How can you use a microwave to find the speed of light?
One way, is to turn on your light switch and observe how long it takes for the light to reach to the other side of the room. (How long it takes for the room to go from dark to light.) Be careful not to blink or you'll miss it.
What are the purposes of signal processing?
With DSP you can change, modify, study the properties of signals more easily than analog signal processing. You can do modulation, encryption, decryption, encoding, decoding, multiplexing, comparing etc
The relationship for current and voltage in a series circuit?
current is the rate of flow of charge: colombs per second or amps
voltage is the amount of energy in one colomb of charge: volt or jouls per colomb
voltage times current is the power.
Gunn diodes are used in GUNN oscillator over high frequency application. its work on the transfer electron effect TET and the scientist J.B Gunn observe it so the phenomenon is named by gunn effect. the diode are made from GaAs material.because silicon is not suitable low forbidden energy gap 1.21eV only.
What does not reduce resistance in a copper wire?
-- winding the wire into a coil
-- changing its price
-- tie-wrapping it to the outside of a conduit
-- shining a flashlight on it
-- exposing it to loud noises
-- changing the color of its insulating jacket
Resistance will only be reduced by changing the thickness / physical dimensions (15 small wires wound together vs 1 big one, etc.) of the wire, or the wire's temperature. It's apparent impedance can be changed by placing it in an electric field as well.
Explain the function of the capacitor and inductor in a power supply?
A capacitor resists a change in voltage (dv/dt = i/c). An inductor resists a change in current (dl/dt = vl). Together, a capacitor and inductor make a tuned circuit. Usually, in a linear power supply, there is a capacitor in parallel with an inductor in series, and often, in a pi filter, another capacitor in parallel. This reduces the peak to peak voltage at the output. It is also possible to put an inductor in series with the rectifier diode, as as to reduce inrush current. In a switching power supply, things are a little bit different. The primary inductor is a current pump, maintaining constant current flow to the load, controlled by the pulse-width oscillator which switches between on-current from source and off-current from schottky diode. The capacitor in this case filters the output, so as to reduce high frequency harmonics.
How do you replace ball bearings in an electric motor?
rub the bearing gently with a rag soaked in olive oil
Is audio signal an electromagnetic signal?
Because Audio waves move as sound waves through air as condensations and rarefactions or slight compressions and partial vacuums of gas molecules and can be stopped by the walls of a house.
If a circuit contains 3-ohm resistance in a series what is the equivalent resistance of combination?
Equation for Equivalent Resistance in Series is
Req= R1+R2+R3+...........
If each resistor is equal to 3Ohms
then
Req= R1+R2+R3
Req=3+3+3
Req=9 Ohms
The Equivalent resistance is 9 Ohms.
A relay circuit is typically a smaller switch or device which drives (opens/closes) an electric switch that is capable of carrying much larger current amounts. Or a circuit which operates the coil or electronic actuator from one source and uses a separate power source to drive an isolated device. Generally speaking, a relay circuit is a circuit that uses a small mechanical switch or a semiconductor device (with associated circuitry) to energize a relay, which will then close a contact set to complete another circuit. This system is used by most people on a daily basis, and it is used to start a motor vehicle. The key switch (ignition switch) is turned to "start" and 12 volts (approximately) is applied to the starter solenoid (which is a big relay). The coil is energized, it shuts contacts, and the battery voltage is delivered through the heavy contact set (for high current capacity) to the starter motor. There are variations on this theme to which the term relay circuit can be applied, but the idea remains the same: a small switch of some kind controls switching in another (usually higher voltage and/or current) circuit. It could be argued that the telegraph is a relay circuit. Remember those old westerns? When a telegraph key is pushed down (thus completing the circuit), a remote (relay) coil is energized. The magnetic field created by energizing that coil pulls down an armature with the objective being to make a "click" instead of it being to close some electrical contacts. An early and dramatic application of the simple relay circuit, the telegraph, yes? A RELAY CIRCUIT DOES NOT IMPLY MASSIVE CURRENT SWITCHING. It is a means to isolate one source to another.
Why are transformers helpful when using alternating current?
The transformer in the least complex manner can be depicted as a thing that means up or ventures down voltage. It is fundamentally a voltage control gadget that is utilized broadly in the conveyance and transmission of rotating flow power.

What does E stand for in Electrical Resistance Terms?
