ELECTROSTATIC DEFLECTION BASIC AND TUTORIALS by TRANSMISSION LINES DESIGN and ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING HUB on May 21, 2012Electric fields produce forces, just as do magnetic fields. You have probably noticed this when your hair feels like it’s standing on end in very dry or cold weather. You’ve probably heard that people’s hair really does stand straight out ju...

DIELECTRIC BREAKDOWN BASICS AND TUTORIALS by TRANSMISSION LINES DESIGN and ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING HUB on Jan 22, 2012DIELECTRIC BREAKDOWN BASIC INFORMATION What Is Dielectric Breakdown? Dielectric breakdown A dielectric material must possess: (a) a high insulation resistivity to avoid leakage conduction, which dissipates the capacitor energy in heat; (b)...

STATIC ELECTRICITY BASICS AND TUTORIALS by TRANSMISSION LINES DESIGN and ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING HUB on Jan 18, 2012BASIC INFORMATION ON STATIC ELECTRICITY What Is Static Electricity? Charge carriers, particularly electrons, can build up, or become deficient, on things without flowing anywhere. You’ve probably experienced this when walking on a carpeted floor...

WHY ARE POWER AMPLIFIERS NEEDED FOR AUDIO ? by TRANSMISSION LINES DESIGN and ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING HUB on Nov 30, 2011POWER AMPLIFIERS BASIC INFORMATION Power Amplifiers In Audio  For the most part, the processing of audio signals can be performed with only minuscule power, either input or dissipated. Analog signals pass through the majority of the overall sig...
