    Study Notes

    Hardware Data Entry and Exit Points

    • Microcomputers use ports for data entry and exit.

    Relative Permeability of Paramagnetic Substances

    • Relative permeability of paramagnetic substances is slightly greater than 1.

    Window Comparator Op-amps

    • A window comparator requires 3 op-amps.

    Resistor Noise Classification

    • Resistor noise is classified as white noise.

    Battery Life Calculation

    • A 100 Ah, 24V battery with a 300W electronic equipment load and a 50W light load will last approximately 6.86 hours.

    Oscillator Principle

    • A Klystron oscillator operates on the principle of velocity modulation and changing the speed of electrons passing through the tube.

    Single Decimal Digit Count

    • The highest count possible with a single decimal digit is 9.

    Chemical to Electrical Energy Conversion

    • A battery converts chemical energy to electrical energy.

    Materials with Free Electrons

    • Conductors have more free electrons than other materials.

    Dynamic Memory Information Storage

    • Dynamic memory stores information as long as power is applied and the memory is refreshed.

    Signal Generator use in Receiver Testing

    • Signal generators are used in receiver testing to generate either modulated or unmodulated signals. Receiver alignment and voltage/current graphs display are also used.

    Non-linear Resistor

    • A varistor is a non-linear resistor whose resistance changes with voltage.

    Parallel Cells

    • Parallel cells have the same voltage as one cell but have different current capacity.

    Ferromagnetic and Paramagnetic Materials

    • Materials with permeabilities slightly less than free space are called paramagnetic.

    Logic Circuit with Multiple Inputs

    • A NAND gate is a logic circuit with multiple inputs that produces a high output only when all inputs are low.

    Half Adder Construction

    • A half adder can be constructed using an AND gate and an exclusive OR gate.

    Resistance Measurement in Electronic Devices

    • The positive temperature coefficient is a term in electronic measuring devices where a metal increases its resistance when heated by a current passing through it.

    Output Voltage of Silver-Cadmium Cell

    • A silver-cadmium cell has an output voltage of 1.5V.

    AC to DC Conversion

    • The process of converting an AC input to a DC output is called rectification.
