COMMON QUESTIONS FOR EDC/WS LABS

WHAT IS THE DIFFERNECE BETWEEN

THOERY AND PRACTICE ?

Theory is abstract: Practical is specific and concrete. Example: Type: Carbon film CF Value : 1000 ohms Tolerance: 5 % Wattage: 1 watt. Style : axial. Size : 4 x 20mm

R 1000

BASIC COMPONENTS PASSIVE COMPONENTS R,L,C ACTIVE COMPONENTS D,Q,Z,FET,SCR etc.

COMMON QUESTIONS

SYMBOLS, PHYSICAL IDENTIFIATION ELECTRICAL CHARECTERISTICS VI CURVES, PARAMETERS , , , PIV, RELATION BTWN PARAMETERS.

TOOLS USED
NOSE PLIER, CUTTER, SOLDERING IRON etc

INSTRUMENTS USED
VOLT METERS,MILLI AMMETRS MULTIMETERS, DMM OSCILLOSCOPE, POWER SUPPLY, FUNTION GENERATOR etc.

QUESTIONS ON PASSIVE COMPONENTS

*I HAVE ONLY 1/4 w RESITORS. I WANT 10K 1W. HOW CAN I MAKE ? SOLUTION: 2.5 K 1/4w RESITORS 4 IN SERIES. OR 40K 1/4w RESITORS 4 IN PARALLEL.

COLOR CODE OF RESISTORS.

WHAT IS COLOR CODE FOR 1.5K 5 % (Br Gr, R , Gold) 82K 10% (Grey,R,Or Silver) 39 M 20 % (Or, Wh, Bl ) 2.2 OHM ? (R,R, Gold, Gold).

MEASUREMENTS ON PASSIVE COMPONENTS.

AN ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR 100MFD measures 90 MFD. IS IT ACCEPTABLE ? YES Electrolytic capacitors will have Tolerance 20 % to + 40 %

A RESITOR IN DIODE CHARACTERISTIC EXPERIMENT AS SHOWN IS USED. What wattage rating is required ?
Maximum current= 30/1=30ma Power dissipated in R= vxi=30x30 =900mw . Practical value 1watt
0-30m a R1 1k +

A
D1 1N1183

v 30

Change V , max current find R & Wattage.

QUESTIONS ON AMMETERS AND VOLTMETERS WHAT IS * INTERNAL RESISTANCE OF IDEAL AMMETER ? Ans: ZERO. IDEAL VOLTMETER ? ANS : INFINITY. why ? justify

QUESTIONS ON MULTIMETRS, DMM IS ANALOG MULTI DC OR AC METER? HOW SEVERAL RANGES ARE ACHEIVED? HOW CAN YOU CONVERT AMMTER TO VOLTMETER ?

WHAT IS LED / LCD ? WHAT CAN DMM MEASURE? WHAT DO U MEAN BY 3 DIGIT DMM?

SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO WORK SHOP LABMATERIALS WHAT IS PCB ? WHAT IS DICLAD,SINGLE CLAD/ WHAT IS CHEMICAL USED FOR ETCHING ? WHAT DRILL BIT HAVE USED FOR R. WHAT IS SPEC OF SOLDERING IRON. WHAT IS SOLDER MADE OF? WHAT IS FLUX ?WHY DO U USE ? TYPES OF RESISTORS ,CAPACITORS,INDUCTOR? SWICTHES,FERRITE CORES,KNOBS.

COMMON QUESTIONS TO EDC/WORK SHOP LABINSTRUMENTS OSCILLOSCOPE REGULATED POWER SUPPLY FUNCTION GENERATORS MULTIMETER,DMM DC MOVING COIL V,ma meters.

KNOWLEDGE OF ELECTROMECHANICAL COMPONENTS. FUSE, fast blow off/slow blow off. function,construction. What is fuse electrically?

BINDING POST,SOCKETS,KNOBS, BANANA PLUGS,BNC,CONNECTORS.

WIRES/CABLESS/S,MULTI STRAND. SHIELDED CABLES,HOOK UP WIRES.

KNOBS: screw,collet, concentric, pointed, dials etc.for ,1/8 inch. SWITCHES: spst,dpst,sping loaded, rotary, slide,toggle,lever, etc.. TRANSFORMERS: power,audio,radio, pulse, winding wires,en cu wires. Coils: air core, rf, bifilar, RELAYS:function. HARDWARE: screws,nuts sizes(BA/mm),head styles. slot/star types.

KNOWLEDGE OF OSCILLOSCOPE SINGLE/DUAL TRACE modes XY, component tester modes. Band width,rise time relation. Uses:

BLOCK Diagram of CRO. Double beam/dual trace

Why sweep is saw tooth?

SHOW YOUR KNOWLEDGE IN REPORT ? How ? ?

VERY SIMPLE Make it more practical in aim, apparatus, procedure, description, curves, and choosing measurement points. see a simple example.

AIM: forward,reverse characteristics of given diode under its ratings. APPARATUS: Components: Si diode 1N 4007. 1no. CF resistor 1K 5 % 1w..1no. insruments: DC regulated power supply0-30v..1no Dc moving coil milli ammeter 30mafsd. 1no 3 digit DMM LCD type 1no. others: Bread board, S/S hook up wires.

IMPORTANT HINTS.

TALK POLITELY & CONFIDENTLY. EXPLAIN WITH FIGURES IF U CAN. BE PRECISE AND SHORT. DO NOT BE IN HURRY TO ANSWER. YOU CAN DO WELL.

ALL THE BEST..

BE PRACTICAL
GOOD LUCK.. Prof. K.Appa Rao.
