Why are synchronizing pulses transmitted along with the picture signal?
To keep the picture locked on the screen, without the synchronization pulses it would become unstable and roll, shift, and tear making the picture impossible to view.
How can you reverse the direction of the magnetic field in a wire produced by an electric current?
You can reverse the direction of the magnetic field by reversing the direction of the electrical current.
Why are components tinned before soldering?
The tinning allows the solder to wet the joint faster, which results in more rapid heating of the joint and faster solder flow into the hot joint. Rapid completion of making the joint allows quicker removal of the soldering iron (or other heat source) and less excess heat flow through the leads to the component.
Factory pretinned component leads also prevents corrosion prior to use, which both protects parts in storage and makes soldering faster and cleaner by not having to use lots of flux to remove corrosion.
Are Passive reflectors used in both Active and passive Satellite system?
Yes. The most common antenna for satellite systems is the 'Dish'.
The dish is a parabolic , passive, reflector.
It merely reflects and concentrates the signal to the LNB receiver.
Transmission also works this way, bouncing the signal off the dish, to concentrate it in one direction, in a narrow beam.
What does logic mean in computing?
it's a little and basic integrated circuit that makes calculations regarding Boole's logic (true/false)
they can make various operations instantly regarding as the type of logic gate
based on the 2 inputs, giving the result as output.
they can make the OR operand, And, Xor,Not and a combination of them (cheaper) Nor,Nand,XNor
it's the base for digital computing.
If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.
If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.
Why should you use a current probe with a multimeter whenever you need to?
get into tight places,measure high-magnitude currents,monitor currents at a remote location,open a circuit
Some circuits are designed in one long loop or chain so that interrupting them at any point prevents the entire circuit from energizing. These circuits are referred to as______
No, DRAM is dynamic and thus stores its data as charge in capacitors. These capacitors are always discharging, so without refresh (i.e. read and rewrite every bit of data) periodically all the data in the DRAM will simply vanish. The operation of refresh requires power.
DRAM is very volatile.
When electricity leaves the power plant it is measured in what unit?
There are lots of different units for electricity, depending what aspect you want to measure (power, energy, current, voltage, frequency, etc.).For a power plant, some relevant units include:
* Volt, for voltage
* Ampere, for current
* Watt, for power
* Hertz, for frequency
What technology uses battery power to retain information even when the power to the computer is off?
complementary metal oxide semiconductor random access memory
A form of static random access memory built using both N-channel and P-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors, to keep the data hold current draw in the microampere range (or smaller) when not being accessed.
What types of transistors are the following - BJT PCT UJT SBT FET GJT AJT DFT?
The BJT is the bipolar junction transistor, the PCT is the point contact transistor, the UJT is the uni-junction transistor, the SBT is the surface barrier transistor, the FET is the field effect transistor, the GJT is the grown-junction transistor, the AJT is the alloy-junction transistor, and the DFT is the drift field-junction transistor.
Does 001 farad of capacitor have polarity?
Only electrolytic capacitors (tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor) are polarized.
0.001 farad = 1000 microfarad
This is a value that is too large for any practical capacitor except an electrolytic, so yes it will be polarized.
Difference between potential transformer and current trasnformer?
The difference between current transformer and potential transformer is that the secondary of a current transformer can not be open circuited while under service whereas that of the potential transformer an be open circuited without any damage to the transformer.
How much would you sell an 20 inch Emerson Used Television Model EWF2004 for?
Considering the small screen size and the fact that it uses a CRT not a flat panel display, its unlikely anyone would agree to give more than $5 for it at this time. It might just be easiest to turn it in to an electronics recycler. Don't throw it in the trash, as this is illegal in many cities!!
What bands did the ATT Long Lines microwave tower 'wide-band' horn antennas operate on?
KS-15676 horns used were broadband 3.6-12 GHz. According to the actual specs; manual., they were designed to work between 3700 MHz to 4200 MHz. 5925 MHz to 6425 Mhz and 10,700 to 11,700 MHz on common carrier bands.
Why is gold used as the reflective surface of some solar panels?
A thin layer of gold that is transparent to visible light but reflective to infrared light is used to keep the temperature of the panels down. This is important in space where the atmosphere does not block solar infrared light, but not needed on the surface of earth.
What is the function of vom in electronics?
Measure voltage, resistance, and on some meters current. Typically used as a troubleshooting aid.
Can electronics in standby mode consume same energy or power?
Generally, no; most electronic devices only consume between 5% and 20% of their normal operating power when in standby. Some devices like copiers or laser printers only consume a couple of percent of their normal power because printers consume a LOT of energy in normal use to fuse the toner to the paper.
Why an ideal voltage regulation of a device has zero value?
An ideal regulator would hold the thing it is regulating (e.g. voltage, current, water pressure, motor speed) absolutely constant, or in other words with zero variation of that parameter. The quality of regulation in actual regulators however can only approach this ideal of zero variation.
How many watts are required to start a 7 HP 12 VDC motor you want to start the motor on solar panel?
For calculation purposes 1 HP is equal to 746 watts. So you have a total of 746 x 7 = 5222 watts. The amperage will be A = W/V = 7222/12 = 435 amps. You can not start the motor directly off of the solar panel. You would need a large 12 VDC parallel connected battery bank to obtain the amperage capacity to start the motor. The solar panels would be connected to the battery bank and used to charge the batteries after the start.
Why do you need a clean room for integrated circuit design?
You don't need one for the design, but for the fabrication. The tiniest amount of dust can contaminate the substrate or create a short across microscopic circuits.
The reduction of airborne particulates in sensitive materials manufacturing is comparable to the reduction of living things (germs, microbes, viruses) in medical and pharmceutical environments.
