Can an ac amplifier amplify the DC signals?
An amplifier generally amplifies an AC waveform (such as sound), and is powered by a DC source. The majority of the power at the output is then coming from a DC source (the power supply in a power amplifier will convert the 50/60Hz AC power in to DC for the amplifier circuitry). So you can make the argument the above (question) is a true statement.
But an amplifier wouldn't be used to convert from DC to AC power (in general).
The resistors should be connected in parallel .
"WI FI" is a neologism (new word) that represents a play on the old slang "Hi Fi", which originally meant "high fidelity" (music) and was generally applied to phonographs and the vinyl records played on them. "WI FI" would therefore be "wireless high fidelity", consisting of broadband wireless routers used privately or publicly to connect computers at high speed.
Can you tell more about electronic wattmeter?
The only type I am familiar with is the Bird 4391M. This a a digital display wattmeter whereas the Bird 43 is an analog (mechanical meter) device. The digital wattmeter has many functions available such as FWD PWR, RFL PWR, MOD, that are selected by front panel push buttons. It is a very versatile unit for measuring RF signal power. The one disadvantage to the digital wattmeter is that it needs to be powered to operate, either on AC line or the rechargeable battery pack. The Bird 43 wattmeter is a very simple unit to operate and requires no external power. You simply plug in the correct element, making sure the arrow on the element points in the same direction as the RF signal flow, apply the RF power and get the meter reading. With both types of wattmeters, the frequency and power range desired to be measured is determined by plug-in elements that go into the front panel of the unit. If using a Bird wattmeter, I would suggest using Bird elements. The ones made by Coaxial Dynamics are good, but the can sometimes cause calibration errors. I have calibrated the Bird wattmeters for many years and they are very durable. You may want to do an internet search on Bird wattmeters for more information on their particular functions. Hope this helps.
Does ohms describe the difference in conduction between wires?
In regards to the capacity of a conductor, the rating is in amperage. Voltage is an insulation factor which refers to the amount of voltage that can be applied to an insulated conductor before the insulation breaks down. A break down of insulation is the main factor of creating a short circuit condition.
What is the significance of back emf?
Back emf in a DC Motor plays a role of a regulator,We know the basic equation V=IaRa+Eb,where Ia,Ra are is the current through and resistance of the armature coil,Eb is the back emf and V is the Pd applied.Consider,
Ia=V-Eb/Ra,The value of Ra is really small, just a few ohms and V would generally be around 240-220V(Indian conditions),assuming Eb to be zero(at the time of starting),it shows that Ia comes to be a really large value that the motor coil can barely handle,thats why we use a 3,2 POINT Starter that avoids large starting current,Now in the running condition of the motor Back emf would naturally be produced(say around 200V) this tends to reduce the value of(V-Eb), thus stopping a large current from entering the coil.But as the Load applied to the motor increases , Back emf would naturally come down to allow more current to enter the coil upto its rated value,to deliver the load requirement.thus Eb acts as a regulator.(Eb opposes the applied voltage)
Why pcb's are of green colour coated?
Those Green color are called soldermask.They are available in many colors including Green & black.
The purpose is to protect the Cu layer from corrosion and provide good insulation.
Where does wind power have to be sited?
A2: Choose a location you own or can lease, that is close to your house or the grid where you can sell the energy to. You want the site to be as windy as possible, with consistent winds. You want to survey the wind to see what the maximum winds are but most importantly how consistent they are. This will help you design it. People always make sure wind turbines can handle the maximum winds, but how much power will it produce over the year? Probably higher in winter and lower in summer. But I would guess even if you choose a windy place you might only get 12 percent of your rated capacity. A local power station has a 600 KW system but it only produces 72 kw on the average per year based on 13 years of service. They could have chosen a better site and they did when they purchased 10 new 2.4 MW wind energy systems this year.
To summarize: You want to choose a location based on your Wind Survey. Find out the site which is most convient to you that produces the most energy per year for you.
How many amps does a one horse power motor draw?
depends what the source voltage is
one horsepower equals to 746watts (assuming 100% efficiency)
746 watts divided by voltage source equals current (amps)
AnswerIn countries, such as the USA, where the horsepower is still used as a means of measuring power, it is always used to measure the output power of a motor.
So, in order to determine the current drawn by the motor, you will first need to find out its input power. The input power is the output power divided by the machine's efficiency. Once you know its input power, then you can find its current by dividing the input power by the supply voltage. In practise, you will need to use a wattmeter to determine its input power.
Voltage is current times resistance, 1.2 x 110 = 132 volts.
Can current pass throug one thick conductor?
