Why silicon is mostly used as a semiconductor material in electronic industry as compared to germanium and other semiconductor material?

Mostly because of their cost but also because silicon transistor have faster switching properties and are far more resistant to damage by heat. Silicon transistor also have a much wider operating band.

What year was DVD first introduced?

What we know as DVD was invented and produced in 1995 by Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, and Philips. DVD's offered a higher storage capacity than Compact Disc (CD's) while having the same dimensions.

Prerecorded DVD's are mass produced using molding machines that physically stamp data onto the DVD. Such disc are known as DVD-ROM. On these data can only be read and not written or erased. Finally blank recording CD's and DVD's were produced (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R & DVD-RW). There are a few types, writable and rewritable (RW) which can be written to erased and written to again multiple times.

Before DVD, Video Cd (VCD) was on the market in 1993. In that same year, two new optical disc storage formats were being developed. One was Multimedia Compact Disc (MMCD) backed by Philips and Sony and the other was the Super Density Disc (SD), supported by Toshiba, Time Warner, Matsushita, Electric, Hitachi, Mitsubishi Electric, Pioneer Thomson, and JVC.

Now with the invention and distribution of BluRay and even Bluray R, DVD's are all but obsolete.

I could continue through the history of other means of media storage, but we'd be here for a lot longer. I do believe that covers your question and then some.

How do electronic devices influence us?

Technology influences us in many different ways, we use technology to help us, to benefit having it there in situations and to guide us to our goals. Technology can be very important to have and very bad to have. As more and more people get influenced by technology the more people choosing technology for a career. This could be bad in many different cases. The main thing is, our world is in need of workers, builders and infrenstructure. If we have to many people designing the Building, Car, Boat etc. Who is actually going to build it. But technology is also good to assist you with tasks you desire to do. How do you know that?

What is meant by interference?

'Interference' is when something such-as radio-waves cause an electronic product to function abnormally. It can also be when things such-as these radio-waves are prevented from travelling by something like a microwave (the radiation is the culprit in this case).

Why do electronics get destroyed when a magnet is near it?

Magnets do not destroy electronic equipment but they do influence their behaviour of shadow mask Colour Television Tubes in that the shadow mask can become manetised from a magnet close by. Magnetization causes incorrect beam landing on the pic tube which shows as multi coloured patches on the screen . The effect can be cancelled out by degausing the CRT using a degauss wand . All CTV have an auto degauss system to take care of impurities caused the earths magnetic field .

What are the Advantage and disadvantage of electronic diary?

Advantages:

- Available for you to update no matter where you are (not at home, not in state, not in country)

- Usually backed up so no chance of loosing valuable data

- Special controls (depending on service) can limit/control access

- Handy for keeping family members involved in meaningful events

Disadvantages:

- Possible to be hacked and all of your personal info becomes public

What is UP Counter in Digital Electronics?

An up counter is simply a digital counter which counts up at some predefined increment. A Binary Up Counter with 'n' stages can count up to 2n states.

If we are implementing Up Counter with flip flops, this 'n' stages becomes the number of flip flops. For example a 4 bit Up Counter can count from binary 0000 to 1111, i.e 24=16 states.

A detailed design and working animation of of Binary Up Counter is given in the related link section below

What common everyday substances are electrically conductive?

The pat answer is probably that a good conductor is a material that has a lot of free electrons in it. These electrons could be thought of as "unbound" to "parent" atoms, and that leaves them free to wander about in the material. When a voltage is applied, the electrons are more than willing to support current flow by moving through the conductor. There is a more sophisticated answer, and that is that the conduction band for a given material is low enough that it overlaps the Fermi energy levels of outer electrons in the atoms of the conductive material. The conduction band has a "threshold" energy, and it varies from material to material. Further, when valence electrons sit at Fermi energy levels higher than that "threshold energy" of the conduction band for that material, they're free to "help out" with conduction. And they will support it. In either model, recall that current flow is not the entry of an electron into one end of a wire and its emergence from the other. It is the entry of an electron into one end of the conductor, the subsequent "moving over" of electrons already in the conductor that are in the conduction band, and the emergence from the other end of an electron.

Factory installed Yes in most cases, after market you would need to check the policy. But remember if you have a dedutable you pay X amount first and the insurace pays the rest!

What is the purpose of an electronic scale?

Assuming you mean "How do you calibrate an electronic scale?", since most electronic scales are based on strain gauges, the operating system usually generates its own zero status at the start of the measurement. And the assumption is then made that the original calibration of the gauge is still correct. Which it probably is.

If you do wish to calibrate your scale, then you purchase some standard weights (strictly masses) and have these calibrated by one of the labs that provide traceability to the national standards. You may then calibrate your scale at several weight points against your calibration masses.

How many volts does an LED need to light?

That depends on the current. The formula P=IV (where P is power in watts, I is current in amps and V is voltage in volts) is how you calculate the power. So if the current is 2 and the voltage is 3 then P=2x3=6Watts. Use an ammeter to determine the current.

What makes a good battery?

Keeping the fluid topped up with distilled water (acid must cover top of plates to a depth of 5mm or between Max/Min on marks if you have then,DO NOT FILL TO MAX OR OVERFILL,

long runs to ensure battery gets fully charged,if not in use remove battery and fully charge,test each cell with a hydrometer to check when all cells are fully charged,don't rely on a volt metre,if you get one cell that shows low charge or dead after 12 hours charge cell is dead,bin battery!

don't expose battery to extreme heat or cold for prolonged periods.When you buy a new battery FULLY charge it before use.

Dont use your car for short runs too often,that kills batteries.

Make sure your charging system is working well,check fan belt tension and condition regulary and check operation of charging sytem with a volt metre.

At rest should be about 13v-13.8v when running under full load (Wipers on,heater on,lights on,heated screens on etc) the battery voltage with engine running should not drop below 12v at 1500rpm off load with motor running @ 1500 rpm should be 13.8-14.4v any higher and the charging sytem is faulty and will boil battery dry,if too low,below 12.5V under charging test chargeing system and find fault.

These are rough figures and your checking to make sure it doesnt dive to 9v for example when loaded with the engine running,if so battery or alternator are not working propperly and are probably worn out.

The regulator on alternators only last about 10 years before they start to die,they can be replaced and come together with a brush set attached to them,so you shouldn't need to buy a new alternator unless the bearings are gone or a winding has failed.

That should just about cover how to keep your battery tip top,oh also keep the exterior clean and make sure terminals are always tight/clean (NOT TOO TIGHT),when done up coat terminals with either petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or copper grease (Copper ease) to protect them from corrosion/water.Make sure connections to battery are clean and undamaged,replace any that are corroded/damaged etc.

Doing these things will ensure you get the longest life possible from your battery 10-15 years.Best thing in the first place is to avoid buying the cheapest battery possible,spend that bit more for a quality named brand battery with a good warrany,i.e BIG,VARTA,DELTA,BOSCH etc
