When a user process is interrupted or causes a processor exception, the x86 hardware switches the stack pointer to a kernel stac

k, before saving the current process state. Explain why. Anderson, Thomas. Operating Systems: Principles and Practice (Volume 1 of 4) . Recursive Books. Kindle Edition.

Answer and Explanation

In x86, different stacks are used for kernel & user processes because of security purposes.

The kernel assigns the interrupt dispatch to a common kernel interrupt entry/exit

mechanism which saves pre-interrupt register state before summoning the registered handler(s).

When sending out an interrupt might launch a privilege and/or stack switch,

interrupts that occur while executing user process will switch to use the kernel stack in place at that point, without saving current state.

g A pump is required to deliver 100 gpm at a head of 100 ft, but the pump rated capacity is 150 gpm at a head of 100 ft. If the
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: valving the pump discharge to reduce the flow will only result in an increase in the water velocity according to the laws of continuity of flow.

Q = AV = constant.

The pump speed of 150 gpm is, and will remain constant. Valving simply reduces flow area A, which is balanced out by increased velocity V of water through the pipe.

This does not affect the pump speed Q (flow rate) and hence it remains the same.

How to draw the output voltage waveform rectifier
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Half-wave rectifier converts an AC signal into a DC signal. It's called a half-wave because it only rectify the positive part of an AC signal.

AC Signal = An electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative voltage.

DC Signal = An electrical signal that only has positive voltage.

Rectify = A fancy word for converting something.

Adding a capacitor helps the positive part of the signal stay on longer. This work because the capacitor stores energy kinda like a battery. During the negative part of the AC signal, the energy stored in the capacitor will be drained and used, then the cycle repeats.

The load resistor is just there to prevent a short circuit from happening.
