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 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.

What does a digital meter do?

A multimeter is used to measure various parameters in an electrical circuit. It can be used to measure things like voltage, current, resistance, frequency, and more depending on the how advanced the meter is.

The digital aspect of the meter is easier to explain with respect to an analog meter. The old analog meters used built in analog circuits to detect the above parameters and display the measurement by moving a mechanical needle a certain distance based on the magnitude of the measurement. This distance could be correlated with the magnitude using formulae and a scale was printed on the face of the meter so you could tell what value the needle was pointing at.

Digital meters, however, take the analog signals and convert them to digital signals. These digital signals represent binary information that a micro-processor can read. The processor can be programmed to interpret the incoming data and then display in on the screen.

How do you check a bridge rectifier with an ohm meter?

by noticing the polarity of theohmmeter a diode can be checked for continuity and blocking ability However it will not tell you how good or bad the device itself is

BY keeping the multimeter in diode mode and keeping properly the positive and negative terminals of the multimeter. If the diode is good multimeter will show a reading of 0.5 else there will be a short.

Why capacitor oppose change in voltage and allows current to flow?

Because that is what a capacitor does, resist a change in voltage. It holds a certain amount of energy per charge (voltage), and to change that voltage requires current proportionally to the capacitance.

What happens to the total resistance of a series circuit when another resistor is added?

Simply put, the purpose of a resistor is to 'resist' the flow of current. Ohm's Law tells us that for a given voltage, the larger the resistance, or value of that resistor, the lower the current that will flow. Ohm's Law states that I (current) = E (voltage) / R (resistance)

- where current is measured in amps, voltage is measured in volts and resistance is measured in ohms.

What are three components needed for a circuit to work?

Three things that are needed to have an operating electrical circuit are:

1. Electric potential difference or voltage.

2. Conductive path, which allows the movement of charges such as wire.

3. Resistor, which acts as an electrical resistance and loosely defines any object that uses electricity to do work.

What is the threshold voltage of silicon and germanium?

In semiconductor uses, such as diodes and transistors, the forward voltage drop for Silicon (Si) is a little less than 0.7 volts, while the FVD for Germanium (Ge) is about 0.3 volts.

How does a pressure to current converter works?

An electrical circuit is an example of an electrical pressure to electrical current convertor.

What are the Advantages and disadvantages of half wave rectifier and full wave rectifier in terms of signals?

Advantages: Simple circuit and low cost.

(ii)Disadvantages:1. The output current in the load contains, in addition to dc component, ac components of basic frequency equal to that of the input voltage frequency. Ripple factor is high and an elaborate filtering is, therefore, required to give steady dc output.

(iii)2.The power output and, therefore, rectification efficiency is quite low. This is due to the fact that power is delivered only half the time.

(iv)3.Transformer utilization factor is low.

(v)4.DC saturation of transformer core resulting in magnetizing current and hysteresis losses and generation of harmonics.

The type of supply available from a half-wave rectifier is not satisfactory for general power supply.This type of supply can be satisfactory for some particular purposes such as battery charging.

What is the resistance of a short circuit in ohms called?

Your original question was in two parts:
1.) How many ohms in an open circuit? Infinite ohms (the meter will show no measurement).
2.) How many ohms in a short circuit? 0 ohms. There would be no measurable ohms as there would be no resistance in the altered circuit.

A transformer has primary voltage of 240v and a secondary voltage of 48v what is the turns ratio of this transformer?

The turns ratio of a transformer is directly proportional to the voltage.

To find the number of turns in the secondary, first calculate the voltage ratio.

24V/115V is a 1:0.2087, if we use this ratio to calculate the turns we get.

345 x 0.2087 = 72 turns.

Another idea to apply (which says the same thing) is that the ratio of the voltages will equal the turns ratio. Here's how that looks:

Voltageprimary / Voltagesecondary = Turnsprimary / Turnssecondary

or just

Vp / Vs = Tp / Ts

Plugging in the numbers will give us

115 volts / 24 volts = 345 turns / Ts , and 115/24 = 345/Ts , and 115 x Ts = 24 x 345 , and Ts = (24 x 345) / 115 , and Ts = 8780 / 115 = 72 turns.

What is the rms of square wave voltage?

This depends on the duty of the square wave - if it is 50%, then it will be 1/2 the peak. If it is 33.3%, then it will be 1/3 the peak.

Difference between analog simulator and digital simulator?

The big difference is inputs and outputs. Digital ICs expect high/low true/false inputs and outputs. Analog ICs take any inputs, and produce outputs of any level. For example, an audio amplifier is an analog IC. It takes an analog input (sound), and produces an analog output (louder sound). A ripple counter is an example of a digital IC. It takes a digital input (clock pulses), and produces a number of digital outputs (the digital outputs of the flip flops, collectively representing a number in binary).

How do you find cut off frequency for a frequency response?

Different methods for different circuits. In a simple RC filter with a series R and shunt C, the time-constant T is equal to RC. The cutoff frequency is given by 1/(2.pi.T).

So with 1 k-ohm and 0.1 uF the time-constant is 1000 x 1E-7 or 100 microseconds, so the cutoff frequency is 10,000/2pi which is 1592 Hz.

What happens if you take away a load from a series circuit?

As an example imagine a 60 W light bulb running off 120 V. The current will be 1/2 A. Now assume that you put a second 60 W bulb in series with the first. Now the resistance of the single 60 W bulb is 240 Ohms. The 1/2 A flowing through the bulb heats up the filament wire and causes an amount of light to be emitted. Resistance in series adds, so the total resistance for two of the bulbs in series is 480 Ohms and by Ohms law V = I x R, the current through each bulb will be 1/4 amp and hence the bulbs will be less bright.

What is blocking oscillator?

The oscillator which is blocked by using transformer is called a blocking oscillator. Generally, the primary is given to the base and secondary is given to the collector of the transistor used in the oscillator circuit.

What is an automatic circuit recloser?

An autorecloser is a circuit breaker equipped with a mechanism that can automatically close the breaker after it has been opened due to a fault.

They are used in coordinated protection schemes for overhead line power distribution circuits. These circuits are prone to transitory faults such as nearby lightning strikes, wind-borne debris, squirrels climbing insulators, and the like. With a conventional circuit breaker or fuse, a transient fault would open the breaker or blow the fuse, disabling the line until a technician could manually reclose the circuit breaker or replace the blown fuse. But an autorecloser will make several pre-programmed attempts to re-energize the line. If the transient fault has cleared, the autorecloser's circuit breaker will remain closed and normal operation of the power line will resume. If the fault is some sort of a permanent fault (downed wires, tree branches lying on the wires, etc.) the autorecloser will exhaust its pre-programmed attempts to re-energize the line and remain tripped off until manually commanded to try again.

Autoreclosers are made in single-phase and three-phase versions, and use either oil or vacuum interrupters. Controls for the reclosers range from the original electromechanical systems to digital electronics with metering and SCADA functions. The ratings of reclosers run from 40 amperes at 2400 volts up to 1200 amperes at 35000 volts.
