transistor is that the regular transistor has PNP and NPN junctions and a FET has just a Drain Source Gate
junction and is sensitive to static electricity just as not as bad as a MOSFET. Soldering
a FET requires technical skill than it does a regular transistor. Transistors are used in switching and audio applications while FET's are used in RF VHF and HF applications and switching on high current devices such as LED's and piezo buzzers.
So a one transistor radio using a PNP transistor does not mean you will pick up more stations you will just receive a weak audio voltage through the high impedance earphone from the simple diode circuit using a 9 volt battery. While FET's and MOSFET's will amplify the signal.
MOSFET's are for really high current devices that's why have heat sinks on top of them.
How can you do the polarity test of a switch?
A 'polarity test', as it applies to a switch, is performed to confirm that the switch is located in the line conductor and not in the neutral conductor.
The LM158 series consists of two independent, high gain, internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers which were designed specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages.
