What does it mean if a circuit is in steady state? In electronics, steady state is an equilibrium condition of a circuit or network that occurs as the effects of transients are no longer important. Steady state is reached (attained) after transient (initial, oscillating or turbulent) state has subsided. Why does a capacitor act as […]

What are the three steps in the control process? Steps Involved in Control Process – Establishing Standards, Measuring Performance, Performance Appraisal and Correcting the Deviations. Basically the process of control involves three steps i.e.- (i) setting up standards (ii) performance appraisal and (iii) corrective measures. What are the 3 types of control? Three basic types […]

How does covalent bonding affect melting point? Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms. Due to the sharing of electrons, they exhibit characteristic physical properties that include lower melting points and electrical conductivity compared to ionic compounds. What type of bonding has the lowest melting point? Covalent Molecules Which bond is strongest […]

How do I find my 14 pin IC? Pin numbers The pins are numbered anti-clockwise around the IC (chip) starting near the notch or dot. The diagrams show the numbering for 8-pin and 14-pin ICs, but the principle is the same for all sizes. How do I know my IC type? Read the serial number […]

Is Yahweh mentioned in the Bible? In Genesis 4:26 (in the J story), it is said, “At that time people began to call on the name of yhwh.” In E, on the other hand, the name yhwh is never used until Exodus 3:14-15 when God gives Moses the name by which he is to announce […]

Is pivot point same as axis of rotation? is that pivot is a thing on which something turns; specifically a metal pointed pin or short shaft in machinery, such as the end of an axle or spindle while axis is (geometry) an imaginary line around which an object spins (an axis of rotation) or is […]

Which best describes the motion of an object? You can describe the motion of an object by its position, speed, direction, and acceleration. An object is moving if its position relative to a fixed point is changing. Even things that appear to be at rest move. Which formula is used to find an objects acceleration? […]

What planet spins the fastest? Jupiter What determines how fast a planet spins? The rotational speed is normally determined by the initial angular momentum when the planet formed, but may also be altered subsequently by large collisions (as for example the collision of the earth with another planet which gave us our moon). Why Jupiter […]

Is earthquake epicenter randomly distributed on Earth? Earthquake epicentres are not randomly distributed on earth. They occur wherever two tectonic plates meet. The collision of these plates leads to the occurrence of earthquakes and volcanoes. About 75% of world’s largest volcanoes and 90% of earthquakes occur along the Pacific Ring of Fire. How do you […]

What are the characteristics of mid-ocean ridges? Principal characteristics. Oceanic ridges are found in every ocean basin and appear to girdle Earth. The ridges rise from depths near 5 km (3 miles) to an essentially uniform depth of about 2.6 km (1.6 miles) and are roughly symmetrical in cross section. They can be thousands of […]
