Test 2 Flashcards
Which module is added the opposite way of resistors
Capacitors
Which module is added like resistors?
Inductors
What is a dielectric?
A material through which virtually no current flows
What are examples of dielectrics
Air, polyester, porcelain, clay, glass
What measures how good a capacitor stores energy?
Permittivity
What is the most common type of capacitor in computers?
Ceramic
What do diodes do
Only allow current to flow one way
What does masking do?
Selectively dope p or n
Why do we use NAND and NOR instead of AND and OR
To use fewer transitors
What is a 1 represent in a truth table?
5V
When voltage is constant what is the current through a capacitor?
Zero
What would an abrupt change on a capacitor’s plates require?
Infinite current
Capacitors in parallel have the same?
Voltage
w=(1/2)C(v^2)
Formula for work relating to capacitance and voltage
C=(q(t))/(v(t))
Capacitance vs change in charge over change in voltage
How does a capacitor act in DC circuits?
Like an open circuit
Where do inductors store energy?
In it’s magnetic field
Flux = (Flux Density)*(Area)
Phi = BA
V= L (di)/(dt)
Voltage = Inductance * change in current over time
What is an Henry
Unit of inductance, 1 Volt Second per Ampere
