    How to Design an Oscillator for Producing Square and Triangular Waves

    I have a question as to how to design an oscillator that will produce a wave such as the one I have attached. It is a square wave, but with changing times, first half wave with time 20ms, and second half wave with 5ms. Also, how could i make this oscillator then produce a triangular wave.

    Should I Use Absolute Values in JFET Calculation?

    HI, When doing some calculations for a JFET (n-channel), I guess u all know this equation: Id = Idss( 1 - (Ugs/Up))^2 my question is, am i supposed to take the absolute values (modulus) of Ugs and Up? Id = drain current Idss = saturated drain-source current Ugs = gate-source voltage...

    Efficient Boolean Formula Evaluation Functions for Simplified SML Programming"

    hi, pleaaaaaaaaaase! i need help urgently! I am completely stuck! I have no idea what to do on this question, it reads thus: Given the following datatypes for boolean formulae and the truth values datatype boolexp = bez | beo (*0 and 1*) | bep of...

    What is the impedance across a resistor?

    hi, i want to ask, what is the impedance across a resisitor? isn't it just the value of the resistor? say i have a resistor of 50ohms, then its impedance is 50ohms, right?? thanks!

    Circuits and low pass filters

    You are given a low pass filter of 50nF and a resistor of 100 KOhm. a) Draw the circuit diagram; b) Calculate the 3dB frequency; c) Calculate the impedance of the series circuit of R and C and draw it in the complex plane at about 2 decades around the 3dB point and at the 3dB point. d)...

    Self inductance of a solenoid

    hey, i was just confused here, which is the right formula for finding the self inductance of a solenoid, given the number of turns, the cross-sectional area, the length, and the current. is it L = Uo x Ur x N^2 x A / L (Uo = mu o, Ur = mu r)?? pls if it is wrong, let me know the right...

    How would i find the speed of the water

    hi,here is my question. water comes through a shower, the speed in the pipe is Xm/s how does this change when the water comes through the little holes in the shower head. I have the number of holes and their diameter and also the diameter of the pipe. how would i find the speed of the...

    What is the optimal height for a lamppost to illuminate a circular walkway?

    hi, could anyone guide as to how to go about solving this question? [B]A cicular patch of grass or radius 20m is surrounded by a walkway and a light is placed atop a lamppost at the circle's center. At what height shoud the light be placed to illuminate the walkway most strongly? The intensity...

    Storage time of a transistor

    all I did was measure the storage time, delay time, rise time and fall time. I didn't do anything with the current. pls help! totally confused! Monsurat.

    Storage time of a transistor

    hi, could anyone pls tell me why the storage time of a transistor changes as u change the position of one resistor? During an experiment, when the resistor connected to the base voltage was reconnected to the ground i noticed that the storage time increased. pls someone explain to me why...
