Understanding Transistors: A Basic Guide
oops,thought you asked the original question (dual opamp). made a mistake. thought the person asking the original question was correcting you.(when all the while you were chastizing me) tried a more basic aproach, obviously it did not appeal. by all means, take the time to pick apart my...- don rigby

Physical interpretation of Reluctance
we know from ohms law that: e=i times r when we consider inductors in circuits with frequencies we substitute r with xc (inductive reactance). the formula is: Xl (inductive reactance)=2 * pie *f (freq.) * L the only way "the magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit composed of different magnetic...- don rigby

Learning to Read Electrical Schematics
[edited] That's a-r-r-o-g-a-n-c-e... and I'm not sure why the thread warrants it. Please be civil. -Russ- don rigby

Understanding Transistors: A Basic Guide
then why did you ask the question? are you sure what he said was wrong? some people think and explain above other's comprehension. prove him wrong, i dare you! i, and others will correct, and be humbly corrected. that is my reason for putting time in here, LEARN and refresh.- don rigby

Learning to Read Electrical Schematics
learn your theory, then pretend you are: an electron and/ or voltage, and/ or current, and/ or resistance, and/ or reactance, and/ or power, and/ or a magnetic field... and see how you would, in this state, act in the circuit (given theoretical and practical limitations).(wow, two original...- don rigby

Understanding Transistors: A Basic Guide
take it slow, focus on the reasoning for the teachings (they are all simple concepts, and yet we all dump them from memory too fast!). it all adds up to a bigger picture eventually. the few things i actually really, and honestly know are the following; 1/ knowledge is a function of ambition...- don rigby

Understanding Transistors: A Basic Guide
"ok- we are at the lower end of the transistors conductivity range at .7 volts base over emitter, now we apply .72volts the light bulb lights dimly, .73 volts brighter..." *****sorry, this is wrong and should read : ok- we are at the lower end of the transistors conductivity range at .7 volts...- don rigby

Why is Voltage b/w 220 & 330 Olm Resistors 0V?
ok the question I have is why is the voltage between the 220 olm resistor and the 330 olm resistor 0 V. be careful how you word your question! the answer to this question is that you are measuring the voltage on a 0 ohm conductor between r220 & r330- don rigby

Understanding Transistors: A Basic Guide
think of it this way: a transistor is very much like a light switch, except it can also vary the amount of light.(considering a bulb load, think speaker, think amplifier, think transmitter...).with regards to a standard pnp or npn doped transistor, we have to provide at least .7 volts more to...- don rigby

Logic Circuit Design: Controlling an Electromagnet with a Micro Switch
a logic cct is not required. you are simply using a switch to make and break a magnet (on one wall?). *** magnet energizes- moves to wall- switch opens- magnet de energizes and swings away from wall- switch closes- magnet energizes-...- don rigby

Practical Uses of NOT, OR, and AND Gates
not: let's say, you have a float in your basement that is nc (normally closed, like a light switch turned on, when not under water). you want to use this float for an alarm. if you wire this float directly to the alarm panel it will be on when the basement is dry! therefore we reverse the...- don rigby

Humming Capacitor: Causes and Solutions
what you are hearing is 60 hz hum probably due to bad capacitors in your amp. proof: put your speakers on another system and see if it goes away. double check by putting proven speakers on your system.- don rigby
