Is voltage drop means lost of voltage?

Voltage drop means reduction of voltage.

Additional Answer

According to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, the sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop within a circuit must equal the value of the supply voltage. So, no, a voltage drop is not a 'lost' voltage, as the circuit's supply voltage is accounted for when you add up all the voltage drops (including any internal voltage drop within the source itself).

What the function of time base in an oscilloscope?

The time base of an oscilloscope is used to increase or decrease the time per division value on the Y-axis ranging from few tens of seconds to micro seconds to nanoseconds used for microwave signals.If you increase the time base of an oscilloscope lesser and lesser part of the signal will be present in one division of the Y-axis. Setting the time base to a proper value will enable you to see high frequency signals clearly otherwise each cycle of the signal would be indistinguishable from the other huehue

Why is a resistor used to operate an LED?

To calculate the current through an LED, use the following formula

Current = (Source_voltage - Led_voltage_drop)/Resistance

Now if you didn't use a resistor, the you only have the resistance in the wire, which is very small (eg .001 ohm).

So if you have for instance a 9V battery, and a 2.1 volt drop across the LED, the resultant current would be so high, it would destroy the LED.

We put a resistor in to lower the current to an acceptable range (often 20-30ma)

Can you charge a car battery with a motorcycle battery charger?

Unless it's an old vw bug, cars usually run on a 12 volt dc system nowadays.

Motorcycles often run on a 6 volt dc system.

Different systems require different charging voltages so you won't ever be able to charge a 12 volt car battery from a 6 volt motorcycle battery charger as the output voltage would be way too low.

However, if you can set the battery charger's output to give either a 6 or a 12 volt output, then you must always remember to set it to 12 volts if you want to use it to charge a 12 volt car battery.

Can you replace a transformer with an input rating of 120VAC 60Hz 12W and output rating of 12vdc 500mA with one that has an input rating of 120vac 60hz 25w and an output rating of 12VDC 1A?

Yes, you can. Here's why.

If a supply's output is rated at 12 volts DC (12 VDC) and 500 milliamperes (500mA), it can deliver a maximum of 500mA at the 12 volt rating. You want to use a 12VDC supply that is rated at 1A (1000mA). That means that the supply is capable of delivering up to 1A at 12VDC. Now the crux of the matter.

Your device, that's the load on the supply, needs 12VDC to operate. Your replacement supply is rated at 12VDC. No problem. Your supply delivered a max of 500mA. That does NOT mean that your load, that thing you're powering up, actually uses all 500mA. Your load knows how much current it needs to draw. Your supply has to be rated for more than that. Your supply was rated at 500mA. It worked well. The supply you wish to use will deliver a max of 1A (1000mA). It will easily supply the current your load will use. Oh, and the polarity of the new supply must be the same as that of the old one. That's pretty obvious. Always be safe and consult an electronics specialist for electrical questions. There are a number of savvy folks working at consumer electrical outlets who can get you up to speed.

What are the applications of gray code?

Gray code is useful because only one bit changes at a time. When used as encoders for a position sensor, for instance, if the sensor were right at the edge of a change boundary, there is uncertainty as to position. Binary code would introduce variable uncertainty in position, because more than one bit can change at a time, but gray code would reduce that uncertainty to being only one bit position in size.

Who discovered Resistor?

Resistance, and therefore resistors, are a part of any electrical conductor. They were not created but rather, discovered and put to use in electrical and electronic circuits.

What is depletion region in a diode?

As we bring P type and N type semiconductors fused together, then rich holes in P type would get neutralized with some rich electrons in N type. Hence at the juntion region, there will not be charge carriers ie holes and electrons. So it is known as Depletion Region. Depletion means emptying something. In case of ordinary diode this depletion region would be wider where as in case of Zener Diode the depletion region would be narrower. This is because the semiconductors are heavily doped. Hence potential barrier would be easily built up even with a thin region where holes and electrons get combined for neutrelization.

What is the difference between voltage series and current series feedback amplifier?

I assume a series of amplifiers with one F/B The F/B is the portion of voltage/current F/B from input to output no matter how many amplifiers are in series within the loop or what the gain of each one is.

Is battery is inductive or capacitive load?

A battery is usually thought of as a source, not a load. If you are charging a battery, then it will be resistive, especially if you are attempting to charge it like you should, with a DC power supply (not AC).

What is uses of digital multimeter?

A digital multimeter is a instrument which is used to measure voltage, current, resistance also it can measures frequency and periodic waveforms. It manly used as test equipement, for example if you had created a circuit you can use it to see if there a fault so then it can be corrected.

