Why you use capacitor in voltage transformer?
A capacitor is used in the 'back end' of a volt' xfmr to smooth out the ripple that occurs when changing from one voltage to another. Given the nature of a cap, it provides a slow rise & fall to fluctuating voltages, sort of like the struts on your car. It dampens the peaks & valleys.
XL= 2 * Pi * f * L = 6.28 * 60 * .5 = 188 ohms
The resistance that an inductor poses to the flow of ac?
An inductor has two properties. The first is resistance(measured in ohms), which is due to the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the conductor from which it is wound. The second is inductance (measured in henrys), which is due to the length of the inductor, its cross-sectional area, the number of turns, and the permeability of its core.
The inductor's resistance limits the value of current flowing through the inductor. The inductor's inductance opposes any change in current.
What are the Applications of differentiation and integration?
Shipwrecks occured because the ship was not where the captain thought it should be. There was not a good enough understanding of how the Earth, stars and planets moved with respect to each other.
Calculus (differentiation and integration) was developed to improve this understanding.
Differentiation and integration can help us solve many types of real-world problems.
We use the derivative to determine the maximum and minimum values of particular functions (e.g. cost, strength, amount of material used in a building, profit, loss, etc.).
Derivatives are met in many engineering and science problems, especially when modelling the behaviour of moving objects.
INTEGRATION:
1. Applications of the Indefinite Integral shows how to find displacement (from velocity) and velocity (from acceleration) using the indefinite integral. There are also some electronics applications.
In primary school, we learned how to find areas of shapes with straight sides (e.g. area of a triangle or rectangle). But how do you find areas when the sides are curved? e.g.
2. Area Under a Curve and
3. Area Between 2 Curves . Answer is by Integration.
4. Volume of Solid of Revolution explains how to use integration to find the volume of an object with curved sides, e.g. wine barrels.
5. Centroid of an Area means the centre of mass. We see how to use integration to find the centroid of an area with curved sides.
6. Moments of Inertia explains how to find the resistance of a rotating body. We use integration when the shape has curved sides.
7. Work by a Variable Force shows how to find the work done on an object when the force is not constant.
8. Electric Charges have a force between them that varies depending on the amount of charge and the distance between the charges. We use integration to calculate the work done when charges are separated.
9. Average Value of a curve can be calculated using integration.
Why P-type semiconductors mosfet are not use generally?
in case p type semiconductor mosfet the carriers are holes whose mobility is much less then electrons hence they are not used.
when mosfets were introduced originally PMOS was much more common than NMOS, because process for PMOS devices was simpler. but as process methods improved things transitioned to NMOS due to higher speed of operation due to greater carrier mobility (as explained above) and eventually CMOS due to lower power consumption.
The same was true for similar reasons with bjts: PNP was easier to make but NPN was faster.
What did the cathode ray tube tell us about atomic structure?
because Thomson saw the ray move from the cathode to the anode so the particles have negatively charge
What does it take to positively identify a person using fingerprints?
Positive identification occurs when a qualified expert determines that the questioned and known prints contain sufficient quality (clarity) and quantity of friction ridge detail in agreement with no unexplainable differences. Because the skin on fingers and palms is very flexible, no two fingerprints (even one recorded immediately after another) are exactly alike. Fingerprint experts study for years to understand the normal variations caused by flexible skin, by finger movement, by temporary skin damage, and by other factors such as dirt or liquid present on a finger or surface. Even one unexplainable difference means that the fingerprints are not from the same person.
Can you give an example of a causal chain?
The children's book If You Give a Mouse A Cookie is a great example of a causal chain. Though the ideas are silly (meant for entertaining children), it still shows how A leads to B and B leads to C...
Where is Microstrip antenna used?
Micro strip antenna has following advantages :
1) Low profile : conformal (most important)
2) Easy to fabricate
3) Can be used in array
4) Easy to feed

