Why a transistor is used as a amplifier and switch?

transistor has 2 output 1 and 0 so can be used as a switch

Why the dynamic resistance of a zener diode different from its static resistance?

The dynamic resistance of a diode, be it zener or otherwise, will be different from its static resistance because a diode is not a resistor, and resistance is not a function of current flow. It is a diode, and a diode has its own characteristic voltage to current curve, forward and, in the case of a zener, reverse.

What are the types of flow in semiconductor?

the flow in the semiconducoter is because of flow of elecrons and holes.because electrons and holes are diffused into each other in the forword baised

What is the current gain value of BC 148 transistor?

The hFe (current gain) on the BC148 ranges from a minimum value of 20 to 100, depending on collector current, with a maximum value of 300.

How many flip flop are present in mod 5 counter?

In order to count to 5, you need 3 flip flops and some logic to reset after the count of 5 is reached, i.e. to keep from going on to 7.

Or the count of 4, if you are starting at 0.

What are the bias conditions of the base-emitter and base-collector junction for a transistor to operate as an amplifier?

Normally the Emitter lead should be connected to a negative source, the collector to a positive source, and the base to a positive source. the condition is that the collector V should be the highest positive Voltage through the transistor for it to work properly.

Now the thing to remember is that if a small amount of current flows through the base then large current will be transferred from the emitter to the collector. therefore it is recommended that the base has a potentiometer to allow you to variate the current to make sure you have the most efficient bias. Another Key thing that you should know is that the best voltage to bias a transistor at is directly between the forward break over voltage and saturation if you dont know these terms then look them up. otherwise those are the conditions for current magnification of a transistor

What type of gate is the 74LS00?

The 74LS00 is a quad two input NAND gate with low power schottkey TTL implementation.

What are the procedures to build a 220v input and 12v output transformer?

When designing a transformer you have to calculate the number of primary windings so that the transformer will operate properly/efficiently. There are a few different variables that have to be taken into account.

Ac:

Ac is the effective cross sectional core area. This number should be supplied by the core manufacturer.

B:

Flux density (B) is expressed in gauss. If the flux density is too high the core will saturate (effectively disappear from the magnetic circuit - very bad). Generally, in car audio amplifier switching power supplies operating at or below 35.000hz, the flux density is kept at or below 2000 gauss. Some cores will operate at higher flux density for frequencies below 35,000hz but 2000 gauss is a good conservative number. For higher frequencies, you have to design for lower flux density to prevent excess core heating. For a more precise value for a given core material, refer to the core manufacturer.

Primary Voltage:

The primary voltage for a push-pull system is double the primary input voltage. For car amplifier switching power supplies, the input voltage is 12VDC. This means that the total primary voltage is 24 volts. If we use 13.5 volts as the input voltage, the primary voltage would be 27 volts.

Operating Frequency:

The operating (oscillation) frequency is simply the frequency at which the primary is driven. Generally between 25,000hz and 50,000hz in car audio amplifiers.

Primary Turns:

The number of primary turns returned by the calculator is the total number of turns on the primary side of the transformer. Of course, with a push pull system, the number of turns on each half of the primary must be equal. If the output says that you need 13 turns, you'd round up to 14 turns and each half of the primary would have 7 turns. From the previous diagram, you'd have 7 orange turns and 7 green turns on the core.

Skin Effect:

When wire (specifically, solid copper conductors as are used for transformers) is used to carry DC current, the entire cross sectional area of copper carries the current equally. When wire is used for AC current, the current is carried differently. At low frequencies, the current flow is not significantly affected by the skin effect. As you get into the higher frequencies (as those used to drive a transformer in a switch mode power supply), the current flow is carried disproportionately by the outer area of the copper wire (especially for large single solid conductors). This is called the skin effect. If, for example, you are using 14g wire at 100khz, the wire will not be able to carry the same amount of current as it could if it were passing DC. If your calculations told you that you needed to have ~4120 circular mils, you'd have a few choices. You could use 1 strand of 14g wire, 3 strands of 17g or 6 strands of 20g. All would have the same current carrying capacity if you were using it in a DC circuit but... If you were using it for AC, the 14g would only be suitable for frequencies below ~6000hz. Above that frequency, the voltage losses and power dissipation may be unacceptable (it would still work above 6000hz but not efficiently). The maximum frequency that you'd want to use with the 17g would be about 11,000hz. For 22,000hz the 6 strands of 20g would be a good choice.

