    Finding the current in the drain of a MOSFET

    Homework Statement The equations provided require the oxide permittivity (εox)as well as the oxide thickness (tox) to determine the gate oxide capacitance per unit squared (Cox). How to solve this? Homework Equations In triode region: ID = μn * Cox * W/L * ((VGS-Vth)* VDS - VDS2/2 In...

    How to find force from volumetric flow rate and pressure

    (b) We can relate this linear relationship to Fthrust = F0-γv [Note: γ is a constant representing the slope of the F(v) line]. For each fan, based on your approximation in (a), what are the values for F0 and for γ?

    How to find force from volumetric flow rate and pressure

    If pressure is 0, volumetric flow is high, and small pressure * area is small force. As pressure increases, there will be more force with less flow. Makes sense. From start the fan is operating at atmosphere. I get high results when I search for one atmosphere in mm of water. Am I on the right...

    Engineering Zener voltage controlled circuit design

    If the radio does not draw any current, than the circuit is the battery, the resistor and the Zener. The current would not change. When learning forward bias diode voltage regulation, when the load changes current, that change is added or removed from the diode and the change in voltage is...

    Engineering Zener voltage controlled circuit design

    The current law must be obeyed. If the radio does not draw the current it must pass through the zener. How can this be possible if the zener cannot handle more than 30 mA?
