Term-B

Bandwidth:

the measure of a range of frequencies having upper and lower limit

Battery:

Individual cells joined together to give the output voltage

Binary:

the counting system used in computer logic. Two values are available - 0 and 1. A zero is normally represented by a 0 Volt signal, and a one by a voltage of approximately 5 Volts - as commonly used in microcontrollers

Binary Code:

a coding scheme that transfer information by using a series of "1s" and "Os" that are represented, by the "ON" and "OFF" states

Bit Stream:

the bit rate, or flow of info, between a sender and receiver in digital transfer. 

Bit:

a unit of the binary code that consists of either a single "1" or "O."

Bus:

Used to connect euipments, allowing  them to communicate. May be digital or analogue, including power and earth (ground)

Byte:

a unit of the binary code that consists of eight bits.

Balanced bridge:

Scenario that occurs when a bridge circuit is set to give a zero output.

Barrier potential

The difference of potential that is there across a forward biased pn junction.

Base

The region that lies betwen the emitter and collector of a bipolar junction transistor.

Battery

A DC voltage source having two or more cells that convert chemical energy to electrical energy.

Baud

It is the unit of symbol rate, also known as baud rate or modulation rate

Beta

(b) The ratio of collector current to base current in a bipolar junction transistor (BJT).

Bias

A DC voltage applied to a device to control its operation.

Binary

A number system having only two symbols, 0 and 1. A base 2 number system.

Bipolar junction transistor

(BJT), A three terminal device in which emitter to collector current is controlled by base current.

Bistable multivibrator

A multivibrator or a latch with 2 stable states. 

Breakdown voltage

Voltage at which the breakdown of a dielectric or insulator takes place.

Bridge rectifier

A circuit using four diodes to provide full wave rectification. Converts an AC voltage to a pulsating DC voltage.

Buffer

An amplifier used to isolate a load from a source.

Bulk resistance

The natural resistance of a "P" type or "N" type semiconductor material.
