To determine

The way in which the DIAC operates.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The bi directional device that is used to control the phase shift in thyristors is called the DIAC. The DIAC can be turned in both the polarities forward bias and the reverse bias above a certain voltage.

The DIAC operates in the same way as the unijunction transistor. The DIAC operates in both AC and DC. The DIAC is used to trigger the TRIAC and other thyristors family device.

Correct answer only please. I will upvote. The velocity of a particle moves along the x-axis and is given by the equation ds/dt = 40 - 3t^2 m/s. Calculate the acceleration at time t=2 s and t=4 s. Calculate also the total displacement at the given interval. Assume at t=0 s=5m.Write the solution using pen and draw the graph if needed.
I want the steps of operation of the circuit, clearly in detail. Please. LV1

H=40cm. ⚫ a = 10, cm: This could represent the width of the duct. ⚫b=20, cm: This might be the height of the duct. ⚫L = 10, cm: This usually stands for the length of the duct in the direction of flow. ⚫H=40, cm: This could indicate the height of some component or another duct-related dimension, but the exact meaning depends on the experiment's context.
