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.

Can you use a 9.6 volt charger to charge a 7.2 volt battery pack?

Check the internet to see if your charger will automatically step down to 7.2V (not likely if the charger is not the same brand as the battery). If it does not step down then it is possible but *** not recommended ***. Overvolting can cause nasty caustic leaking of toxic chemicals from the battery.

Why is it necessary to convert AC to DC?

There is no way to store AC voltages as such. A battery is a storage device so AC is converted to DC for storage. When AC fails the stored DC voltage is then changed back to AC through a device called an inverter. The inverter outputs a square waveform instead of a sinusoid waveform but most loads, such as a computer power supply that is connected to the UPS, can not tell the difference.

Why zener diode acts as a reference element in the voltage regulator circuit?

It has a very sharp reverse breakdown voltage curve and is not damaged by the reverse current, as some normal diodes might be.

Why a transistor is called with BC547?

A small signal NPN transistor used for general purpose audio amplifiers and switching.

Components for making a simple rain alarm?

Try a pair of 2n1613 NPN transistors arranged as a darlington pair, collectors common, and Q1e tied to Q2b. input is on Q1b, output from + to the collectors. Ckt has hi input Z, and the slight conductive nature of rain water from + to Q1base will forward bias the switch.

Lo tech- a bargan basement smoke alarm- bridge the test contacts with a wet finger and it should go off. If that works, just solder wires and run them outside close together on a board to detect rain.

Does England use ac or dc for power outlets?

Like most other countries, you will find that in England we use voltages ranging from almost zero to a few tens of kV, depending on the application. ;)

However, assuming you mean the voltage supplied by 3-pin 13A mains sockets (type G) then from 1 January 2004 the mains supply should be 230V (-6%, +10%), 50 Hz (±1%). ie a range of 216.2 - 253V. This replaced the UK's former specification which was 240V ±6% (ie a range of 225.6 - 254.4V). Some "shaver sockets", similar to round 2-pin sockets (type C) found in mainland Europe, will supply 110 V, but be careful since they often have a dual mode 110V/240V.

What supply voltage does a computer need?

It all depends on the machine PSU(Power Supply Unit), usually 80v-150v or as I have constructed before a 20v computer so it's the same as saying 'How long is a piece of string?'-

The Computer power supply takes in the 120-240 volts coming from the A/C outlet and reduces it to 18 volts D.C. to run the System board and peripheral's in the case, i.e. DVD ROM, CD ROM, HDD, Graphics card and CPU fan. Your monitor as well runs on 18 V.D.C. which is again reduced from the 120 - 240 volts A.C. through the power block, (transformer).

What is zero crossing?

Zero crossing is commonly used in mathematics and electronics. Its when the mathematical function changes represented by crossing at an axis.

Is electrical engineering is equivalent to electronic engineering?

Actually electrical engineering comprises all the subjects basics like electronic,

management, mechanical,computer based subjects through this we can learn all the subjects basics clearly and it is more useful for higher education. the very main advantage of picking electrical engineering is we can able to study any subjects related to research or industrial oriented or business oriented etc.., in our PG. electrical engineering subject is also one of the toughest one in engg stream, if we pick electronic engg we go only by communication or electronic side so my answer is electrical has the upper hand than the electronic engg

Source of leakage current in transistor?

* basic physics -- a voltage applied across a junction or an insulator will produce some current, no matter how small. No perfect insulator exists in electronics.

* defects in manufacturers -- undesirable elements in a junction or an insulator, introduced during manufacturing and stay, will affect the normal current-voltage behavior

* unintended usage -- the voltage or current applied to an electronic component has gone beyond its spec

* damage -- the electronic component has suffered permanent damage due to excessive usage, abuse, or electrostatic discharge.

What is commutator in digital communication?

It is a college where many usually MOST people don't live on dorms at the college but rather live with their parents and drive to school every day.

How evaporator in a refrigerator is made?

Most likely made by a robot machine. IE: more better it is maybe 30 feet of small copper or aluminum tubing wound in a back and forth coil pattern to fit the required area in the freezer. Metal fins may be attached to help move the cold into the freezer as air is blown over the coil.

What is What is the difference between conductor and inductor?

A conductor is that one which allows the flow of electric current through it. An inductor is also a conductor but in the form of a coil used in varying current circuits. An inductor's role is not to conduct electricity; it is used in alternating current circuits and control it without much power loss. it is based on self induction.

Why photodiode is reverse biased?

In a photo-diode when light is incident, the fractional increase in the majority carriers is much less than the fractional increase in the minority carriers. Consequently, the fractional change due to the photo-effects on the minority carrier dominated reverse bias current is more easily measurable than the fractional change due to the photo-effects on the majority carrier dominated forward bias current. Hence, photo-diodes are preferred to be used in the reverse bias condition to easily observe the variation of current with intensity.

Will 8 ohm speaker work with 4 ohm bass guitar amplifier?

Yes. As long as the speaker impedance is higher than the minimum rating for the amplifier, you are OK.

Application of room noise detector?

A room noise detector could serve as a burglar alarm during the night and when away from home, of course, if no noisy dogs or other pets. It could serve as a child protection device, near a door to the outside of the home or near a swimming pool gate to alert the adults of he child's presence near the pool, or a road with traffic.

Titanium dioxide is direct band gap or indirect band gap material?

Yes it is. Most Sn (tin) materials as semiconductors are direct band gap materials. Silicon on the other hand is an indirect band gap material.

What is the secondary rating of a 50KVA transformer?

The secondary current is determined by the load, not by the transformer. For example, if the secondary voltage is 50 V and the load is 100 ohms, then the secondary current will be 0.5 A. If the load is 25 ohms, then the secondary current will be 2 A. It is important that a continuous secondary current doesn't exceed the rated secondary current of the transformer.

Why depletion region in pn junction is called depletion region?

because charge carriers are depleted there, some electrons from n side have fallen into holes on p side reducing/depleting carriers on both sides.
