    Study Notes

    Alternators and Synchronous Motors

    • An alternator operates at leading power factor when over excited.
    • A synchronous motor is considered over excited when operating at a leading power factor.

    Antennas

    • A micro antenna refers to a short antenna.

    Project Management

    • Fast track scheduling is primarily used to avoid future cost increases.
    • Fast tracking in projects involves beginning work before design completion.

    Architecture

    • In Harvard Architecture, code and data spaces are separated.

    Physics and Electrical Engineering

    • The force on a moving charge in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction.
    • The unit of conductance is the mho.
    • A transformer needs correct polarity for successful parallel operation.
    • Humming in transformers is caused by the vibration of the laminated core.

    Electronics

    • The output of a NOR gate is HIGH when all inputs are LOW.
    • The voltage gain of an amplifier with negative feedback can be calculated, where the gain without feedback is higher than with feedback.
    • In a cascade amplifier, reducing loading effect requires a high output impedance from the last stage and a high input impedance for the first stage.

    Thermal and Efficiency Concerns

    • Minimum voltage regulation occurs at a unity power factor load.
    • Heat loss in a conductor is affected by its resistance and the current applied.

    • The Zener current maximum can be calculated given specific conditions in a Zener regulator.

    Circuit Behavior and Components

    • The voltage source with the most current is across two 10 Ohm resistors in parallel.
    • Induction motors can use various types of braking, including dynamic and regenerative braking.

    Additional Electrical Concepts

    • To find the power consumption in advanced embedded systems, various factors like dynamic response must be considered.
    • An alternator operating idle will be less efficient primarily due to armature losses.

    Miscellaneous Calculations

    • Transformer saturation affects efficiency and losses.
    • The characteristics of AC circuits differ from those of DC circuits, emphasizing the importance of reactance and impedance in AC analysis.
