The opposition to the flow of electrical current?
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
Total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit?
I oppose alternating current. Direct is the only way for me. That is 1 in opposition.
Impedience of electric circuit?
The impedance of an electric circuit is the measure of the opposition presented by a circuit when the current and voltage is applied.
When an alternating voltage is applied to purely resistive circuit what happens?
When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive circuit, the resulting current is in phase with the voltage.
Impedance of electric circuit?
The impedance of electric circuit refers to the measure of the opposition that a circuit presents to a current when a voltage is applied.
The opposition to the flow of electrical current?
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
Total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit?
I oppose alternating current. Direct is the only way for me. That is 1 in opposition.
Impedience of electric circuit?
The impedance of an electric circuit is the measure of the opposition presented by a circuit when the current and voltage is applied.
What is alternating current normally produced by?
Alternating current is normally produced by rotating the magnet in the coil of an induced alternating voltage. When connected to a circuit, an alternating current will flow.
An opposition to current flow that occurs in alternating current circuits is called?
Capacitive reactance.
What is an opposition to current flow called that occurs in an alternating current circuit?
The resistance is called impedance, and is equal to the measured voltage divided by the measured current, through Ohm's Law (V = ZI, Z = V/I).
What is the term for opposition to current flow within a circuit?
The term Impedance (Z) is used to quantify the opposition to current flow in a circuit.
What is it mean to say that an alternating current leads or lags an alternating emf?
It is another way of saying that the circuit is capacitive reactive circuit. Look up the mnemonic ELI the ICE man. ELI, voltage leads the current in an inductive circuit. ICE, current leads the voltage in a capacitive circuit.
What is the opposition to flow of current in a circuit called?
resistance
When current in a circuit reverses its direction in a regular pattern it is called?
An "Alternating Current" (AC).
Which is a circuit used to change alternating current to direct current?
Insufficient information given.
When an alternating voltage is applied to purely resistive circuit what happens?
When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive circuit, the resulting current is in phase with the voltage.
