The essence of transistor operation is that a change in vBE, vBE, produces a change in iC, iC. By keeping vBE small, iC is approximately linearly related to vBE, iC = gm vBE, where gm is known as the transistor transconductance. By passing iC through RC, an output voltage signal vO is obtained. Use the expression for the small-signal voltage gain in Eq. (7.20) to derive an expression for gm. Find the value of gm for a transistor biased at IC = 0.5 mA.

Two technicians are discussing the intake air temperature (iat) sensor. technician a says that the computer uses the iat sensor as a backup to the engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor. technician b says that the powertrain control module (pcm) will subtract the calculated amount of fuel if the air measures hot. who is correct

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise
