    How to design discrete circuits for transistor beta changes?

    In my circuits/active devices course we had to make amplifier designs with various type of transistors (BJT, JFET, MOSFET). In each design the transistor beta parameter played an important role in deciding which resistors to use in the final amplifier circuit. This beta parameter changes widely...

    Help in trying to build microcontroller powered Chess Board

    Hello all, as the title states I'm trying to build an arduino powered chess board. The chess pieces will have magnets on the bottom and each square of the board will be equipped with a reed switch for detecting the presence of the magnetic field produced by the magnet. I recently tried this out...

    Entering a Differential Equations

    This is a first course. That list is a bit intimidating since I haven't had a lick of linear algebra. haha

    Entering a Differential Equations

    I'm entering a differential equations course this coming semester. Is there anything I should review in the coming weeks?

    Linking Lower Voltage and Higher Voltage systems?

    Linking "Lower" Voltage and "Higher" Voltage systems? I'm an undergraduate in EE (entering sophomore level) and I have been wondering about how a low voltage control system is connected to a relatively higher-in-voltage system. (An example would be how a thermostat turns off and on a heater or...

    Battery Charger Considerations?

    Right, what I meant is I would think current would flow more into whichever battery has the lower internal resistance. But it seems I don't have to take that into consideration at all... Here is a recommended charger by the manufacturer. I see 600 mA is the output current. What should I notice...

    Battery Charger Considerations?

    Thanks, I've been coming to this forum for a while. Just haven't joined until today. Since that's the case, should I try and match the internal resistance of one battery to the other? The way I'm thinking of it right now is if one of the battery's internal resistance is higher than the other's...

    Battery Charger Considerations?

    A friend of mine lost his battery charger for his airsoft gun and he naturally comes to me for electrical help. Problem is, I'm freshmen level right now. I looked up how to hack and build a basic battery charger, my question is do the internal resistance/impedance of the batteries matter when...
