Why is it preferred to use a clamper circuit rather than a DC source to shift an AC source upwards on a voltage-time graph?Both require a battery(DC source) so isn't it cheaper than having to use some extra elements like capacitors and diodes?

Dear Forum Members,, I would like to learn photovoltaics. There are some parameters like V(open circuit), Ishort, fill factor etc. And also i would like to learn the graph of intensity to Voc and Ishort. Could you suggest me to which source i need to look? Thanks

Alright. So I'm getting two different solutions depending on how I look at this problem, and I know one is correct but I don't know why the other would be incorrect. So, given this general circuit of a constant current source driving an RC circuit in parallel: Now, what they tell me in class...

My question is about the speed of light. Our current understanding of light says that light is constant for all observers, and uses time dilation to explain this. Have we proven this? The speed of light emitted from a stationary object is equal to C. The speed of light emitted from a moving...

A radioactive source emits particles at an average rate of 1 pe second. Assume that the number of emissions follows a Poisson distribution. The emission rate changes such that the probability of 0 or 1 emission in 4 seconds becomes 0.8. What is the new rate? Thanks.

If a source emits high frequency electromagnetic wave, for example gamma rays, does it imply that it also emits all the waves of lesser frequency?

In this circuit,first there will be voltage drop in the internal resistance of the voltage source.Mostly,the voltage source is assumed ideal in circuits,however,here a practical voltage source is assumed. So,there will be voltage drop in the internal resistance of the voltage source which will...

The speed of sound is 761.2 mph, or, according to my math, 1116.5 fps. If you are 8 ft away from the source, how long does the sound take to reach you? What is the formula for doing this? I divided 8 into 1116.5, and got 139.5 - but that doesn't seem to tell me anything. Obviously, the answer...

Earth is moving through space. If I throw a ball straight up, it falls down to me and is not left behind. This is obviously because it already carries the momentum of Earth's movement. But if I fire a photon straight up, does it also carry a velocity component in direction of Earth's movement...

Instead of using a single source and two slits, imagine just using two sources the same distance apart as were the slits... The two sources are controlled by a device that has two modes of operation, selected by a two position switch labeled D and R: D is "determined" - the emission from the...

good evening! My question is the following: it is well stated that energy is conserved in any isolated system, and we can in most circumstances expand our system to a many-steps conversion of energy, but always conserved. The classic example could be the energy of the sun stored in form of...

I don't usually need help in locating software, but I'm having a heck of a time tracking down a good open-source bit of software which solves integer programming problems using arbitrary precision! If I don't find one soon, I'll need to write it myself. Which I don't mind, but it's silly to...

The speed of light from a moving source of light is usually recognized indirectly, based on various explanations of phenomena. The speed of light is fairly simple directly measurable on the basis of autonomous and separate measurements of the frequency and wavelength of the light. Is a similar...

Looking at a humble smoke detector - a metal plate with some alpha source on one side. I guess the fission products / apha etc emitted in one direction are absorbed into the metal, and the opposite direction go into space. So there should be a minute net force ? Would that be useful as a "sail"...

So I was doing some studying and got a question on why the rate of expansion of the universe was increasing, and it got me thinking. Newton's first law states that an object in motion will remain in motion with a constant speed unless an external force acts upon it. If the expansion of the...

Can anyone enlighten me as to why the total thermal energy of a star will increase with time if the star has no nuclear energy source?

If an electron starts from rest 85.0 cm from a negative fixed source charge of -0.135 micro coulombs we use the equation ke final - ke intial + pe final - pe intial. In solving you use ke = pe which appears to cancel out the inital kinetic and potential energy but how can the initial potential...
