Defects of a simple Electric Cell

4.2.1.1 Defects of a simple Electric Cell

The practical value and performance of simple cells is limited by the following defects:

(a) Polarization

In the reaction in the simple cell, hydrogen gas is evolved. It collects in bubbles around the positive electrode and-eventually insulate the positive electrode from the solution. This stops the reaction. This process is known as polarization.

It is minimized by use of a depolarizer. This is a chemical which reacts with the hydrogen to produce water e.g. manganese dioxide.

(b) Local Action

Impurities such as iron and lead embedded in the zinc electrode form small local cells. The impurity acts as the positive electrode and zinc as the negative. The formation of these local cells between the impurities and the zinc electrode is referred to as local action. It tends to wear the zinc electrode and the electrolyte; this happens even when the cell is not in use.

Local action may be minimized by using pure zinc, but zinc in its pure state is very expensive. Instead, a cheaper option is used alloying the zinc electrode with mercury. This process is referred to as amalgamation and resultant alloy is called zinc amalgam.

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.

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.
