What is the most common means of transmission of microorganisms in the healthcare environment? Among patients and health care personnel, microorganisms are spread to others through four common routes of transmission: contact (direct and indirect), respiratory droplets, airborne spread, and common vehicle. Where do microorganisms live and multiply? Reservoirs are a place within which microorganisms […]
Where do we use measurement?

Do inductors pass AC?
Do inductors pass AC? The inductor stores electrical energy in the form of magnetic energy. The inductor does not allow AC to flow through it, but does allow DC to flow through it. What happens when AC is connected to capacitor? Once the capacitor is “fully-charged” the capacitor blocks the flow of any more electrons […]
