Capacitors in Red - Circuit Functions

AI Thread Summary
The capacitors circled in red serve crucial functions in the circuit. They allow AC signals to pass while blocking DC bias voltage, ensuring that preceding circuits remain unaffected. The 4.7uF capacitor specifically enhances gain for frequencies above 66Hz. Additionally, the source resistor in parallel with this capacitor helps to set the DC bias point more accurately. Understanding these roles is essential for optimizing circuit performance.

The capacitor allows the AC signal to pass, but blocks the DC bias voltage established by resistors so that any preceding circuit is not affected by it.
 
And the 4.7uF capacitor increases the gain above 66Hz. The source resistor in parallel with that cap is used to set the DC bias point more accurately.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
