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 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.

Why silicon crystal are suitable for making a diode?

Silicon is useful as a base to build electronic components on because it has all the valence electrons it wants (4). A diode is created by placing a an element with an "extra" valence electron near an element that wants an "extra" valence electron.

What is meant by basic electronics?

Electronic configuration is a term used in atomic physics and quantum chemistry. This is the manner in which electrons of a specific atom or molecule are distributed in an atomic or molecular orbital.

How does technology help us interact?

I believe the internet helps us communicate far better than we did 20years ago. An example of mine is where a friend is the other side of the world(Australia) and we communicate to her almost evreyday(via facebook,MSN and other messageing websites as such.

What are the advantages of Ac motors over dc motors?

Generally most A.C motors that most people see regularly have no commutator (though not all) ,so there is sometimes less mechanical frictional losses this can increase overall efficiency.

This usually means less parts to fail.

Some A.C motors require ¨start¨ and or ¨run¨ capacitors and may also require a start mechanism that will have frictional losses and add to the bits that could fail.

They also often have detrimental magnetic eddies which cause some losses, this is often due to economical stator or rotor construction.

A.C motors can have a very high power density as the magnetic flux is generated with an A.C current this can be higher than most conventional D.C. motors especially due to the high rate of change of current through the stator and rotor.

This is the very nature of the A.C current it is constantly changing.

D.C motors are often made using permanent magnets (again not always) so they can ¨get something for nothing¨ so to speak with an existing magnetic field. Energy does not have to be wasted to create one of the required magnetic fields to make the motor rotate.

D.C. motors can be made without permanent magnets too. Some of these motors can also have very high energy densities as the current can be made to change very rapidly either with the commutator or with special drivers.

There are very few hard and fast rules about A.C versus D.C in motors as both types have been extensively developed over many years.

The decision to use an AC or D.C motor usually come down to what is available to drive the motor in question.

Cars use D.C. as they have a D.C battery.

Washing machines and fridges use A.C as it is generally more efficient to send A.C over long distances to your home.

It is also currently far easier to convert A.C up and down through transformers etc, The transmission and distribution of D.C is far less efficient and more complex so this often dictates our choice rather than the motor type.

How much resistance will an ohmmeter indicate across a good capacitor?

because resistance is restricting the current and voltage, so for it be accurate you need to know what the voltage and the amps are.

Answer

Capacitance is quite independent of resistance and, therefore, it will NOT vary if resistance is changed.

What are the different forms of amplitude modulation?

There are many types of modulation. A few examples...

  • Amplitude
  • Frequency
  • Phase Shift
  • Modified Frequency (MFM)
  • Non Return to Zero Inverted (NRZI)
  • Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)

Why is voltmeter connected in parallel and ammeter connected in series in a circuit?

An ideal voltmeter has infinite impedance(resistance). If you were to break the circuit and put it in series and try to make a measurement, it is easy to see that the circuit would act completely differently and your measurement would be wrong. An ideal ammeter is always connected in series because it has 0 resistance, so all of the current would flow through it, and not through the wire that you are trying to measure the current of.

A better answer though is to think about what you are trying to measure. When you say something is 3 Volts, that is a difference between the voltages at two different points. If you want to see what the voltage drop across a resistor is, for example, you need to put one probe of the voltmeter on one side of the resistor and the other probe on the other side of the resistor. That setup is simply called being in parallel.
Voltage is potential difference between two points, hence measured across or in parallel, where as current is measured in series since current flows (*)

Why do you have to connect a resistor to collector of transistor?

Type your answer here... to properly bias the junction for current flow thru the transistor. The voltage potential must be different on the base than the collector
