Hi everyone. I am stuck between Electrical Engineer and Software Engineer. I finished automotive program 3 years ago and currently work as auto mechanic. I like my job, but the pay isn't that high so i decided to go back and get a higher degree in engineering. Im currently taking all...

Hello, I have been researching operational amplifiers because I plan on using some in a circuit I wish to build, but have been stuck for awhile on the concept of the maximum current that can be handled by the non-inverting input. It appears as though the input bias current is the current...

I am posting this here with hopes that those of you will give me some industry experience! :) When it comes to your EE degree, where has yours taken you? Where did you expect to end up vs where did you actually end up? How do you feel about the communications field? Power electronics...

hi guys, this is my first post, but I've read many. so my problem is actually for an engineering class, but it's more math/physics related. i took DE last semester and i know how to solve linear eqs but the step function/force is throwing me for a loop. 1. Homework Statement we are given a...

Hi friends, I have a system (with unknown properties) which takes an input vector of length 10 and outputs a vector with length 6. I select Inputs vector 'I' which is a 1000x10 matrix, : 1000 samples of 10 elements. And outputs vector 'O' is a 1000x6 matrix,: 1000 samples of 6...

Hey everyone, I have built a circuit which includes a PIC. The logic is that if a specific pin gets a logic 1, the output pins will be activated and LED lights will flash. I am controlling the input pin with a magnetic reed switch. It was working great few days ago. However today the output...

I am self educated. I have created the Grand Unified Field Theory. I wrote a paper explaining the Theory in under 500 words. I have made that paper public. I would like to share it with other scientists. The rules on these forums clearly state not to use this place to share unpublished papers...

I was just curious. I have a program that asks for input file name and output name when the console is executed. I needed to run it and automatically pass these file names. I found a way.. test.exe <files.tmp where files.tmp has 2 lines. First line is name of input file, second is output...

Hi everyone, In the past I learned very good things about electronics and PIC controller in this forum. After that I have decided to design a circuit with a PIC micro-controller and simulated it in Proteus. However it doesn't work. Could you have a look and tell me what I am missing? The...

Hi, The book I'm reading references the fact that the impedance seen by the inverting input of an inverting amplifier is just the two feed back resistors, R1 and R2 in parallel. I'm having trouble seeing this. I understand how the basic voltage divider with one end at Vin and the other...

Hello PF! I've been quite busy on my faculty, doing my academic final work. Anyway I need somebodies expertise which involves analog multiplexers. I am using MPC506 Datasheet http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/mpc506 I tested it and gives nice result at 5 MHz sine wave, which is more than good for...

So I am well familiar with how bi-state logic (with 0s and 1s) works in gates. 0+0=0; 0+1=1+0=1+1=1 etc. What happens if an input to a gate is neither 0 nor 1, but has an high-impedance value? Will it disable the logic gate from working? Will the logic gate simply ignore that input? Anyone...

A 1200kg car goes a distance of 12 meters on a road, going from 4m/s to 18 m/s in 6 seconds. If 75,000J of energy is used as heat energy, calculate power in/out and efficiency. I believe I found the correct power output, by doing (.5)(1200)(14^2)/6 = 19600W, but I don't know how to find...

Hi, I'm writing a program for nqueens where inputs will be n and possibly a few existing queens already placed on the board. So far I've come up with one method, but got stuck on the second one. (hoping second method is more efficient) 1st method: - tabulate possible outcome of (n*n...

Hey guys, I need to have a signal alternate between two inputs for coax connectors based on a trigger. Do you guys have any idea where I could find this type of hardware or how to construct it? I come from a physics background, so I haven't worked with many circuits. Thanks

Why should the input follow the exact output in control systems (Transfer function). What if my system is an amplifier ? shouldn't that means that the output is the input * gain ? I can't understand the differences between dealing with a real system ( such as an amplifier) of dealing with a...

How can I set a Input file for a slab(2D) of material in Quantum ESPRESSO. And what is the difference between the input of bulk material (3D) and slab (2D) of the material ?

If an iron rod, inside two coils, incurs current going through the coils in the same direction, then the rod will increase in length and then it will begin to reduce in length. This is due to the magnetostrictive properties of the iron. When the currents oppose each other, so as to cancel...

Hi all, I am getting confused about how to calculate steady state error in a system. My particular transfer function is: G(s)= 4.992/(s^2+3s-1) Firstly, with an input step am I right in saying that the Steady State error will always be zero? If so can someone explain the reason behind this...

In the design of a State Space controller using state feedback the input to the plant is given as (where y=x & D=0): u=-Kx If there is a "reference input" then it would be: u=-Kx+r So the state feedback without the reference input simply drives all of the state variables to zero. When there is...

I have everything correct, that is when I put in a value for n=10 I get the right results however I want to enter in more than one number at a time to give me three different results like a vector like [ 10 20 30] but I am just clueless as to how to go about this. the dots are there because i...
