How to read Scaled Graphs?

Please ignore the graphed lines, those are irrelevant to the question, it's the graph itself that's relevant. I see this type of graph used all the time, between multiple manufacturers and device types. It's a plotted graph, x * y, where x could be…

Plot a 50Hz Sine Wave in Excel

I am trying to show a visual representation of a few cycles of a 50Hz and 60Hz sine wave at 400 Volts overlapping and trying to find out how to create this as a chart in Excel. Does anyone know how to do that?

Battery nominal voltage - can you confirm my understanding?

I am trying to understand why we can simply just calculate the usable energy that a battery has by multiplying the capacity and the nominal voltage. Since the capacity (available electrical charge) in a battery depends on the drawn current (unlike…

Why the current in this graph is so strange?

I have a question about a 3-phase 400V motor used by an hydraulic pump. I read its currents and their graph is quite strange to me, far from the usual (deformed) wave. What could be going on here?

What do ripples in frequency response curve of filters depict?

I am trying to understand the frequency response curve of various types of filters (Butterworth, Chebyshev etc). The curves are shown here for reference : One thing I do not understand is what do the ripples in passband show. The curve is clearly…

How do I calculate threshold voltage from the graph?

I have a table of values given to me which contains drain current Id (in μA) and gate voltage (in volts) calculated in the saturation region for a thin film transistor. I need to find the threshold voltage by drawing a graph. I used Desmos to draw…

what is the physical meaning of transconductance?

i know for a BJT transconductance is the slope of the collector current to the base-emitter voltage difference plot.. ans also it is equal to the slope of the collector current to the thermal voltage Vt = (nk)/q where n can be 1 or 2 and k is…
