Television signal Strength Meter

I get digital tv through a set of rabbit ears on my television. I get a decent signal but it doesn't hold. I can sit and watch the signal strength meter bounce between 0 and 99 in mere seconds. Does anyone know why the digital signal fluctuates so much?

Digital TV reception is not like analog reception. In analog, the signal can fluctuate and you will see 'snow'. In digital, it is either on or off. There is no 'in-between'. That is the nature of digital. Try getting a roof-top antenna. That will work best.

Have you ever used an analog signal finder and thought you have signal locked in, and once you got in front of your receiver, noticed that the signal meter tricked you? With a digital signal finder, there is no guess work. You either have true signal, or you don't. Until now, customers and end users were stuck with either low priced analog meters, or high priced digital signal meters. Now with the introduction of the new DSF120+, the customer can purchase a digital meter for hundreds less than any other digital meter on the market. Much more accurate than any other meter in its class, the DSF120+ is a professional instrument with a consumer price tag. Now, customers can have a professional digital satellite finder with professional performance & results, without spending an arm and a leg to purchase a bulky and expensive meter. The DSF120+ has a blue back light to allow use at night. The signal meter never needs to be recalibrated nor does it need complicated programming.

1. Sketch the electric field around the following pairs of point charges. Draw continuous field lines and assume the charges are separated by a few centimeters of empty space. 1. A +3 μC charge on the left and a +1 μC charge on the right. 2. A +3 μC charge on the left and a −1 μC charge on the right. 2. The electric field of the earth is due to the separation of charges between the surface of the Earth and the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere. 1. If the direction of the earth's electric field points down, what is the sign of the charge on the earth's surface? Explain your answer. 2. Is the charge on the surface of the earth due to an excess or a deficit of electrons? Explain your answer. 3. An estimate of the net charge on the earth can be made by assuming that all of the charge on the earth is concentrated at its center. If the electric field on the earth's surface is 120 N/C, what is the net charge of the earth? 4. Calculate the surface area of the earth. 5. What is the surface charge density of the earth in … 1. coulombs per square meter [C/m2] and 2. elementary charges per square meter [e/m2]. 3. A charge of -1.0 μC is located on the y-axis 1.0 m from the origin at the coordinates (0,1) while a second charge of +1.0 μC is located on the x-axis 1.0 m from the origin at the coordinates (1,0). Determine the … 1. magnitude and 2. direction … of the electric field at the origin. 4. The more common unit for the electric field is the volt per meter [V/m]. A typical television picture tube (also known as a cathode ray tube or CRT) is about a half meter long and has a potential difference of about 10,000 V between the front and the back. Determine the following quantities inside a typical CRT TV. 1. the electric field strength 2. the force on an electron 3. the acceleration of an electron Determine the following quantities for an electron in a typical CRT when it strikes the phosphor coating on the front of the tube. 4. its velocity 5. its kinetic energy Electrons with this much energy will produce x-rays when stopped abruptly. 6. Are the x-rays produced by a CRT television a matter for concern? If yes, why? If not, why not?

Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) If you were going to measure the amount of space a liquid occupies, what should you use? digital scale meter stick graduated cylinder triple beam balance Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) What energy conversion occurs when a battery powered car rolls across the floor? Stored chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy. Stored electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy. Stored mechanical energy is converted to mechanical energy. Stored nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy. Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) What is true about energy? Energy cannot be created during an ordinary chemical reaction. Energy is used up during an explosion. There is more energy after a chemical reaction than before the reaction. When water melts, energy is created in the form of heat. Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) Why does a piece of cork float in water? The cork is less dense than the water. The cork has less mass than a molecule of water. The water has more volume than the cork. The water weighs more than the cork.