Wire is sized to carry current, it doesn't matter whether the voltage is AC or DC. The larger the diameter of the wire the more current it is allowed to carry.
NOT Possible. In a parallel combination the power tollerence has to increase, thus for every additional resistor in parallel the effective power capacity of the resister would be n(12) Watts where n is the number of resistors connected. ie. if n=3 the power of the combination would rise to 12 x 3 = 36W. Also it is not possible to compute the effective resistance of the combination unless the resitance value of the resitors utilised is known. The question is therefore invalid.
What is the basic principle of time base generator?
many digital electronics require some notion of time passing to operate. For example a time of day clock requires a signal of one second to update the time signal which is basically just a special counter. An oscilloscope needs some time reference to advance the trace across the X-axis of the screen. A frequency counter literally measures events during a given time interval.
In these instruments, there will be a signal called a clock which is basically an oscillator-driven signal which is processed to a digital signal called a "clock" and used to measure or advance events every clock cycle.
Usually the time base clock is the major factor determining the overall accuracy of the instrument so better instruments have clocks derived from crystal oscillators and variations of crystal oscillators with even better characteristics.
How to calculate the heat produced in a resistor?
Resistors dissipate heat energy with power P=I2R. Since power is defined as energy gained or lost per unit time, we can solve for the energy lost using E=Pt, where E is energy (joules), P is power, and t is time (seconds).
Finally, substituting the definition of power into the equation you get:
E=I2Rt
Answer
With difficulty. The original answer, unfortunately, tells us the work done on the resistor and not the heat transfer from the resistor, which is what the questioner is asking.
The work done on the resistor is the product of the square of the current and the value of its resistance. This will increase the internal energy of the resistor and increase its temperature above that of its surroundings, and heat, by definition, is the energy transferred from the higher temperature resistor to its cooler surroundings.
So there are simply too many unknown variables to take into account: the mass of the resistor, the specific heat capacity of the material from which it's made, the temperature difference between the resistor and its surroundings...
What are Disadvantage of diode valve?
the disadvantages are that over a period of time gate valves seize and become in operable. also the handles of gate valves corrode quickly and gate valves don't entirely close properly making it difficult to solder. Gate valves are used for positive shut off and Gate valves are not designed for throttling like a globe pattern type . Gate valve fail because the installer has no idea what these types of valves are intended to do such as main steam shut off's or water mains..If properly used and installed correctly these valves last over 100 years under extream conditions
How is a bias source of use to a historian?
It helps historians to remember to check other sources for facts.
How are current and voltage related to the power supplied by the source?
in ac circuits
power,P=VICOS@
@ is the angle between voltage and current.
in dc
P=VI
V is the voltage
I is the current.
Power (in Watts) is current (A) x voltage (V)
What is the charge flowing per second in a circuit?
The numerical representation of one coulomb of charge moving past a point in a circuit per second is called an ampere.
How do you increase the magnetic field in a coil?
Magnetism requires mass of some sort. Smaller magnet, smaller field. I would think that the same holds true with the wire. In the field of electromagnetism you will be dealing with a power requirement to achieve desired strength of field. So, to give you my best answer to your question is to increase the electrical input. If the wire is already magnetic, get a thicker diameter magnetic wire.
Why are electric wires insulated?
If you don't have insulation on the wire, then the loops in the coil will touch each other and short to each other. Instead of have x number of turns on the coil, you would basically have a solid conductor if the wire was not insulated.
What jobs can a transistor do when combined with the CPU?
The modern CPU (typically inside a microprocessor IC) is built of billions of transistors (typically complementary MOSFETs).
The CPUs of the late 1960s were built of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of transistors inside several hundred MSI ICs (typical silicon NPN BJTs).
The CPUs of the late 1950s to early 1960s were built of thousands to tens of thousands of discrete transistors (typically germanium BJTs, gradually transitioning silicon BJTs).
The CPUs of the early 1950s did not use transistors, they were built of hundreds to tens of thousands of vacuum tubes.
How ac generators and dc generators are alike and how they are different?
They both have rotor and stator windings. They create a magnetic field and move a coil of wire through it, thus producing electricity.
The AC generator rotates a mageting field inside the stator. As the poles have both a north and south end, the field generated in staor coils is an AC waveform, as the poles reverse the current at each half turn. The power for the rotating coils are supplied with DC current via slip rings and the (excitation) current can be varied to control the output.
A DC generator has the magnetic field supplied by the stator coils. The induced current of the rotor windings is taken from the rotating shaft via a commutator, a brush and secored contact area. The induced current therefore is only produced over a small arc of the rotor and thus has the same polarity, (albeit interrupted) DC.
Do 110 to 220 voltage converters work?
