of course.... next question...
Connect a variable resistance across DC source (fixed ends of variable resistor or Rheostat) and take decreased DC output across its one fixed terminal and other variable terminal of variable resistor. Other method is connect variable resistor in series with DC output and load, vary the resistance and take decreased DC voltage as required.
In DC, flow of current is controlled by resistance only where as in AC it is done by Impedance which is combination of Resistance , inductive and capacitive reactances.Reasons:In transformers resistance of the transformer's core windings are very low due to which if you will connect transformer across DC supply then it will draw a heavy current which will burn out is winding and it may damage the equipment too.Transformers works of the principal of Induction (Mutual/Self) that is possible in AC only because in DC there is no induction therefore even if transformer's windings anyhow withstand with DC there will be no voltage output at output terminals of the transformer, therefore it is useless to connect transformer on DC supply.
The reason an AC voltage applied across a load resistance produces alternating current is because when you have AC voltage you have to have AC current. If DC voltage is applied, DC current is produced.
If you connect the test leads to the brushes of a DC electric motor, you would typically measure the resistance across the armature circuit. This reading can help you determine the condition of the armature winding, the brushes, and the connections.
use kvl or kcl
Transistors are not normally connected to dc motors, but it is possible to use transistors in a speed-control mechanism for a motor.
A: It must be connected across the device ammeters cannot measure DC current directly
The voltage applied and the resistance across it.
Dc voltage level should not exceed the current carrying capacity of the winding. since winding resistance is very small. We need to be careful in giving the dc voltage to transformer winding.
By using a voltage divider, that is two resistors of the same value in series across the DC supply. Half of the supply voltage will be at the point where the two resistors is connected. But how much wattage of those resistors is also an issue.
Here we will just connect DC generator shaft with motor's rotating spindle. Now connect voltmeter across dc gen. and just calibrate voltmeter in terms of rpm. If you have worked with micro-controllers then it will be very easy using it's ADC input.
The resistance needed is1/(the current flowing through the resistance) ohms.
