E update- IOT

Nowadays people around talks more about IOT i.e Internet of Things. Budding all new technologies are now integrated with IOT. IOT becomes one of the giant technology today which acts as a master to networks. So there is huge need for us to know  what is IOT, how it works, how it is used.

IOT

What is IOT?

IOT is a the process of connecting devices to the internet and to the other connected devices. It continuously collects and share data with devices to which it connected.The things used in everyday life  are usually embedded with electronics, sensors, software and network connectivity where it communicate with to share and collects data around the environment.

IOT Environment


History of IOT

IOT was discovered by Kevin Ashton in 1999. He established global research centre to focus on the development of IOT and RFID. He strongly believed that everything in the world can be changed into data and every things of world can be changed into smart one.


How IOT Works

Things used in IOT are usually embedded with technology such as sensors, software which are web enabled to share and collect data from the environment where the devices are connected one another. These devices communicate with one another in Machine to Machine language (M2M). Human can also interrupt, command and access the process. But mostly the process are designed to work automatically without human interruption. 
IOT connections


IOT involves four process:

                               
                                         Collect-> Communicate->Analyse->Act

Collect:

It resembles the collection of data from the devices, sensors fixed in home, car, mobile phones etc

Communicate:

It resembles the transfer of data from connected devices to the cloud platform through internet

Analyse:

It observes, understands and filters the data which it obtained from server

Act:
It executes the command received 
IOT cloud platform

IOT applications:

IOT is used everywhere in the world to make the things smarter. IOT is used in
  • Homes
  • Industries
  • Transports
  • Agriculture
  • Hospitals

But they are mainly used and implemented in:

Homes:

 In homes IOT is  mostly used for :
  • Home Automation
  • Security
  • Automated door lock system

Industries:

In Industries IOT is  mostly used for :

  • Industrial automation
  • Industrial Safety
  • Industrial Security
  • Manufacturing
  • Water level monitoring

Transports:

In Transports IOT is  mostly used for :
  • Security
  • Maps
  • Petrol level indication
  • Air level indication
  • Traffic Indication

Basic MCQ's of EEE-I

1.What is the unit of electrical charge? 1.watt 2. joule 3. volt  4. coulomb   Answer: 4 Explanation: unit of Charge -> Coulomb, Energy ->Joule, Voltage -> Volts, Power -> Watts 2 . The minimum resistance value for a blue, gray, red, silver resistor is 1. 612  2. 6,120 3. 6,800  4. 6,460  Answer: 2 Explanation: blue-6 grey-8 red-2 so value is 6800ohms tolerance +-10% therefore minimum resistance value is 6800/100*10=680 6800-680=6120 3 . If the current changes from 4A to 5A in 1s with the emf 10V. then what will be the value of inductance?  1.10H  2. 20H  3. 30H  4. 40H  Answer: 1  Explanation: As emf=L(i2-i1)/t by substituting i2=4A, i1=5A, emf=10V,we get L=10H 4. What happens when many resistors are connected in series? 1. Divides the voltage proportionally 2. Divides the current propotionally 3. Increase the source voltage 4. Decrease the power to zero ...

Center Tapped Transformer

Center Tap: Center Tap is a point connected along the half way of transformer, inductor, resistor or potentiometer. It provides variable in the value. Center Tapped transformer: Mostly center tapped transformer are used to reduce low voltage supply. This happens when the demand is more than the supply voltage. If the transformer is overloaded then the output voltage reduces. This problem can be reduced by using Center tapped transformer where the number of turns can be changed by connecting at various point of windings. so the output voltage can be managed. Center tapped transfromer has the same working principle as normal transformer but the main difference is secondary winding is divided into two parts. Center tapped transformer Working Principle:  The working principle is same as normal transformer. If the alternating current is made to pass through the primary winding the flux will be produced in it, when the secondary winding is brought near to it, an induced e...
