EMC Question of the Week: December 30, 2019

Happy New Year 2020

In decibels, it's the insertion gain of an amplifier that raises the signal voltage by a factor of 10. When repeated, it's very good eyesight or a year of promise and opportunity.

  1. What is 10?
  2. What is 20?
  3. What is 100?
  4. What is 2019?

Answer

The correct answer is "b". 20 dB represents a voltage gain of 10. 20/20 is very good eyesight. And because there's no time like the present, 2020 represents our best opportunity to take the next steps towards achieving our career and life goals. 

Best wishes for a happy and joyous new year from all of us at LearnEMC!
