Decoupling Capacitor Decoupling capacitors are mainly used to suppress high-frequency noise in the power supply signals. It takes small ripples, which could be harmful to the delicate ICs. It is also help in providing right amount of voltage supply to the circuit. If ever the power supply may drop temporarily its voltage which is a common thing, decoupling capacitor supply power briefly power to the circuit. That’s why such capacitors are known as bypass capacitors. As they act as the power supply
hand or a screw driver to change its value in between a fixed range. Now the method of calculating the value of the resistors is by comparing the color strips embedded on the component accordingly. 2.1.2 CAPACITOR Capacitor is an electronic device that is used to store electrical energy. They are only used to store the electrons and they are not capable of producing them. There are mainly two concepts for defining capacitance. The electrical concept is given below
However, the Zener Diode or “Breakdown Diode”, as they are sometimes referred too, are basically the same as the standard PN junction diode but they are specially designed to have a low and specified Reverse Breakdown Voltage which takes advantage of any reverse voltage applied to it. The Zener diode behaves just like a normal general-purpose diode consisting of a silicon PN junction and when biased in the forward direction, that is Anode positive with respect to its Cathode, it behaves just like
The basic principles of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). For any electric circuit, which consists of various passive elements (i.e. resistors, capacitors and inductors) the behaviour of the whole circuit to an applied ac voltage, is dependent upon both the behaviour of individual elements, and also on their arrangement in the circuit with respect to each other. If a dc direct voltage is applied to the elements that comprise the equivalent circuit, the resulting current can be measured

This paper gives the brief information of battery models. Moreover merits and demerits of these battery models are summarized. Battery is used to store energy basically
2.1 (c) Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) The total harmonic distortion is calculated as the ratio of the rms value of its total harmonic component of the output voltage and the rms value of the fundamental component. A total harmonics distortion is an evaluate of closeness in a shape between the output voltage waveform and its fundamental components. THD=√(E_rms^2-E_1^2 )/(E_rms^1 ) 2.1 (d) Distortion Factor (DF) A distortion factor shows the amount of harmonics that remain in the output voltage
A dc voltage source which is supported by a large capacitor feeds the main converter circuit, a three-phase bridge. This dc voltage source can be a battery, fuel-cell stack, diode rectifier, or capacitor. Six switches have been used in the main circuit; each switch consists of a power transistor and an anti-parallel diode to provide bidirectional current flow and unidirectional
with continuous supply current has been shown in Fig.3. The topology consists of two input capacitors Cin1 and Cin2, two switches Q1 and Q2 which are triggered 180 degrees apart, two freewheeling diodes D1 and D2, two phase inductors L1 and L2, an output inductor Lo and an output capacitor Co. The voltage stress experienced by the switches and diodes are reduced due to the presence of the input capacitors. In the interleaved structure the current flowing through the two phases must be equal. This
RECIPROCITY THEOREM If voltage is applied to terminals of an antenna A and the current is measured at another antenna B, then an equal current (bot amplitude and phase) will appear at terminals of antenna A if same voltage is applied to antenna B. Application of reciprocity theorem Equality of Directional Patterns Statement: 'The directional pattern of an antenna as a receiving antenna is identical to that when used as a transmitting antenna." Proof: The above mentioned antenna theorem is the outcome
Converter Operation Mode: This section will discuss a comprehensive discussion regarding the modes of operation of the boost type converter, and the effect on overall converter performance as well. There are two fundamentally different operating modes for the converter. The first operating mode is, continuous-conduction mode (CCM), where the energy in the inductor flows continuously during the operation of the converter. The increase of the stored energy in the inductor during the ON time of the
Figure9: transmission network V. PRINCIPLE AND DESIGNING Basic principle and relay design:- A short circuit fault on a power transmission line generates voltages and current signals of several frequency range which propagate away from the fault point in both directions along the transmission system with velocity close to the speed of light. It has been long recognized that the actual faulted position can be determined on line if the transient signals are time tagged at key points on the power system
One of the most commonly used dielectric materials used to construct dielectric EAPs is VHB 4910 tape by 3M as shown in figure~ ef{fig:2}. It is a clear, double sided acrylic adhesive tape used for bonding transparent materials. It is also highly elastic, with the ability to stretch over 400\% without damage (Zhang 2007). For ease of application, carbon black, also sold as lampblack, was used in experiments. More conductive electrodes such as copper and aluminum powder were found to be ineffective

Capacitor Investigation Report Aim: the aim of this investigation is to study capacitors charging and discharging. A capacitor is charged by placing it in a circuit with a resistor and a power source. When electrons flow round the circuit they can not cross the gap the capacator makes. A negative charge builds up on this side of the capacitor whilst on the other a positive charge because of this. A potential difference across the gap now occurs causing the charging to slow down. When
On Wednesday, the 13th of March 1991, American Cablevision of Queens, New York, sent the first electronic "Bullet". This so-called "Bullet" was in fact, an electronic signal directed to unauthorized cable boxes causing them to turn-off. Approximately 300+ unsuspecting customers then called the cable company to complain and were subsequently taken to court for cable theft. The "Bullet" works by ordering the computer processor within the cable box to lock-up if it is authorized for all channels. Since
later when Michael Faraday discovered a variable capacitor. He did this by measuring the varying capacitance of different dielectrics on capacitor.'(4) When the first aluminum capacitor was discovered, some thirty years after Faraday's work, the SI unit used measuring capacitance was named a farad (F) in his honor. 1F = 1 C / V In words: one Farad is equal to one Coulomb per Volt Since the farad is a large unit of capacitance, most capacitors have units of picofarads (pF) or nanofarads (nF)

Introduction Dielectric materials are insulators that make it harder for the electric field to penetrate the space within a capacitor; this is due to the theory of polarization. In Lab 4 (Parallel Plate Capacitor), the objective was to measure the dielectric constant (κ) of a textbook (paper) using a makeshift capacitor of aluminum foil. This was done through graphical analysis by the linearization of equation (1). The goal was to construct a linear graph in which the slope and slope error was calculated
