AI Thread Summary
Mobile phones may vibrate near computers or monitors due to electromagnetic interference, which can trigger notifications or alerts even without an incoming call. Users might not notice this vibration if the phone is in a pocket or other locations. Testing the phone away from electronics can help determine if the issue persists. Additionally, loss of Wi-Fi or 3G data connection due to interference can cause phones to vibrate or make noise. This interference may also lead to increased battery consumption and affect overall performance.

Why mobile phone start to vibrate giving you the signal that the phone is going to ring if the telephone is near to computer, or monitor?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Do you have the phone on ring/vibrate mode?

Perhaps you don't notice the vibration before the ring when the phone is in your pocket or other location.
Have you tested it such as on the kitchen table away from other electronics to see if it vibrates.

You're saying the computer interferes with the phone causing it to vibrate in the absence of any incoming call?
 
My phone makes a noise to indicate loss of data connection. Is it possible that the phone is loosing WIFI or 3G data connection due interference?

Fringe reception of WIFI can cause heavy battery consumption (as can fringe phone connection) perhaps the OP (or you) have some notification set up which gives your vibration. Does the battery charge apparently suffer?
 
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...
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...
