product of the circuit resistance and the circuit capacitance. It is the time required to charge or discharge the capacitor, through the resistor. Equipment: Two resistors Two capacitors Power Amplifier One DMM Interface box Computer Theory: When a uncharged capacitor is connected across a DC voltage source, the rate at which it charges up decreases as the time passes. At first, the capacitor is easily charged because there is very little charge present on the plates, but as charge

knowledge for any professional who is passionate about their chosen profession (Willson, 2010). For example, a professional Software Engineer may wish to consider membership an organization that is specific to Software Engineering. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a non-profit organization that develops, defines, and reviews IT related standards and guidelines. The IEEE developed such standards as 802.11i (wireless network) and is considered to be the leading authority

Wire-Map Testers A wire-map tester transmits signals through each wire in a copper twisted-pair cable to determine if it is connected to the correct pin at each end. Wire-map testers detect transposed wires, opens, and shorts which are all problems that can render a cable useless. A wire-map tester consists of a remote unit that you attach to the far end of a connection and the battery-operated, handheld main unit that displays the results. Typically, the tester displays various codes to describe

will be there when it is needed, avoiding the drilling of any unsightly holes in the future. Outlet boxes can be purchased at any hardware store and should be fastened to the wall stud in the location that you want at the same height as existing electrical outlets. It is recommended to install the outlet box in the adjacent wall stud cavity. Any wiring system should have a suitable ground and wiring for your cable TV needs is no exception. When planning your wiring layout always take the point of

from 1.1KV to 750KV AC. Inspite of the well established service reliability, the PILC cables are being gradually replaced by less hygroscopic polymeric insulated cables, mainly XLPE. XLPE cables have distinct advantages viz, lighter weight, better electrical and thermal properties, less maintenance, and easier terminating and jointing procedure etc. Today XLPE cables are being extensively used in many countries all over the world. In 1959, Japan and USA commercialized XLPE cables upto medium voltage

Assignment 4 Contrast of Copper and Fiber Optics: Copper has been used in electric wiring since the invention of the electromagnet and the telegraph in the 1820s. The invention of the telephone in 1876 created further demand for copper wire as an electrical conductor. Copper wires in a cable may be bare or they may be plated to reduce oxidation with a thin layer of another metal, most often tin but sometimes gold or silver. Plating may lengthen wire life and makes soldering easier. Twisted pair and

Name: Date: 13.3 Ohm's Law A German physicist, Georg S. Ohm, developed this mathematical relationship, which is present in most circuits. This relationship is known as Ohm's law. This relationship states that if the voltage (energy) in a circuit increases, so does the current (flow of charges). If the resistance increases, the current flow decreases. Voltage (volts) Current (amps) = --------------------------------------------Resistance (ohms, ) To work through this skill sheet, you
