Oscillators that use an LC feedback circuit use an inductor and capacitor feedback to oscillate the output. These oscillators use a tuned tank circuit on the collector side of the amplifier. The inductor of the tank circuit is electromagnetically coupled with another inductor (like a transformer) which is across the base and emitter. A…

Oscillators with LC feedback circuits An LC Oscillator converts a DC input into an AC output. This output waveform can have a wide range of different shapes and frequencies, and can be either complex in shape, or be a simple pure sine wave depending upon the application. An Oscillator is basically an Amplifier with Positive Feedback,…

In your own words compare the applications of different amplifier types and classes. Types of Amplifiers: a) Linear Amplifiers – These amplifiers are used to amplify weak signals without distortion. They are commonly used in communication systems, audio equipment, and instrumentation. b) Non-Linear Amplifiers – These amplifiers are used to amplify signals with nonlinear…

Vibration of a vehicle passing a speed bump, there can be many variations when it comes to this calculus formula as there are many different factors to take into account such as the vehicles shocks(suspension), the vehicle’s tires as some have vibration dampening such as the tesla tires, and finally the road what I mean…

Amplifiers have many useful applications in electronics. Similarly, transistors can be used for more than just amplification. What are some of the types of amplifiers and what are their classifications? In your own words compare the applications of different amplifier types and classes. Explain what is meant by ‘TFT’ that you always find in…

This week I will be discussing induction cooktops Research and discuss an induction cooktop circuit and its requirements for cookware material.There are a couple requirements needs for a cooktop circuit to work properly, you will need a grounded 240-volt circuit protected with 40-50 amp breakers that terminate in an approved junction box mounted near…

An example of a simple series circuit is one where we have a voltage source and a resistive element (i.e., light bulb, heating element, or resistor) that is connected in a single enclosed path by conductors (i.e., copper wires). Theoretically, electrons travel from the voltage source through the copper wiring through some resistive element…

A series circuit is when the electricity has a one way flow, this is powered by a conductor that runs through one or two components. The analogy that I choose is lights, because it is close to the holidays I found that Christmas lights are a form of series circuit. When you grab your…

The analogy I’ll be using for this discussion is the toll booth analogy. It can actually be applied to both series and parallel circuits, but I’ll only address the former now. In this analogy, traffic represents current and a toll booth represents resistors (or resistance). Imagine traffic flowing on a busy highway and the…

Part 1: This includes an Excel spreadsheet that performs specific calculations. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, IIHSLinks to an external site., states on their site that “Providing adequate yellow signal time is important and can reduce crashes. Studies have shown that increasing yellow timing to values associated with guidelines published by the Institute of…
