What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?

Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.


How do you change AC motor speed?

A change in frequency of the motor will cause a change in the speed of the AC conveyor motor. This frequency change is brought about by a device called a Variable Frequency Drive. It is used to vary the frequency of the motor from 0 to 100%. I have no idea what the second answer is talking about. ANSWER: considering that no mention of type of motor is involved the frequency change theory is quite invalid since 50 or 60 Hz AC line runs clocks from banks to wake up calls and while it is true that the frequency is not accurate from second to second it is however very accurate from minutes to minutes.


Inch meter computation?

Here is a fine length and distance converter. Scroll down to related links and look at "Length and distance converter".


How do you step down frequency and voltage from an AC generator?

You step down voltage from an AC generator with a transformer.You step down frequency from an AC generator with a motor/generator set, or with an inverter. This is not a common thing to do.


Why does a capacitor act as a short circuit at high frequencies.Why does it act as an open circuit at low frequencies?

A capacitor resists a change in voltage. The rate of change of voltage is proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance. dv/dt = i/c Put this in an AC circuit and analyze, and you learn that, as frequency goes up, capacitve reactance goes down; inversely, as frequency goes down, capacitive reactance goes up. X = -1/(2 pi f C)

Why is it not possible to increase the wavelength and frequency at the same time?

Wavelength times frequency equals speed (of the wave). Therefore, unless you also change the speed, if wavelength goes up, frequency goes down, and vice versa.Wavelength times frequency equals speed (of the wave).

When a wave slows down what property of the wave is affected?

The speed. Also, the wavelength, since the speed is equal to wavelength x frequency, and the frequency will normally NOT change.


How do you change the frequency of a thing?

Slow it down or speed it up


What are the advantages of using a frequency converter?

Using one of these converters will help to get the job you need down easier and faster then by doing it by hand it can easier to have one of these gadgets then not to have one

How do you convert 220 ac to 12v DC?

You'll probably have to have a step-down transformer to take the 220vac down to 110vac. Then you'll have to have an Ac to Dc converter box to change the Ac to Dc volts. The converter will probably have an adjustable output so that you can dial in 12vdc.

How do you change the pitch of music on Audacity?

Open the "Effects" menu and select "Change Pitch." Drag the slider at the bottom of the pop-up window to change the pitch of the music; you can also use the key drop-down menus, the semitone text box, or the frequency boxes to make precise changes.

Frequency increases as the source approaches an observer and decreases as it recedes?

Doppler effect is a change in frequency and wavelength of a wave. It is caused by the change in distance between the thing creating the wave (causer) and whatever is measuring (watcher), seeing or hearing the wave.Another word for "causer" is "sender". Another word for "change in distance" is "speed".(taken from simple wikipedia).


Where is the catalytic converter located ona 1997 mountaineer?

That depends on which one you need to change, they have 4 of them. You have one on each down pipe and two connected side-by-side between the down pipes and the muffler.


How do you change a Cadillac converter in a 2000 Honda civic ex?

Its called a catalytic converter. The American car company "Cadillac" does not manufacture converters for our vehicles. Remove it using two 14mm sockets. It is after the exhaust manifold down pipe and the exhaust system.
