What is difference between amplitude and peak value?
It is the highest value of the amplitude, called the peak value. Scroll down to related links and look at "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage". Look at the figure in the middle below the headline "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".
What is the voltage that supplies a motor starter called?
In the electrical trade it is called control voltage. This voltage can be any voltage. In North America the common control voltage is 120 volts.
Why is the electric current you receive at your house is called alternating current?
The voltage and current are delivered in a sine wave that goes positive and then negative at 60 cycles per second. Google sine wave to see what a sine wave looks like.
What is it called when voltage is lost across a portion of a circuit?
This is often called a "voltage drop".
What is voltage transformation ratio?
ratio of secondry voltage to primary voltage is called voltage transformation ratio
A device that increase the voltage of an alternating current is called a?
That's called a transformer.
A device that increases the voltage of an alternating current is called?
That's called a transformer.
A transformer can only the voltage of an alternating current?
A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.
Why it is called alternating current not alternating voltage?
There's absolutely nothing wrong with using the term 'alternating voltage', if you are describing voltage rather than current. However, In engineering terminology, the abbreviation a.c. is considered to be an adjective. So, it is also quite normal to talk about an 'a.c. voltage', in just the same way as we describe an 'a.c. system', or an 'a.c. motor', etc.
The change from negative to positive and from positive to negative in an alternating current?
Is called AC voltage or current.
Is a device that changes the voltage of an alternating current with little loss of energy?
The device you are referring to is called a transformer. Not only can a transformer increase voltage, it can decrease voltage as well. These are known as a step up transformer for increasing voltages and step down for decreasing voltages.
What is difference between amplitude and peak value?
It is the highest value of the amplitude, called the peak value. Scroll down to related links and look at "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage". Look at the figure in the middle below the headline "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".
What is the set up for a transformer that decreases the voltage on the out put side?
A basic, two-winding, transformer consists of two, separate, coils (called windings) wound around a laminated silicon-steel core. The winding connected to the supply (input) is called the primary winding, and the winding supplying the load is called the secondary winding. Alternating current flowing in the primary winding sets up an alternating magnetic field in the core which induces a voltage into the secondary winding. If there are fewer turns in the secondary winding, then the secondary voltage is lower than the primary voltage. If there are more turns in the secondary winding, then the secondary voltage is higher than the primary voltage.
Why it is called alternating current and not alternating voltage?
Although in AC, the voltage does change, it is the reversing of direction of flow of the current which was used to designate the AC name.AnswerIn engineering terminology, the abbreviation a.c. is considered to be an adjective. So, it is quite normal to talk about an 'a.c. voltage', in just the same way as we describe an 'a.c. system', or an 'a.c. motor', etc. However, it is also correct to use the term 'alterating voltage', where applicable.
What is a frequency of ac signal in Pakistan?
The current which changes it direction after every half cycle is called alternating current(A.C) or Alternating current which produced by voltage source whose polarity keeps on reversing with time. By Shahnam qadeer
Which is the highest point in the sky that the Sun reaches on a given day?
The highest point reached by any body in the sky, including the Sun, is called the zenith.
Can alternating current be expressed as a vector?
In the case of AC, you can express the current, the voltage and the equivalent to the resistance (called "impedance" in this case) as a vector - with a magnitude, and a phase angle.
