Car Radio Backup System: Electrical Explanations

AI Thread Summary
A backup system for car radios is essential to retain memory settings when the radio is removed. The discussion focuses on the electrical mechanisms that can achieve this, such as using a capacitor or a small battery to provide temporary power. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the radio's power requirements and the potential for using a relay to manage the power supply effectively. The conversation also touches on the need for proper wiring to ensure the backup system functions seamlessly. Overall, the goal is to create a reliable solution that maintains radio memory without interruption.

Sounds like a school asssignment. What is the context of the question? What have you come up with so far?
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
