If you don't know, you probably should just go ahead and call a plumber! Lol. Seriously though, hand tight with a nut driver is usually adequate

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

What do electricians wear?

Electricians should wear clothing that is comfortable to move around in. Clothing should not be bulky and no jewelry should be worn. They should wear rubber work boots, a hard hat and goggles as well to protect their eyes.


Why should core saturation of a conventional impedance matching transformer be avoided?

With the possible exception of a variable reluctance transformer, you should always avoid core saturation of any type of transformer. When saturated the magnetic characteristics of the core material is radically changed and the coupling coefficients will be very different. Additionally, many transformers can overheat and be damaged.


How is electrisity stoped by rubber?

Any dry material that is an insulator is normally a poor conductor of electricity and that is the reason, if it is used in the right way, it can help to stop you from getting an electric shock. By itself rubber doesn't stop you from getting a shock or from being electrocuted. Just having some rubber in your pocket or having some rubber somewhere in the room with you will not stop you from killing yourself if you touch a high voltage wire. That is not a joke. Kids and adults have killed themselves because they did not really know what they were doing. Electric power is really dangerous and should never ever be played with.Dry rubber is normally a good insulator so wearing dry rubber gloves and dry rubber-soled shoes can help to protect you if you have to work with electric power but any experienced electrician will tell you this: Because electricity is so dangerous you must go to school to learn how to work safely with electricity - and pass the necessary exams - before you try to fix anything that plugs into receptacles or sockets in your home, in your school or anywhere else.


What are the safety precautions used in electrical safety?

Some of the basic safety precautions you should take when working with electricity include avoiding water, do not use frayed cords, and always turn off the main breakers. Using rubber gloves, goggles, and insulated tools are other safety precautions when working with electricity.


What is the theory of operation of a BJT amplifier?

In synopsis, little increase in the base terminal will result in a large change in the collector terminal. If you input uer "small waveform" to the base terminal, u will have a "big waveform" at the output!We kan bias the BJT using a DC voltage supply and resistors(most commonly and practically as potential divider bias). Note that this biasing should be done in order to achieve the active region of the BJT(B-E junction forward bias and B-C junction reverse bias such that VCE>VBE). In the active region, IC= hFE.IBwhere hFE (assume it as 100)denotes DC current gain or Beta, IC denotes the current towards the common terminal(C) and IB denotes the current towards the base terminal(B). Therefore, IC= 100IB. Whenever you change IB, IC will be changed in 100 times! That's how a BJT transistor has been constructed by modifying the p-n junction doping. Also that's simply how it amplifies....What if we input an a.c. waveform(mid-frequency about 10kHz) which is smaller in magnitude through the base terminal(i.e. with the help of a coupling capacitor) and take the output across C and the ground (i.e. with the help of a coupling capacitor)?Applying an alternating input across B-Ground results in chaniging the base voltage regularly(accordingly base current will also be changed). As explained earlier, change in the base current, will change the emitter current enormously(accordingly emitter voltage, VC). Hence voltage across C-Ground will be change largely. So uer input has been amplified!! As I mentioned earlier this output should be separated away across a coupling capacitor.Note that, this amplification is happened with the help of the supply voltage to the transistor. Supply voltage is the one who provides energy to increase the amplitude of your small signal.However, to analyse a BJT amplifier, we may have to perform both D.C analysis and a.c. analysis seperately[which will generally be teached in the Bachelors level].Regards,-R-
