AI Thread Summary

Finding the frequency of a radio without using its tuner is challenging, especially if the radio does not display the frequency. The discussion raises the possibility that the unknown frequency might be outside the range of standard tuners, making it difficult to identify with other devices. Users speculate that the radio's tuning mechanism could be unique or specialized, contributing to the difficulty in determining the frequency. The lack of display further complicates the process, leaving users unsure of how to proceed. Overall, identifying an unknown frequency without direct access to the radio's tuning capabilities remains a complex issue.

If you have a radio and it is tuned to a specific freq, is it possible to find out what that freq is without touching the radio? I have this radio that has a button that tunes to an unknown freq when press. I can't seem to tune to the unknow freq. with other radio. is it special or something? Maybe it is beyond the range of traditional radio tuner range.

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...
