It is not the Voltage that can kill humans, it is the current that kills. Humans have died at as low as 42 volts. Time is also a factor. A current of 0.1 ampere for a mere 2 seconds can be fatal. As Voltage = Current x Resistance the current depends on body resistance. Theinterna...
When radiation of high enough energy strikes anatomin the human body, it can strip away an electron. The resulting positively charged atom is called an ion, which explains why high energy radiation is called ionizing radiation. The release of the electron produces 33 electron volts (eV) of ene...
From this default the following table can serve as a rough guide for other sensors options. (not a definitive answer as many factors can influence selection) Consult sensor vendors, like Magnelab and Verivolt, for further advice on ultimate sensor selection....
Many batteries sold today will include a three-year or 36-month warranty, although some will have warranties lasting significantly longer, such as 80 months. While it can be worth it to pay for the battery with a longer warranty, with the right care, you can increase your chances of gettin...
In terms of biological damage, how many rad of heavy ions are equivalent to 100 rad of x-rays? Ionizing Radiation: The energy is used to separate the electrons from the atomic and molecular bonds from the different elements like water or any living tissue, as...
These machines are designed to lay waste to anything that enters them and they are very effective at grinding up anything that gets past a certain point, but the problem here is that they fail to make any kind of distinction between food and human body parts. This is why so many people ...
Since so many devices now operate using USB, integrated USB ports on the surge protector can come in handy. But be aware that only some models supply enough power to fast charge your devices, and the power is often shared across the USB ports, so charging multiple USB devices will supply ...
Since then, circuit protection options have expanded significantly in recognition of the many potential circuit failure modes. These can be: Internal failures that may result in a cascade of damage to other components Internal failures that may put the operator or patient at risk ...
AN5878 Application note How to design a robust automotive CAN system Introduction Controller area network (CAN) communication bus is extremely popular in the automotive industry. On top of standalone CAN transceivers, many ASICs or SBCs embed one or several CAN transceivers. To comply with the ...
You can just about see the mesh-like anodes in front of the numbers—and notice how many wire connections they have coming out of the bottom. Photo by Adam Greig published on Flickr under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike Licence....
