  • What is Water Pollution

    What is Water Pollution

    Although some kinds of water pollution can occur through natural processes,it is mostly a result of human activities.We use water daily in our homes and industries. The amount of water used is about 150 gallons per day person in the country. For millions of years,the water we have has been able to do this because…

  • What is Fossil Fuels

    What is Fossil Fuels

    Fossil fuels i.e.,coal, petroleum and natural gas are the fuels of the modern day.Most of the urban population consumes energy from them.But these fossil fuels take several millions of years to form. These resources are those in limited supply and cannot be replaced. Once they are exhausted we will really be in trouble. Therefore,we should…

  • How is I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) measured?

    How is I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) measured?

    Right from childhood,an individual’s level of intelligence grows with age. I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) is commonly used as measurement of an individual’s level of intelligence. I.Q. can be measured by a set of carefully designed tests,such as identifying objects, answering general questions and solving simple arithmetical or logical problems. If he performance of a child is…

  • Power Management Software in Linux

    Power Management Software in Linux

    Many SoCs use Linux as their operating system because its open source nature allows it to be easily customized and adapted to the architecture specific to a device.Linux has rich and somewhat complicated power management  capabilities which would take an article of its own to describe in full.In this selection we will provide a very…

  • Give the specification of power amplifiers

    Give the specification of power amplifiers

    , , , ,

    The specifications of different types of power amplifiers are tabulated below- Class-A Power Amplifier (i) Output current flows during the entire cycle of the A.C. input signal. (ii) The operation of the amplifier is restricted to smaller central region of the load line,so that it can operate in the linear region of the load line. (iii) The circuit efficiency…

  • What do you understand by class-C amplifier and write down the characteristics of class-C amplifier

    What do you understand by class-C amplifier and write down the characteristics of class-C amplifier

    ,

    A class-C amplifier is one in which the operating point is selected so that the output current or voltage is zero for more than one half of an input sinusoidal signal cycle.This amplifier is the most efficient power amplifier.It can produce more load power than that of either class-A or class-B amplifier.A class-C amplifier has…

  • Enlist the advantages and disadvantages of class-B push-pull amplifier over class-A amplifier

    Enlist the advantages and disadvantages of class-B push-pull amplifier over class-A amplifier

    ADVANTAGES – (i) The circuit efficiency of a class-B push-pull amplifier is much higher than class-A amplifier.The reason for this is that no power is drawn from the D.C.power supply Vcc under no signal condition in class-B push-pull amplifier. (ii) The use of push-pull system in the class-B amplifier eliminates even order harmonics in A.C. output…

  • What are the advantages of negative feedback

    What are the advantages of negative feedback

    ,

    (i) Highly stabilized gain. (ii) Reduction in non-linear distortion. (iii) Increased bandwidth,i.e.,improved frequency response. (iv) Increased stability of circuit. (v) Less amplitude distortion. (vi) Less frequency distortion and less phase distortion. (vii) Increases input impedance and decreases output impedance. In other words,the input and output impedance and decreases can be modified as required. (viii) Reduces noise and less harmonic distortion. (ix) The transfer gain Af of…

  • Differences between positive feedback and negative feedback

    Differences between positive feedback and negative feedback

    ,

    POSITIVE FEEDBACK (i) If the feedback signal (voltage or current) is applied in such a way that it is in phase with the input signal and thus increases it,then it is called a positive feedback. (ii) it is a regenerative or direct feedback. (iii) Positive feedback increases the gain of amplifier. (iv) It produces excessive distortion. (v)…

  • What are different methods of forecasting

    What are different methods of forecasting

    The following are some important methods of forecasting- (i) Extrapolation-Extrapolation is one of the simplest and important method of forecasting.It is depended upon the reasonable,expectation that the variable will follow its already established paths.Extrapolation let the variable will follow its established pattern of growth.Therefore the main aim is to determine accurately the appropriate trend curve and the…
