What's a diode..??? How does it act as a rectifier??

1 answer:

6 0

A diode is a semiconductor device that essentially acts as a one-way switch for current. It allows current to flow easily in one direction, but severely restricts current from flowing in the opposite direction.

A rectifier is a device that converts an Alternating Current (AC) into a Direct Current (DC) by using one or more contact diodes. ... In simple words, a diode allows current in just one direction. This unique property of the diode allows it to act sort of a rectifier by converting an alternating current to a DC source

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as,

$f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})$

Here,

$f_0$ = Frequency of Source

$v_s$ = Speed of sound

f = Frequency heard before slowing down

f' = Frequency heard after slowing down

v = Speed of the train before slowing down

So if the speed of the train after slowing down will be v/2, we can do a system equation of 2x2 at the two moments, then,

The first equation is,

$f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})$

$300 = f_0 (\frac{343}{343-v})$

$(300*343) - 300v = 343f_0$

Now the second expression will be,

$f' = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v/2})$

$290 = (343)(\frac{v_0}{343-v/2})$

$290*343-145v = 343f_0$

Dividing the two expression we have,

$\frac{(300*343) - 300v}{290*343-145v} = 1$

Solving for v, we have,

$v = 22.12m/s$

Therefore the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12m/s

Which of the below statements are true?

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance from the start point to the endpoint, displacement disregard the path taken or the amount traveled.

if you start at point A, then go to point B, and back to point A, the displacement is zero because you started and ended at the same point.

for this question, pretend you started at point A, went east 20 km to point B, and then west 8 km to point C, your displacement is 12 km. 12 km is the distance between point A and point C.

Two pieces of amber are hung from threads. Piece A is charged by rubbing piece A with fur. Piece B is charged by rubbing piece B

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

ieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of the same sign repel and charges of different signs attract.

If we apply this to our case, we have that part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

Also part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

If we use the transitive property of mathematics, pieces A and B must also have the same type of charges
