B. Linear voltage regulator

Electronic systems usually receive a power-supply voltage that is higher than the
voltage required by the system’s circuitry. For example, a 9 V battery might be used to
power an amplifier that needs an input range of 0 to 5 V, In such case, we need to
regulate the input power using a component that accepts a higher voltage and produces
a lower voltage. One very common way to achieve this type of regulation is to
incorporate a linear voltage regulator.

BLDC Motor operation is based on the attraction or repulsion between magnetic poles. Using
the three-phase motor as shown in figure below, the process starts when current flows through
one of the three stator windings and generates a magnetic pole that attracts the closest
permanent magnet of opposite pole. The rotor will move if the current shifts to an adjacent
winding. Sequentially charging each winding will cause the rotor to follow in a rotating field.
The torque in this example depends on the current amplitude and the number of turns on the
stator windings, the strength and the size of the permanent magnets, the air gap between the
rotor and the windings, and the length of the rotating arm.

B. Selection of drives and control schemes for cranes

1) Quick Lift: To allow a lightly loaded or empty hoist to move up and down faster than the
base speed of the motor
2) Reverse Plug Simulation: When reversing directions, the inverter will decelerate at a faster
rate than the normal deceleration rate.
3) Load Hold (Hang Time): To hold a load aloft at zero speed without setting the brake. Permit
precise positioning of the load without delays normally associated with mechanical operation
of the brake.
4) Fast Stop: To Rapidly decelerate the drive when the run command is removed i.e. when back-
up limit switch is tripped
5)Speed Control: To accommodate five-speed cabin/pendant control, infinitely variable speed
control, and a bi-polar voltage or analog current input speed command
6) Micro speed Positioning Control: To Permit extremely slow movements for greater
positioning accuracy
7) Dual Upper and Lower Limit Switch Inputs: To accommodate limit-switch inputs on both
the upper and lower travel of the hoist displayed. Further movement in hoist direction is
prevented.
8) Torque Limits: Two sets of Fwd and Rev torque limits are provided.
9) Torque Limited Acceleration / Deceleration Times: For smooth starts and stops to prevent
load sway (8-M)

B. 1. A thermistor (or thermal resistor) is defined as a type of resistor whose electrical resistance
varies with changes in temperature. Although all resistors’ resistance will fluctuate slightly with
temperature, a thermistor is particularly sensitive to temperature changes. Thermistors act as a
passive component in a circuit. They are an accurate, cheap, and robust way to measure
temperature. While thermistors do not work well in extremely hot or cold temperatures, they
are the sensor of choice for many different applications. Thermistors are ideal when a precise
temperature reading is required.

B. Fuel cells
A fuel cell typically consists of two electrodes, namely, an anode and cathode separated by an
electrolyte membrane. The organic fuel that can be used in a fuel cell to produce electricity
includes hydrogen, methane, ethane, ethanol, etc. These fuels underdo combustion and release
energy in the form of heat. Most of such reactions produce water and carbon-di-oxide as by-
products and are prominently redox reactions. Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons
that leads to the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy. An electrolyte material
is present between the electrodes. Fuel is supplied to both the electrodes individually. For
instance, let us say that in a fuel cell the hydrogen is fed to the anode, while air is fed to the
cathode. Here, the catalyst present at the anode side of the cell tends to break the hydrogen
molecules into smaller particles, i.e., protons and electrons. Both the elements try to move
towards the cathode following different paths