E is a shorter form of EMF, which stands for "ElectroMotive Force", which is a fancy term for Voltage. Technically, voltage is a unit of potential energy. When a conductor is connected between two sources of dissimilar charge, a force is asserted on the electrons in the atoms and molecules in the conductor. This is modeled as a decrease in potential energy and an increase in "kinetic" energy in the form of electron motion, but this is really a simplified model of the actual much more complicated physics behind what is really happening.
What is need to modulation in communication system?
Need for modulation
1) to reduce the antenna height
2) to multiplex the more number of signals
3) to reduce the noise & distortions
4) to narrow banding the signal
5) to reduce equipment
Why is the input impedance of a jfet so high?
If you mean JFET, it is because the gate junction is reverse biased.
Difference between 8031 8051 and 8751 microcontrollers?
Answer It is both 8 bit processors in a 40 pin package but it is not pin compatible, it have almost the same functions but it is very difficult to compare the two because it is not the same family.

What is the difference between ac arc and dc arc welding?
Both are shielded metal welders but differ in the electricity they use. Ac welders can weld heavier metal while dc welders are better for thinner metals. Ac welders can weld magnetized metals. Dc welders can not. The arc in an ac welder is harder to control because of the pulsating current. Dc welders are more expensive. Some welding machines offer both options.
What metals can't conduct electricity?
By definition, a solid metal, including liquid mercury, in its elemental form should conduct electricity. Under what condition a metal cannot conduct electricity? Normally when a metal is oxidized, the result is highly resistive, but then the oxide film (such as rust) is no longer considered metallic.
Some metals, such as sodium, don't normally exist in its elemental form in nature. If these metals are somehow kept out of trouble (air), they too should conduct electricity.
==================================
What is the purpose of tube amplifiers?
An audio amplifier boosts sound levels. Audio amplifiers typically contain transistors, though the transistors are often packaged inside ICs (Integrated Circuits). A transistor is an electrical device that allows a small amount of voltage or current to trigger a larger level of voltage and/or current. So an amplifier reproduces the sound at a higher amplitude or strength. Of course, there are some tube-type amplifiers that are still in existence. Those are rare and it is hard to find the tubes. Vacuum tubes were what was in use before transistors.
There are different types of audio amplifiers. Radios and televisions contain audio amplifiers to be able to drive the speakers. Once the audio signal is extracted from the radio waves and passes out of the detector stage, it is too weak to drive a speaker.
Sound boards in computers are capable of driving headphones directly, though not always at a comfortable volume. If you want the volume to be louder, or you want to listen through speakers, you would do best to get a set of amplified speakers. They contain an amplifier inside, and that is why they require batteries or a power cord.
How do you solve for current using volts and watts in a problem?
Amperes measure the rate of flow of electricity in a conductor Volts measure electrical pressure Watts measure the amount of energy or work that can be done by Amperes and Volts Relationship: Work = Pressure x Flow or Watts = Volts x Amperes When you know two variables you can calculate the other Formulas - This formula referred to as the West Virginia Formula (W - VA)
Watts = Volts x Amps Volts = Watts / Amps Amps - Watts / Volts Refer to link below for more information
What is a circuit where there is a single pathway for current?
Well, if your speaking very basically, a series circuit will have only 1 route to flow, and that's around the entire series circuit. Current leaves the source, and returns to the source, around a single path.
If in doubt with electronics theory, remember this analogy. Electricity is like water in a pipe Voltage= Water pressure (Not directional, doesnt flow in a linear sense)
Current= Rate of water flow (Wider pipes, more current! Resistor's are like kinks in a pipe, limiting flow. This is expressed in Ohm's Law as I=V/R. As R increases, current decreases)
What is the difference between an ordinary transformer and a center-tapped transformer?
An ordinary transformer has two input/output terminals but a center tapped transformer has 2 input and 3 output terminals. One is taken from the center for a ground connection. This causes it to get 50% of the actual value.
And ordinary transformer contains 2 windings.
An autotransformer has one.
Why capacitors cannot be used with direct current?
DC does not travel through a capacitor for long because there is a buildup of charge on the plates and when the voltage matches the supply voltage, mo more current flows.
But capacitors are used to smooth a DC supply because a capacitor acts a bit like a small battery and can prevent any rapid fluctuations in the supply voltage.
