What is the purpose of carrier signal in modulation?

Carrier signal is of high frequencies, it gives strength to the original signal because original signal cannot travel long distances so it needs to be strengthen a bit for transmitting.

The carrier signal is a high frequency signal, called an RF. Radio Frequency signal, it is to high for the human or animal ear to detect it, so its outside the audible spectrum and can easily be transmitted over the air to receivers that is tuned to receive that frequency and detect any modulation on that signal.

What device is also called a rectifier?

A rectifier is an electronic device that changes an AC voltage to a DC voltage.

Defferent between vactor and sacler?

x/3+y/4=1 slope and y-intercept is it vector, then it is a quantity with both magnitude and direction,e.g velocity, displacement and a scaler: then it is a quantity only with magnitude. e.g peed, distance

What are the parts of a transistor?

The emitter, the base, and the collector are parts of a transistor.

Except ASCII and EMBDIC are there other popular coding schemes used for the Internet application?

ASCII is very common. EMBDIC is hardly so.

However, ASCII has been almost completely replaced by Unicode, which is by far the most common encoding scheme anywhere. Unicode comes with several variations (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, etc). UTF-8 is an 8-bit extension of the 7-bit ASCII coding scheme and allows the encoding of any arbitrary character available in Unicode. The different formats UTF-16 and on are primarily used to encode characters in a different language that will almost always require subsequent bytes.

What are the different types of antennas?

There are dozens of different types of antennae. To see a list and get more details about individual types, see the related link.

Why is 5 volt assigned to logic 1 state and 0 assigned to ground?

Ground is a base point in every circuit.we define it's potential to 0.so GND=0 Volts.

We know that logical circuits build up with transistors and use those in saturation mode. in saturation mode we need 5 volts voltage in input to we have this mode.5 volt voltage is IC working voltage(Vcc) too. so 3-5 volt is 1 logic

What is triode pentode?

A triode pentode is a thermionic valve, also known as a vacuum tube (USA). It comprises a triode which has three electrodes and a pentode which has five electrodes, both sections of the valve are enclosed in a single glass envelope.

They were often used in domestic audio amplifiers in the 'valve era' where the triode section acted as a preamplifier to increase the amplitude of the low level signal from the input source such as a tape head or a crystal pick-up; and the pentode section provided sufficient power amplification to drive a small loudspeaker.

Minimising the number of valves in such designs significantly reduced the overall power consumption, heat dissipation and manufacturing cost of the equipment. It also reduced the retail price, making record players more affordable to the domestic consumer.

Triode pentodes are still used in some current production, British built Hi Fi amplifiers because, with careful attention to the design, they can be configured to out-perform double triodes (two triodes in a single envelope) in the driver stages.

A source of DC voltage that converts light to voltage is a?

that is called solar cell which converts light(photons) to D.C voltage .the amplitude of voltage depend on how many solar cell are you joined in seies a solar cell normally produce 0.6-0.7 V D.C

What is Enameled copper wire?

Enameled copper wire is copper wire coated by a insulating paint usually colored red. The paint is much thin rubber/plastic sleeves that other wires have, yet provide almost the same amount of insulation. Enameled wire is primarily used in the construction of electromagnets since it allows more loops to be packed into a smaller volume.

Does a current carrying conductor act as an antenna?

Essentially yes, this is the reason why many electronic cables are surrounded by a metal mesh. This mesh acts as a Faraday cage and helps prevents the wires inside it from acting as an antenna and picking up unwanted noise.

Difference between induced emf and generated emf?

In an analogy, Generated EMFs can be considered as the speed or force at which the boat is moving, while Induced EMFs can be considered as a standyby boat with no engine, when the moving boat with an engine passes. Generated EMFs, considered as the boat with an engine, is the voltage which is generated by a source, by which in this case is the engine, while the Induced EMF, considered as the boat with no engine, is affected by the moving boat with an engine, thereby also moving the Induced EMF. In a sense, Generated EMFs have their own source while Induced are only 'moved' by other external forces. Like wise when electrons flow on a wire the ripples or magnetic flux will induce or generate motion on any wire or conductor next to it. That's how transformers work.