A stealth aircraft has about 50-70 micro-strip antennas. the most popular of conformal microstrip antennas are Cylindrical, conical as the are mounted on various parts of aircrafts, missiles etc. they have many use on armament department.
What are the differences among various image formats such as bmp JPEG tiff gif etc?
Each image format has a specific use. A bmp file is a bitmapped raster image in black and white. A jpeg (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the format used for the web and the format used by digital cameras. The quality of a jpeg file deteriorates each time you re-save it because it is compressing the file info, so be careful. A giff file is similar to a jpeg except it is an animated graphics file. A tiff (Tagged Image Format File) is a raster file, usually cmyk color mode and used for printing. An eps file can be either raster or vector, and is used for printing, almost always high resolution and cmyk color. A psd file is a native Photoshop file, usually with layers intact, used for creating/editing the image.
Does current produce voltage or does voltage produce current?
Current is regulated by the resistance of the load. That said without voltage no current will flow. Both are intertwined, without all the components you have nothing. Refresh your self with Ohm's law. E = I x R, I = E/R, and R = E/I. E = Voltage, I = Amperage, R = Ohms resistance.Visualize it like a triangle, without all three sides you have nothing. Current is produced by lines of flux cutting through a conductor. Voltage is a measure of the force or power of the current produced.
ANSWER: VOLTS are just potential it can exist without current. The evidence of this potential is evident as soon as we try to measure it since current now have a path no matter how small or large. The load does not regulate the current flow but rather the potential does. If the potential disappear so does the current no matter what load there is.
First, you will need to convert to the frequency domain.
ZR = R; Zc = 1/(jwc); ZL = jwL; w = 50Hz*2pi = 100pi
ZR = 25 ohm; Zc = -j80 ohms; v = 240*cos(100pi + 0)V
Second, combine the impedances, in series.
Zeq = ZR + Zc = 25-j80 ohms
Finally use Ohm's law to find the current. v = i*Z
i = 240 V / 25-j80 ohms = 2.9*e^(j73)A
2.9*e^(j1.28) has a magnitude of 2.9A and a phase of 73 degrees.
Now, you may need to convert back to the time domain.
i = 2.9cos(100pi + 73)A
its a routine for workout see the link below

Reason for choosing 400 Hz as the number of cycles in AC?
Aircraft use 400 Hz for their power supplies because it allows them to use smaller and lighter components.
Does the voltage increase when current moves through the circuit?
If a buck boost converter is a part of the circuit, then it is possible.
Block diagram of amplitude modulation?
The basic block diagram consists of a modulator which may be a product modulator or a balanced modulator. The audio input signal is fed to the input of the modulator and there it is being multiplied by the carrier signal which is generated by using a oscillator.
This block diagram in its crude form is given by:
What is the functions of a resistor?
Resistance:
Electrical resistance describes how an electrical conductor (a wire) opposes the flow of an electrical current (flow of electrons). To overcome this opposition a voltage (a energy) must dropped (used) across the conductor (wire). Resistance can be described by ohms law:
Ohms Law: R = V / I (Resistance = Voltage / Current) (resistance measured in ohms)
where:
Voltage [V]= the energy lost across an component (voltage measured in volts).
Current [I] = the charge (electrons) flowing through an component (current measured in Amps).
Electrical resistance can be thought of as sticking your hand out a car window. The faster [current] you drive the harder the wind presses [resistance] against you hand and therefore it takes more energy [voltage] to hold your hand steady.
When trying to overcome electrical resistance, the electrical energy lost is turned into heat. This is how the elements of a household stove, toaster, and fan heater work. Because of the vacuum in a light bulb, the electrical energy lost is instead turned into light. It can be seen the electrical resistance plays a large role in modern life.
Resistor:
The resistor is the most common electronic component and is used to limit and/or control the voltage and current in an electronic circuit. Resistors are carefully manufactured to provide a predetermined value of electrical resistance which may range from 0.1 ohms to 100,000,000 ohms, depending on the application. The physical size of a resistor also varies dependant on the amount of power passing through the resistor, given by:
P = V x I (Power = Voltage x Current) (power measured in watts)
There are also many types of resistors including:
· Variable Resistor - changes resistance when its shaft is rotated (volume knob on a stereo).
· Thermistor - changes resistance when the temperature changes (used in a thermostat).
· Light Dependant Resistor (LDR) - changes resistance when the lighting changes (used in children's night-lights).
Resistor Example:
An LED is a small red light (such as the one on the front of most TVs) and requires 2.0 volts and 0.02 amps to operate correctly. If we connected that LED up directly to a 12 volt battery, the voltage would be too high, and too much current would flow… the LED would blow up. We need to use a resistor to limit the voltage and current.
But which value of resistance should the have resistor? Uses ohms law:
R = V / I = (12.0 - 2.0) / 0.02 = 500 ohms
(Note: the voltage across the resistor is the battery voltage minus the voltage we want across the LED)
But which value of power should the resistor be capable of handling?
P = V x I = (12.0 - 2.0) / 0.02 = 0.2 Watts
hope this helps
ofiu9njkgugi The main function of resistor is to control the electric current passing through the system. In automobile it is used in many areas like Body Areas & Cabin Controls, Integrated Drive Train & Starter/Alternators (including 42V systems), DC/DC Converters, Lighting Supplies, Engine Management & Ignition/Injection System and Hybrid/Electric Vehicle.

What is inside of expensive batteries last longer than cheaper batteries?
the most common non rechargeable battery is alkaline batteries. the more expensive batteries contain more lithium. the lithium batteries last a lot longer.
you can also buy heavy duty batteries. although it sounds like they should last longer..they don't. heavy duty batteries are actually a step down from alkaline.
What are some practical applications of floatation?
