1- Where Do We Use Thermistors On Circuits ?


Thermistor



A thermistor is a specific type of resistor that uses sensors to help regulate cold and heat. They can do more than simply regulate temperature. They are also used for voltage regulation, volume control, time delays, and circuit protection. These products are made up of ceramic and metal oxides, but it also contains circuits and wires. These resistors have many practical applications both in terms of manufacturing and personal products. Below, we will be going over some of the different uses and applications for thermistors throughout multiple industries.


Microwave
For those who have used a microwave, you have used a thermistor. They are used in these machines to determine and maintain internal temperature. Without the resistor in the microwave, there is a possibility of overheating in the unit. This could lead to potential fires.

Circuit Protector
If you have a power supply or surge protector in your home or office then you are also using a thermistor. Without a thermistor in this product, surges of energy would be uncontrolled. This could lead to overheating or too much electricity being pushed to whatever is plugged in. This could lead to some of your electronics shorting out.

Automotive
Cars, trucks, and buses all use thermistors. They are used to determine the temperature of oil and coolants. This is how you are able to know if your car is overheating or not. The thermistors are connected to indicators on the dashboard of the vehicle. Thermistors in cars do not prevent or regulate. Instead, they are used to gather information. This allows a driver to fix their car or truck before something serious happens.

Digital Thermometers
Have you ever wondered how digital thermometers are able to accurately gauge someone’s temperature? This is possible because of thermistors. Just like with cars, these devicesused to gather information rather than helping to maintain temperature.

Rechargeable Batteries
The ability to recharge a battery is only possible because of the help it gets. When you start charging batteries, there is a tendency for things to get hot. The low resistance of the thermistor allows it to stop the charging if things are getting too hot. 
Thermistors are used in everyday life, and they are used in so many different ways.

16- Common Collector Amplifier

Image
Common Collector Amplifier Common Collector Amplifiers produce an output voltage across its emitter load which is in-phase with the input signal The  Common Collector Amplifier  is another type of bipolar junction transistor, (BJT) configuration where the input signal is applied to the base terminal and the output signal taken from the emitter terminal. Thus the collector terminal is common to both the input and output circuits. This type of configuration is called Common Collector, (CC) because the collector terminal is effectively “grounded” or “earthed” through the power supply. In many ways the common collector configuration (CC) is the reverse of the common emitter (CE) configuration as the connected load resistor is changed from the collector terminal for R C  to the emitter terminal for R E . The common collector or grounded collector configuration is commonly used where a high impedance input source needs to be connected to a low impedance output l...

4- Amplifier Distortion

Image
Amplifier Distortion Amplifier Distortion can take on many forms such as Amplitude, Frequency and Phase Distortion due to Clipping. For a signal amplifier to operate correctly without any distortion to the output signal, it requires some form of DC Bias on its Base or Gate terminal. A DC bias is required so that the amplifier can amplify the input signal over its entire cycle with the bias “Q-point” set as near to the middle of the load line as possible. The bias Q-point setting will give us a “Class-A” type amplification configuration with the most common arrangement being the “Common Emitter” for Bipolar transistors or the “Common Source” configuration for unipolar FET transistors. The Power, Voltage or Current Gain, (amplification) provided by the amplifier is the ratio of the peak output value to its peak input value (Output ÷ Input). However, if we incorrectly design our amplifier circuit and set the biasing Q-point at the wrong position on the load line or apply too...
