Question

Accepted Answer

Ohm's Law relates voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits. AC is a changing current direction, while DC is constant. Analog signals are continuous, digital signals are discrete. Power dissipation in a resistor is calculated using P = I^2 * R.

Ohm's Law states V = I * R, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.
AC changes direction periodically, while DC flows in one direction constantly.
Analog signals have infinite possible values, while digital signals have finite discrete values. Example: Analog - sound waves, Digital - binary data.
Power dissipation in a resistor is calculated using the formula P = I^2 * R, where P is power, I is current, and R is resistance.
Impedance in AC circuits includes resistance and reactance, while resistance in DC circuits only considers the opposition to current flow.
A transformer is used to change the voltage level in electrical systems, either stepping up or stepping down the voltage.
Inductance is the property of a circuit element to oppose changes in current flow, causing a delay in current response. It is measured in Henry (H).
A diode allows current to flow in one direction only, blocking it in the opposite direction. Applications include rectification, signal demodulation, and voltage regulation.
