AC Electricity

AC Electricity

 AC stands for alternating current.

  • Many of you may be having bit knowledge of this as this is current that you get from your socket at home
  • In America it is around 120 Volts And in India it is 220-230 Volts and 60 Hertz.
  • In DC the waveform is straight line but in AC you can see a wave in the above image
  • As its name indicates that this is alternating in nature its polarity reverses according to time and we can study it if we know the frequency ie: Hertz
  • In India it is 60 Hertz mean it changes its polarity in 1/60 sec.As the formula is Time=1/frequency
The flow of electrons changes at every 1/60 sec and this concept of AC is very important to study the components like capacitors and to know that which component supports AC and which supports DC.
As many of you must have question in your mind that why we use AC and not DC for daily use in our appliances.
  • It is because AC is easier to transmit long distance and its voltage can be easily increased or decreased using the transformers
  • As you must have seen on electrical towers those black insulator longer the insulator greater is the resistance

Android O (Android Operating system)

There are many kind of changes and improvements in this new version of Android OS. Increased Ability of the mobile:- aptX bluetooth streaming :-   High quality audio codec is supported for streaming to bluetooth Headsets and Speakers Adaptive icons give devs and OEMs easy shape masks, extra effects :-  "an OEM like Samsung or HTC will provide a unifying mask, which will allow developers to integrate almost any existing app icon into the broader user interface with minimal effort, and no extra graphics work on the icon itself." Neighborhood Aware Networking (NAN) mode for WiFi :-  "You can think about NAN as a combination of WiFi Direct and Nearby. Two hypothetical phones with NAN could find each other and connect without any additional apps or configuration, allowing them to share data at high speeds." Picture-in-picture video for all devices and new windowing features :- "The gist is that when watching video on Android O, you'll be able to shr...

C Programming #8 (Case Control Instruction)

In Programming we come across some situations where we have to choose from number of alternatives and choice should be specific to condition so the control statement that allow us to make a decision from number of choice is called as switch or we can say switch-case as they are used together. The switch statement looks like : switch (integer expression) { case constant 1: do this; case constant 2: do this; case constant 3: do this; default: do this; } In these case do this is the command statement that is to be followed when case is satisfied Example: #include<stdio.h> int main() { int i=2; switch(i) { case 1: printf("I am in case 1\n"); case 2: printf("I am in case 2\n"); case 3: printf("I am in case 3\n"); default: printf("I am in default"); } return 0; } Output of the program will be : I am in case 2 I am in case 3 I am in default But this is not the output we needed this program should give us...
