Hello. Suppose we have a MOS capacitor (n-substrate). When we give negative voltage the majority carrier (electrons) are repelled from the oxide-substrate interface and move towards the bulk. Say the bias is -0.3 volts. The substrate is depleted and in steady-state. Suddenly if the bias...

Hey, this is not a brain teaser but i figured that creative people must visit this fprum so i thought I'd see what ideas I would get. I need to prepare a skit of any genre that incorporates a loud bang, a silver mirror or silver bottle and green fire and smoke. Three totally different things in...

Hi everybody, I had a simple question that I've never really thought about until I actually had to do it... If you input a single one frequency signal, will you get a whole new different frequency response? How would it effect the system? Or would it make sense if you inputed like a...

The step response of an LTI system is given by s(t) = e^{-t}u(t) . Find its response to the input u(t) - u(t-2) . Note: u(t) is the unit step function. So I have the solution, but I do not understand it. y(t) = s(t) - s(t-2) = e^{-t}u(t) - e^{-(t-2)}u(t-2) I really don't...

I have a damped linear oscillator, originally at rest in its equilibrium position [therefore, x(0)=0 and x'(0)=0]. It is subjected to a forcing function: F(t)/m = {0, if t<0 {a(t/tau), if 0<t<tau {a, if t>tau I have to find the response function. However, when I attempt to find the step...

hey guys... Say i have a second order system. From this i can establish a peak time, a settling time, and overshoot percentage... but what is my response time - is the settling time? Also is there some sort of rule of thumb for decreseing the response time?? like say, for example...

Hi, can someone explain to me, in simple terms, what zero input and zero state response mean? I know the terms should sort of be self explanatory in that zero input reponse is the response of a system when there's no input but how does that make sense? This is how I'm imagining it in my head...

hey something is really confusing me... we are given this impulse response h[k] = 2d[k] +((0.8)^k).u[k] + (2(-0.4)^k).u[k] where d is delta... anyway the question then asks: using the convolution, determine the ZERO STATE RESPONSE for an input signal x[k] = 2u[k+2] - 2u[k-4]. Now...

hi... how can i get A cos (omega t) + B sin (omega t) into this form: C cos (omega t + theta) ? does it equal to A+B cos (omega t - 90) ? i know it has to do with the underdamped response of an RLC circuit. i was looking into phasors as well. any help would be greatly...

There are a lot of barometers to keep track of! :smile: this thread is to try to keep together a bunch of signs of a changing situation in fundamental physics theory research and how it is perceived. I'm particularly interested in what's going on in the open media accessible to nonspecialist...

This thread would've fitted in a lot of categories, but as it's the mathematics I can't quite grasp, I decided to fit it here. I'll be treating the discrete case, so I suppose it's precalculus maths. Anyways, I know how to compute problems with the impulse response method, but I'm kinda baffled...

Hello. Gamma rays are about same wavelength as the diameter of an atomic nucleus. If one was to design a circuit that was resonant at a frequency near that range (say 300,000,000,000,000 MHz), the resonant frequency would not be far from an electron wavelength, so the impedance phase and...

Hello, I'm studying the attached circuit in my first order frequency response chapter, and I swear this thing is a second order circuit (in terms of the transfer function v1/v2), am I doing something wrong?