Digital meters tend to be more accurate, as they have a very high input impedance, so have less affect on the circuit being measured.

Having a digital output gets round the parallax problem reading a needle.

Having no moving parts, makes them more rugged and less likely to get out of calibration.

The only downside of a digital meter is its harder to see a fluctuating measurement. Watching a needle is better in this case, than watch numbers change.

When using Ohms law to determine voltage what formula would be used?

........V

I = ------

........R

I = Ohm's Law

V = Voltage

R = Resistance

(Ignore the dots they stop V and R from moving to the left!)

Can you use an AC adaptor - 6v dc 1300 ma to replace AC adaptor - 6 v DC 800 ma?

Yes you can. All the 1300 mA rating means is that adaptor can supply devices up to 1300 mA. The old adaptor's limit was 800 mA. The new adapter has 500 mA more in reserve if it is ever needed.

What happens when you have a 4 ohm and a 2 ohm sub hooked up to an amplifier?

Yes, you can wire a 6 ohm sub with a 4 ohm sub to the same amplifier, but you need to verify that the amplifier can handle the resulting impedance of 2.4 ohms - many cannot, and could be destroyed. Also, realize that the power in the 4 ohm sub will be greater than the power in the 6 ohm sub.

State the various methods of coupling of transister amplifier?

Biasing the transistor so that it remains into the linear range is one way the other way is to couple one stage to another via a capacitor to remove extra biasing DC voltage therefore remaining into the linear range

What is the difference between rms value and average value of AC?

rms value of ac power = dc power in reference to heat production in pure resistive load

So ac power of some rms value will produce the same heat in resistive load as dc power will of same value

What are the advantages and disadvantages of double sideband suppressed carrier modulation?

Amplitude modulation of a carrier results in a transmitted signal consisting of the carrier, plus an 'upper sideband' and a 'lower sideband', spaced above and below the carrier frequency by the frequency of the modulation.

The bandwidth of the whole signal is double the modulation frequency. Also, the power in the carrier is constant, and power must be added in order to radiate the sidebands.

All the receiver needs in order to extract the information from the signal is one complete sideband, and knowledge of the frequency and phase of the carrier. Economically speaking, the carrier is wasted power, and the other sideband is wasted power andwasted spectrum.

If you can filter away one of the sidebands before transmission, then you save half of the occupied spectrum, and the receiver has everything it needs to decode the signal. If you can also filter away the carrier ... or at least knock it way down ... before transmission, you can save a lot of power and use it for the remaining sideband, which extends your range for a given amount of power. The receiver still has everything it needs, as long as it can pick up a sniff of carrier ... enough to derive the carrier frequency and phase.

This mode is known as "Single Sideband Suppressed Carrier". It's exactly how the video portion of standard NTSC analog TV was transmitted, throughout all of human history until June 2009.

What is the relationship between current and frequency in AC circuit?

Two words: skin effect. Now let's chat. Picture a wire with DC flowing through it. We are going to look at a cross section of the wire without interrupting current flow. Make sense? Picture it. When current flows in a wire in only one direction (DC), it uses all the available metal in the wire. Current flow in the middle of the wire will be about the same per unit of cross sectional area as current flow will be near the outside of the wire. Let's switch our DC for some AC. AC (alternating current) will flow in one direction for a while and then reverse direction to flow the other way for a while. Such is AC. And AC will cause current flow that uses all the available cross sectional area of the wire just as DC does, but only at low frequency. At higher and higher frequencies, current flow in the wire will shift away from the center and be more concentrated near the surface of the conductor. Near the skin of the conductor. AC of higher frequencies will promote current flow by skin effect, and that is the effect of frequency in AC current flow.

Is a miliohm 1000 ohms?

No, a miliohm is 0.001 ohms. A kiloohm is 1000 ohms.

What type of oscillator has got frequency stability?

A: desirable oscillator will have no frequency deviation as a function of external influences such as temperature and more. Stability is measured as a % factor considering outside interferences

What should be the insulation resistance in a electrical circuit?

As we know thath insulators are the materials which are mainly use to insulate any conducting body from the LIVE supply whether 3Ph or single phase, so the reristence of such an insulator should be infinity as it should be provide maximum resistance to the flow of current through it.

When should you not wear a wrist strap?

You should always where a ground strip when working on the internals of a computer. You should always unplug the computer from everything before working on it and ground yourself to the computers metal case. This will equalize the static electricity between you and the mother board and her components.

How do you build a power tube amplifier with out bias?

You cannot build a power tube amplifier without bias. At minimum, you need some kind of negative bias on the control grid, and you might need positive bias on the screen grid as well as cathode voltage on the suppressor grid.
