What can a forces be measured using?
newton meter
Is using a body fat meter better than a scale?
Using a body fat meter is so much more accurate than a scale. Scales can be incorrect depending on the time of day.
Can you measure weight using a force meter?
Yes, weight is a force.
Electric current is measured using what device?
ammeter, which is understood as an amp meter
Electric energy used in homes is measured using a. a voltmeter. c. an ammeter. b. an ohmmeter. d. a kilowatthour meter.?
D. A kilowatthour meter
What is the meter reading for a forward biased diode is likely to be when using the diode test range of a digital multimeter?
A: Nobody can answer that. It depends on the diode, battery on the meter, scale of the meter. It should never read zero or close to zero ohms and reversing the lead it should just be close to open but it may read some hi k ohms. A meter test is just to find shorted diodes and extremely leaking diode.
How do you test diode using multimeter?
A Diode will pass the electrical current into one direction, and will produce high resistance in the opposite direction. To check a diode, use an Ohm-Meter or a "multi meter", and set to measure resistance "Ohm", in the 1k Scale. You will have two leads in the ohm meter + and - (Red and Black) If you measure the resistance in one direction ( red lead touching one of the diode leads , and the black is touching the other lead ) , and you found a low resistance in one direction, and a very high resistance in the other direction ( by reversing the red/black leads) , this diode should be ok. If you find low resistance in both directions, this diode is shorted, and is damaged If you find high resistance in both directions, this diode is open circuit, and is damaged
When using a multi meter always?
Chuck Norris helps it suck on Mel Gibson's dick, hope this helped!
How can the terminals of the diode be identified using the ohmmeter?
More commonly, the RED probe is on the banded (cathode) end of a diode, when the meter reads. You can also use a high ohms range (try around 200K) with a digital ohmmeter, not all have a specific "diode" setting. So test the meter first with a known marked diode, one that has a band on 1 end. You should get a reading with the probes around 1 way, and not the other. The probe on the banded end when the meter reads is the negative lead. Usually, that's the red one. So testing future diodes, if the meter reads, the red is the cathode of the diode. The polarity of the voltage appearing between the probes of digital and most analogue meters is opposite. The red lead of a digital meter is positive on the ohms ranges, while on most analogue meters the red lead is negative on the ohms ranges.
How do you test a cars power polarity?
by using a Digital Multi meter just check the voltage and it will also give you the sign with the voltage value
Will a zener diode work the same as a germanium diode?
No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.
What is a diode modulator?
A diode modulator is a type of AM modulator constructed using diodes. One type of diode modulator is the ring modulator shown in the image.
Why diode is prefer?
the most important character of diode is ,it allows only uni directional flow.. we can prefer diode in place of our commonly using electronic switches.
When using a Digital multimeter the black lead usually goes into which port?
On a digital multi-meter the black lead connects to the common (COM) port in the meter.
Is it possible to check diode and zener diode in laboratory?
yes, of course it is. one way is using a curve tracer.
Can a Diode be used on a battery charger?
ya. we are using diode in a battery charger to convert ac into dc. 230v dc is step down by using step down transformer
Can you use transistor as diode?
its the simplest thing to do. There are three legs in a transistor, one each of collector, base and emitter. So if you need to use it as a diode, just connect either collector-base or emitter-base. Say, if you use an NPN transistor, then the base region will be the anode of diode and emitter or collector will be the cathode of the diode.
