    Difference between union and structure

    No. You need to learn yourself. Implement something yourself and see what happens. I'd recommend unioning together an integer and a byte. Put values into one and see what happens to the other. To understand this you need to understand the size and the layout of data types on your machine...

    Yes. TLA's were the bane of my searching. I've also made mention to Nisar about how people might interpret his use of smileys.

    Difference between union and structure

    Unfortunately that sure contains the rather misleading information: "You can define a union with many members, but only one member can contain a value at any given time" Because the variables occupy the same memory, placing a value in one will generally place a value in all of them. However...

    Difference between union and structure

    both variables will start at the same location in memory. The size of the union will be that of the largest member.

    Book: Transistor Circuit Design, With Experiments, by Delton T. Horn

    Other books of his are not to be "replete with errors". There is some suggestion of a web site with corrections. I'd go in search of it. Some suggest is hosted by the publishers -- might even be worth contacting them.

    Difference between union and structure

    Not later, at the same time. All variables are always available. Your code might use this to save space in certain cases. In my experience it is more often used to overlay structures which may contain different data at different times. For example a set of 4 byres might contain one long...

    Book: Transistor Circuit Design, With Experiments, by Delton T. Horn

    Why not post an image of a page that has errors? From your description, some of the problems could be anywhere between real and your misunderstanding. Given that nobody has piped up saying they've read the book, short of finding a copy in a public library or buying a copy, there's not much we...

    They will occupy the same memory locations.

    Difference between union and structure

    In a struct the variables all occupy their own place in memory. In a union they all overlap.

    Oooh, manual ranging multimeter... Use the 200Ω range when looking for continuity.

    Wiring on Pedal Assist Bike

    In order to check resistance, first make sure that the circuit is unpowered. Next, switch the meter into its resistance mode (often labelled Ω). The leads need to be plugged into the correct sockets in your meter, black into the common socket, and red into the socket often labelled for Volts...

    Microphone Replacement

    The main issue would be that your new mic is compatible with the circuit the old mic is connected to. After that, the use of shielded cable (that is standard on microphones) should be sufficient.

    Can someone identify this component?

    Don't you mean 1/100th?

    Transistor Tyristor x-FET

    The correct solution is to replace like with like. Don't give in to a fantasy world where you can substitute parts with random selections.

    Load, zener, series resistors currents

    It's hard to say whether or not you should take into account the forward voltage drop of the rectifier diode. Have you been given any other information, or is there a precident set in other questions? With no other information I would assume it's a perfect diode.

    Load, zener, series resistors currents

    Why did you multiply the peak voltage by 0.707? Think carefully about this. Then consider the circuit without the load. Then determine if the load is "compatible" with that. Depending on your answer here, you have one of two paths to follow.
