Discussion:

Using the measurements made in the procedure, calculate the quiescent current IE, and the internal emitter resistance re. The quiescent current IE and internal emitter resistance re can be calculated using the DC analysis carried out in Step#1 and Step#2 of the procedure. The DC voltage measured across RE is used to measure the biasing current across the emitter of BJT. The voltage is measured to be 793mV. Since RE = 1KΩ, so: IE=VERE=0.7931000=0.000793A=0.793mA.

Now, we can calculate the internal resistance of emitter using the formula provided in the procedure. So:

re=0.026IE=0.0260.000793=32.786Ω

Using the values obtained in the experiment; draw the small-signal ac equivalent circuit for the amplifier.

In this part, we will draw the small scale ...

A DC circuit consists of a source (e.g. battery or power supply) and a load (e.g. light bulb or electronic instrument). The electrons move from the negative terminal of the source, towards the load and then return to the positive terminal of the source, i.e. the electrons flow in only one direction . This movement of electrons will continue as long as there is a closed circuit. In contrast, the source in the AC circuit is constantly changing. The voltage of the source builds up and electrons flow through the circuit in the same way as for the DC circuit. ...

Three phase induction motors

Introduction The three-phase induction machine is the most widely used among the rotating machines. An induction machine offers an almost constant speed within its normal operating range when operated off a constant-voltage, constant-frequency, and with the electric power source. The cost of purchasing these machines is very low, and they require little maintenance. However, speed control is difficult and very expensive. Therefore, the rotor current of the three phase induction motors is not induced by electrical connections, but rather the rotation of magnetic field.

Introduction

At times, industries require the temperatures to be kept below the ambient for some processes to be effective. To do so, they must design ways to eliminate the excess heat generated by machines and introduce an artificial room temperature lower than the ambient. They must effectively eliminate temperatures above the ambient. A refrigerator is thus required in these operations. This refers to a device that can maintain the temperature below the ambient. The primary objective of a refrigeration process is to lower the temperature through heat removal. Since its invention, refrigeration has seen used in many industrial and household ...

Perhaps the largest advantage of interpreting mixed methods data is comprehensiveness (Mason, 2006). In other words, examining a research problem through the collecting, analysis, interpretation, and ultimately, the connection or “mixing” data from different aspects or considerations; provides a more complete answer or understanding of the search problem than could be accomplished by only using one set of data. A second of interpreting mixed methods data, is that it will force the research to develop a better understanding of the research in the initial stages of the process. Without the ability to accomplish this, the researcher will not be ...

Museums play significant role in a cultural live of every nation. Hans Haacke called museums “managers of consciousness”. He explained, “museums give us the interpretation of history, of how to view the world and locate ourselves in it” (Leeuwen et al., 2013). I, personally, agree with this citation. Especially it is true for such nations as Welsh who are trying to identify themselves while being a part of Great Britain. Cardiff, as a capital of a state, performs as a cultural center of the nation with great amount of cultural sightseeing including museums. National Museum of Cardiff is a ...
