of the main hazards of using inductances is electrical energy stored in the magnetic field. If a circuit containing an inductance is interrupted then the stored energy can release through air (forming an arc). This can destroy a switch contact‚ burn fingers‚ create other damage. In the circuit of Figure 1‚ show how to mitigate the risk (pay attention to polarity!). We give the elements in this circuit some simple values for the purpose of better description and explanation. Say V = 5V‚ R= 1 Ω and

BREADBOARD We should be familiar to the following things about a breadboard: * What is a breadboard and what is it used for? * How does it work? * Setting Up. * Limitations. What is a breadboard and what is it used for? A breadboard (or protoboard) is usually a construction base for prototyping of electronics. The term "breadboard" is commonly used to refer to a solderless breadboard (plugboard). It was designed by

Chapter 13 AC MEASUREMENT This chapter explains rectification for measurement and rectifying instruments. Knowledge of the circuit principles will help you use these instruments properly and measurements alternating current correctly. One of the most common and economical methods for measuring alternating currents is to rectify these currents and read the resultant DC on an analog or digital volt-ohm meter (VOM). You need to take many considerations into account when using rectification: what

A.C current meters Introduction An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A)‚ hence the name. Neither type of basic dc PMMC meter movement will correctly indicate an alternating current. There are‚ however‚ four basic types of meter movement that will indicate ac values:- Thermocouple Hot wire Electrodynamometer Iron-vane Electrodynamic ammeters An electrodynamic meter uses an electromagnet instead

Alternating Current Theory - J R Lucas An alternating waveform is a periodic waveform which alternate between positive and negative values. Unlike direct waveforms‚ they cannot be characterised by one magnitude as their amplitude is continuously varying from instant to instant. Thus various forms of magnitudes are defined for such waveforms. The advantage of the alternating waveform for electric power is that it can be stepped up or stepped down in potential easily for transmission and utilisation

Laboratory No 4 Electrical Systems 100 AC CIRCUITS INTRODUCTION The purpose of this laboratory test was to make comparisons between theoretical and practical results and to develop a greater understanding of factors affecting the operation of complex AC networks. SUMMARY OF RESULTS The error in the results ranges from 0.02% to 22.63% and the phase angle errors ranged from 0.02° to 17.27°. This suggests that part of our results were very accurate (series parallel RC network) and the rest

better results. Asynchronous circuits keep the assumption that signals are binary‚ but remove the assumption that time is discrete. This has several possible benefits: No clock skew - Clock skew is the difference in arrival times of the clock signal at different parts of the circuit. Since asynchronous circuits by definition have no globally distributed clock‚ there is no need to worry about clock skew. In contrast‚ synchronous systems often slow down their circuits to accommodate the skew. As feature
