    Engineering Using the Locked Rotor Test to find parameters of DC motor?

    Thanks guys! I was confused because I searched through my textbook and it said that the no-load test was only for the AC machines and didn't mention anything about the DC. Hence, I used those equations I found on Wikipedia. I assumed that for a locked rotor test, the w would be 0. so V=RIa and...

    Ideal Transformers and finding the steady state current?

    I realized I made a mistake, the impedance should we Z1= 10 + j*60*2pi*10^-3 and Z2 remains the same... which would give me a Zeq of: 5.171+ j0.91. Umm, if I had a 60 Watt resistive load on the secondary side, with 120V, the current on the primary side must be 0.5A, which means the load would...

    Ideal Transformers and finding the steady state current?

    Homework Statement In the circuit shown the 120V, 60Hz source supplies the ideal load shown through an ideal 2:1 transformer. What steady state current would you expect to read on the rms ammeter shown (please find the picture attached)? Homework Equations Zeq = (1/Z1+ 1/Z2)^-1 Z1 =...

    Beta of a Transistor (both NPN and PNP), how would I do that?

    I tried a new design, and here it is: http://vantraveller.blogspot.ca/. Do you think this would provide a right measure of beta?

    Beta of a Transistor (both NPN and PNP), how would I do that?

    What I am confused about is, for a PNP transistor, because the current is coming out from the base, is it right to put a current source to keep the current to 0.1mA? If it is, and I have 1n4148 diodes and resistors to make it, how would I make a current source of of the Base current to keep the...

    Beta of a Transistor (both NPN and PNP), how would I do that?

    Hello, I am trying to design a circuit that can measure the BETA of a PNP and NPN transistor, I have an ammeter, and I have a design that makes IB going in 0.1mA, so that the current IC of the collector with a shifted decimal is the Beta we would like to measure. So I used a current source, and...