How do you find voltage rating of zener diode?

It should be marked, either on the diode or on the box it came in. If you can't find the mark, then you have to measure it yourself. Take the zener diode, a battery or DC power supply, and a resistor. Wire them all in series, with the NEG (cathode) end of the diode closer to the POSitive side of the battery or power supply. Connect your voltmeter across the diode, and slowlyincrease the power supply output voltage while watching the meter. You'll see the voltage across the diode increase slowly, tracking the power supply, until you reach the Zener voltage. At that point, the voltage across the diode won't increase any more; it'll just stay there at its 'reverse breakdown' voltage, which is the Zener voltage. (If the voltage across the diode goes to around a volt and won't go any higher, the polarity is wrong. Reverse either the diode or else the power supply.) You probably want a wild guess at what the value of the resistor should be. That's difficult to specify if I don't know the power rating of the Zener diode you're testing. I'm going to make the following suggestion completely in the blind: Select the resistor to limit the series current to 30 mA even if you have to crank the power supply up to 50 volts. R = 50/.03 = 1.5 to 2 K-ohms, rated for a couple of watts.

How do you charge a Griffin itrip transmitter?

A Griffin itrip transmitter uses the power supply provided by your Ipod, so you are using that battery. There is no battery source in the Itrip I own.

What is the relationship between peak rms and average values of an ac voltage?

Peak voltage of an AC voltage is the value at its highest or lowest point.

RMS (Root Mean Square) voltage of an AC voltage is a mathematical derivation involving the square root of the average value of the squares of samples of the voltage as the sample interval approaches zero.

Average voltage is simply that - the average or mean voltage.

For a true sine wave, RMS and average are equivalent, but they are not equivalent when the wave is distorted, or has some other shape such as triangular.

RMS is the best way to measure an AC voltage, as it gives you a true reading of the amount of power that the voltage can deliver.

One issue with non-RMS AC meters is that they typically measure the rectified, filtered peak value and then compensate by dividing by 1.4. This is not correct unless the voltage is a sine wave.

Answer

The peak value of an a.c. voltage or current is the amplitude of that voltage or current waveform -i.e. the maximum value of voltage or current in either the positive or the negative sense.

The root-mean-square (rms) value of an a.c. voltage or current. For a sinusoidal waveform, the rms value is 0.707 times the peak value (amplitude). A.C. voltages or currents are always quoted in rms values unless otherwise specified.

The average value of an a.c. voltage or current is zero over one complete cycle so, when used, it applies only over one half cycle. Therefore, the average value for one-half cycle of a sine wave is 0.637 times the peak value. Average values are of little relevance to a.c. calculations.

What is the difference between capacitance and stray capacitance?

Capacitance is an ability to store an electric charge.

"If we consider two same conductors as capacitor,the capacitance will be small even the conductors are close together for long time." this effect is called Stray Capacitance.

Why must resistance never be measured in an active circuit?

First of all, in an active circuit, there are voltages flowing through various nodes. If you try to measure the resistor, those voltages will cause error in your meter, or may damage your meter. Second of all, even if you cut the power, any loop in the circuit around the resistor will affect the measured impedance. Unless you are certain that only the resistor will see the current introduced by the meter, you must take the resistor out of circuit to measure it.

What is voltage source converter?

A power inverter, or inverter, is an electrical device that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC);[1] the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits.

Solid-state inverters have no moving parts and are used in a wide range of applications, from small switching power supplies in computers, to large electric utility high-voltage direct current applications that transport bulk power. Inverters are commonly used to supply AC power from DC sources such as solar panels or batteries.

The inverter performs the opposite function of a rectifier.

How much current flows through a circuit if 2 coulombs of charge flows each second?

Current in amperes is coulombs per second, so 2 coulombs per second is 2 amperes.
