Continuous Discrete Impulse Signals Time

Click For Summary

Discrete time impulse signals are defined as being zero at all points except at zero, where they equal one. In contrast, continuous time impulse signals are also zero at all points except at zero, but they equal infinity at that point, with the total area under the impulse equal to one. The key distinction lies in the representation and behavior of the impulse at the origin, affecting their applications in signal processing. Understanding these differences is crucial for analyzing systems in both discrete and continuous domains. This knowledge is fundamental for engineers and scientists working with signal processing techniques.

DT: the function is zero for all points not equal to 0 and equals 1 at 0
CT: the function is zero for all points not equal to 0, equals infinity at 1, but the total area under the impulse is 1

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
