AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding J-K flip flops and their timing diagrams. The user seeks clarification on the meanings of "set" and "reset," specifically how J = 1, K = 0 sets the flip-flop (making Q = 1) and J = 0, K = 1 resets it (making Q = 0). They express confusion regarding the timing diagram and the role of the clock in these operations. Ultimately, the user concludes that they have grasped the concept after further reflection. The conversation highlights the importance of timing diagrams in comprehending flip-flop behavior.

I'm trying to understand how the J-K flip flop works and how to draw the timing diagrams. I was reading about it on wikipedia and was wondering if someone could explain this to me: "Specifically, the combination J = 1, K = 0 is a command to set the flip-flop; the combination J = 0, K = 1 is a command to reset the flip-flop." What do they mean by set and reset? Does set mean the balue of Q goes to 1 and reset means Q goes to 0 or something and how does the clock affect it? I did look at the timing diagram provided and it was confusing. I understood the toggling part and table but not anything else. Thank you.

oh never mind, i understand it now. sorry.
 
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 '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...
