Cells and Batteries Key Points


4.6 Cells and Batteries Key Points

1. An electric cell consists of two electrodes and an electrolyte.
2. Primary cells cannot be recharged, while secondary cells are rechargeable.
3. The zinc-acid cell is not commercially produced because it suffers from polarization and local action.
4. Polarization in cells is the process during which gas bubbles form on an electrode thereby insulating it from the chemical reactions of the cell.
5. Local action is the formation of local cells on the zinc electrode due to iron or lead impurities.
6. The Leclanché cell is the most commonly used wet or dry cell. It consists of a zinc cathode, a carbon anode, sal ammoniac electrolyte and a depolarizer.
7. The dry cell is manufactured in four sizes: D, C, AA and AAA.
8. The mercury cell is constructed small in size for powering small gadgets. It has a very high energy output for its size but due to its high mercury content it has been superseded by silver oxide, zinc air and lithium air cells.
9. Lithium air at the current has the highest shelf life and power output among the so called button or coin cells.
10. The e.m.f. of a cell depends on the materials of its electrodes and electrolyte.
11. Batteries consist of two or more cells connected together to supply large amounts of electric energy.
12. Cells are connected in series to achieve a higher effective voltage source.
13. Cells are connected in parallel to increase the effective current supply.

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream

TDA2030 complete tone control

At this time I present a series of amplifiers that use IC TDA2030, but this series is equipped with a tone control. Tone controls include Bass, Treebel, and Volume. Power amplifier and tone control has been put together in a single PCB. As well as its power supply circuit was also used as one with the power amp, and tone control. Making it easier in the installation and will look neat. Schematics Layout PCB PCB design This amplifier is a mono amplifier type, can be modif for guitar amplifiers. If not coupled amplifier (mic preamp) then you must deactivated potensio treble and bass, why? because if not using a mic preamp and still maintain potensio treble and bass sound input (input) from the guitar will not or the maximum discharge is not tight on the speakers. So you must deactivated a way to decide which directly connected capacitor with the tone control circuit, and capacitor were connected directly to potensio volume and input jack.