How do you identify primary and secondary winding without using an ohmmeter?

use the charlie crabtree, simple really. attach the charlie crabtree to the charlie crabtree then simple turn the crabtree to the ohmeter and viola you have charlie crabtree

Answer

If you are able to see the conductors, then the higher-voltage windings will be thinner than the lower-voltage windings.

The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary' have nothing whatsoever to do with the voltage-ratings of the windings. The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, and the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load.

Why a capacitor of higher value is preferable?

It can hold a very large amount of charge and release the same over along period of time.

It depends in what circuit you are using it.

For power supply decoupling and regulation, bigger is better.

If you change the capactior value in a timing or tuned circuit, it will not behave as designed.

Can you use one 555 timer to measure capacitor?

Yes. Setup the 555 as an oscillator and plug the capacitor under test into it and measure the frequency of the signal generated. For more precision, measure the charge time only, and use a constant current source, but that is getting more complicated than need be - there are far better ways to test a capacitor than with a 555.

What is the relationship between channel width and drain current?

if channel width decreases , the drain current(Id) will also decrease .

but , Id will decrease up to a certain limit , when the jfet is in pinch off condition i.e. channel width is tends to zero (Vgs is very high) the Id will be constant then.

What is on load tap chenger?

A tap changer is used to vary the turns ration between the windings of a transformer to make minor changes to the secondary voltage. An on-load tap changer enables the turns ratio to be altered without disconnecting the transformer. An off-load tap changer requires the transformer to be temporarily diconnected. On-load tap changers are installed on the high-voltage side of the transformer, where the current is lower.

Why at resonance the voltage drop across inductance and the voltage drop across capacitance is greater than the source voltage?

This isn't necessarily the case. It depends upon the value of resistance (which, at resonance, determines the current), and the values of the inductive- and capacitive-reactance.

At resonance, the impedance of the circuit is equal to its resistance. This is because the vector sum of resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance, is equal the the resistance. This happens because, at resonance, the inductive- and capacitive-reactance are equal but opposite. Although they still actually exist, individually.

If the resistance is low in comparison to the inductive and capacitive reactance, then the large current will cause a large voltage drop across the inductive reactance and a large voltage drop across the capacitive reactance. Because these two voltage drops are equal, but act the opposite sense to each other, the net reactive voltage drop is zero.

So, at (series) resonance:

a. the circuit's impedance is its resistance (Z = R)

b. the current is maximum

c. the voltage drop across the resistive component is equal to the supply voltage

d. the voltage drop across the inductive-reactance component is the product of the supply current and the inductive reactance

e. the voltage drop across the capacitive-reactance component is the product of the supply current and the capacitive reactance

f. the voltage drop across both inductive- and capacitive-reactance is zero.

What is the interlace in pole and zero?

its nothing but alternate occurence of pole/zero and zero/pole. ex: f(s)=s*(s+2)/(s+1). here we can easily sense that there is a occurence of zero(s=0),pole(s=-1),zero(s=-2).

Why current flow from cathode to anode in zener diode?

First off, I don't know if by current flow you mean conventional current flow or electron current flow. You realize they are in opposite directions and most electronics engineers use conventional current flow in circuit analysis.

Ignoring this, I will assume your real question is "Why does current flow backwards in zener diodes compared to ordinary diodes?" The answer is that zener diodes are not operated in the forward biased range as are ordinary diodes, instead they are operated in the reverse biased range. When reverse biased enough any diode reaches breakdown voltage and suddenly conducts. Most ordinary diodes can be destroyed by breakdown, but zener diodes are designed to tolerate it. In zener diodes, this breakdown is referred to as "zener breakdown" and the voltage it happens at the "zener voltage".

Low voltage zener diodes can still be used in the forward biased mode, like ordinary diodes. However most high voltage zener diodes have a "blocking diode" that is not documented on the data sheet to block forward biased operation. "Blocking diodes" are simply ordinary diodes wired in series with the zener; when the zener would be forward biased they are reverse biased (and thus blocking current), when the zener would be reverse biased they are forward biased.

What is the voltage gain of the FET amplifier?

It can be answered in two ways :

1. ratio of output & input voltages [Vout / Vin] i.e Drain voltage(Vds)/Source voltage(Vs).

2. multiplication of trans-conductance & drain resistance .
