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.

Why diode is used in rectifiers?

A Diode is a device which allows current to flow only in one direction (see forward bias).

Since a rectifier needs to convert Alternating current(bi-directional) into Direct current(uni-directional), solid-state diodes are usually used as rectifiers.

A 24v dc motor reads 10 meg-ohms between one of the power terminals and the case of the motor what should be the reading?

That sounds quite good since the main winding should be insulated from the case. 10Mohm is a very large resistance it is well within normal range of the motor.

What is a hydroelectric plant?

Hydroelectric plants use moving or falling water to turn a generator and produce electricity. They usually have generators located at the base of a dam, and they raise the level of water behind the structure. The higher the water level behind the dam, the more potential energy it has. And by releasing water, the potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy to turn the turbines which turn the generators. The height of the water is called the head of water. Hoover and Grand Coulee Dams are very high, and have a lot of head. Lest you think dams like those are the only dams producing electricity, you should be aware that there are many low head hydros around the country. There are 8 or 9 in Michigan, which is not generally associated with hydroelectric power production. There are a number of others around, too. Long ago, the waterwheel harnessed the power of moving or falling water to provide mechanical energy to turn mill stones or power other machines. As our technology evolved, we extended the idea to make it what it is today. And in the present, we see most big hydroelectric plants in the U.S. located in the west. (Niagra is a bit of an exception.) It's because the geography out west includes the high elevations as well as the water to make dam construction (with the associated hydroelectric plant) possible.

Which part of a circuit is a current?

Current is the flow of electric charge or the rate of the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.

What is meant by non constant envelope modulation?

A constant-envelope modualtion is a modualtion scheme in which the amplitude of the modualted tone remains constant with time. Main advantage of such modualtion schmes is that they relax the linearity requirements of the power amplifier (PA) and hence a less linear and more efficient PA can be used.

Most modualtion schemes are not constant-envelope. For example, BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM are not constant-envelope. Few modualtion schemes such as GFSK are constant-envelope.

What is Volt.DIV on the oscilloscope?

this referrs to the scale of measurement across the y axis ; in this case being the amplitude of a signal measure. this details how many volts are set per 1 division; usually 1 cm height, hence setting the control dial to 1 volt per division, will set the scale at 1 volt per cm. setting the dial at 0.1 volt per division will set the scale at 0.1 volt per cm division.

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 undamped oscillation?

Oscillations (vibrations) are damped when they are changed by some action. For example, touching an oscillating (vibrating) tuning fork with your finger is said to be damping it. The oscillation (number of Hertz) of an electrical oscillator, such as a TV tuner, is changed by varying the settings of the tuner.

Which computer components must a technician never try to work on when wearing an antistatic wrist strap?

any circuity in a computer shouldn't be handled without a esd(electro-static-discharge) wrap as a safety precaution to prevent damage to components, although there maybe some components which are not sensitive to static. the main parts of the computer which definitely shouldn't be handled without esd wrist straps are high impedance components such as the cpu,gpu or any other flash chips or microprocessors.

What is organizational decoupling?

Means to un-hitch or un-attach.

In economics, it is a theory that when Latin America countries detach from depending on the US, they would be more insulated from recession.

As an organizational theory, decoupling is when an organization keeps gaps between their formal policies and their actual organizational practices. In many places, like school handbooks and the TOS/TOU guidelines on websites, one thing is said, but their practices indicate something else. That can get someone in trouble when laxity on one site is expected on another and they find it isn't there. Recoupling would be when that sort of situation exists and they try to end it. Carrying the web example further, some sites that have a gap between their user agreements and enforcement will either enforce their guidelines or change them.

In electronics, decoupling is a way to attach multiple circuits to the same power supply or to isolate circuits from each other. Usually, bypass capacitors are added.

What is the purpose of the capacitors at the input and output signals?

There are two primary uses of a capacitor in the biasing of a transistor.

One is to isolate the DC component of the input or output signal from the input or output of the transistor. This is often done in audio applications where the input signal is centered around ground reference, but the base is biased at 0.7 volts. Similarly, the collector is biased away from ground, but the signal needs to be shifted back to ground reference.

The second is to change the gain as a function of frequency. Depending on where the capacitor is located in the circuit, the capacitative reactance as a function of frequency can add to or subtract from the bias point and/or gain of the circuit. Usually, this capacitor would be located on output side, along with the emitter or collector resistors.

Can electricity pass through plastic?

For the flow of Electric Current, the material must contain free electrons.

If there are no free electrons, then to conduct electricity the applied voltage must exceed breakdown voltage.

Plastics under ordinary state does not have free electrons but if high voltage is applied then it can start conducting.

Sampling frequency doubles then quantization noise?

quantisation noise decrease and quantization density remain same.

If you have 2 5-watt bulbs connected in series and then in parallel which circuit arrangement will give you brighter bulbs?

It depends on the voltage rating of each lamp, and the value of the supply voltage. It's important to understand that a lamp will only operate at its rated power (therefore at its full brightness) when subject to its rated voltage.

So, let's assume each lamp is rated at, say, 24 V.

If connected in parallel across a 24-V supply, then they will both operate of full brightness.

If connected in series across the same 24-V supply, then each lamp will be subject to half its rated voltage, and will be very dim.

On the other hand, if connected in series across a 48-V supply, then they will each be subject to 24 V, and will both operate at full brightness.

How do you calculate DC link capacitors?

Its a very difficult subject to which most of my fellow designers estimate the ripple current in the caps and then select capacitors that can handle that current. The idea of voltage droop om most DC links can be forgotten because of other compensators such as a lower BEMF motor. The problem is to get as much life out of the caps as you can and that's to keep them cool as you can. Assume that every amp delivered from the DC like is an amp of ripple current and you should be OK.

What are the adverse effects of poor power factor?

Low power factor means higher than necessary load currents. These require unnecessary expenditure on the amount of copper in supply equipment such as cables, transformers, and switchgear. Higher than necessary load currents also mean greater voltage drops and poorer voltage regulation.

What four factors determine the amount of resistance in a circuit?

Material that makes up the wire, length of wire, diameter of wire, and temperature of wire

What is the voltage of house current is it 208 v?

208 v three-phase supplies are an option for American properties, because the line to neutral voltage is 120 v.

How does a dynamo flashlight work?

A dynamo flashlight works by producing its own electricity. The flashlight has a crank that is turned by the operator. The crank runs a small generator inside that produces enough electric to run the flashlight.
