What is ac and DC current?
AC stands for alternating current and means that the current changes directions, flipping repeatedly from positive to negative and back again.DC means direct current, the current only flows in one direction and does not change polarity.
What is the difference between a positive limiter and a negative limiter?
The polarity at which it limits a waveform.
Reverse polarity in welding?
Immediate and catastrophic destruction of transistors and/or diodes. While that does not ALWAYS occur, it's certainly possible. Start with the alternator. No doubt those diodes have been destroyed if a battery has been connected with reverse polarity.
What measurement can vary with AC current by not DC current?
HZ. Hertz is the name given to the frequency of the alternating circuit. Direct current (DC) has no frequency since one wire is always positive and the other is always negative; but AC (Alternating Current) rapidly changes polarity, and does so at a rate that is defined by HZ.
What happen during positive cycle and negative cycle?
as direction of current reverses it is shown in form of positive and negative cycles
What are two examples of polarity?
-- negative polarity -- positive polarity
Is ethanol positive or negative polarity?
goes from negative to positive
What does negative polarity mean with electricity?
Polarity is the direction of flow of electrons throughout a circuit. There are two types of polarity: positive and negative. Postive polarity is of older circuits which means electrons flow from positive to negative. Negative polarity is of more modern circuits and that is the flow of electrons from negative to positive such as on car batteries
Differentiate between the terms reversed polarity and normal polarity?
Normal polarity is for the power to normally go from positive to negative, reverse polartity is to change the positive to a negative and the negative to a positive so the power goes the other way.
What is the polarity of a circuit?
The polarity of a circuit is dependent upon the type of circuit. Direct current circuits have one negative pole and one positive pole and they flow in one direction. Alternating current circuits the electron flow reverses because the tow poles alternate between negative and positive.
What is the direction of current flow in a Battery and why?
Current means flow. Electric current means flow of electric charges Now there are two kind of charges. They are positive and negative But current is defined as the flow of positive charges But in metallic wires there is no chance for positive charges to flow through. Only loosely bound electrons with negative charge are capable of flowing. So current is case of metallic wire is due to electrons. So we have to assign as "conventional current". Conventional current is always opposite to the flow of electron flow Now from a battery current (conventional) flows right from positive polarity to the negative polarity. But within batter is has to flow right from negative to positive so as to complete the circuit of flow.
Do potentiometers have polarity?
no there is no consideration of positive or negative legs in case of resistor.
Do transisors have polarity?
Basic transistors have three lead contacts that do have polarity . There are two kinds referred to as P-N-P (for positive-negative-positive leads) and N-P-N (for negative-positive-negative leads).
Do ac capacitor have positive and negative polarity?
both
The polarity of an eletromagnet is determined by the?
the way in which the positive & negative terminals on the battery or power supply are attached to the electromagnet. switching the leads from the positive terminal to the negative one, and the negative one to the positive terminal should reverse the polarity of your electromagnet.
What is the definition for polarity?
'Polarity' has a number of meanings, generally involving the distinction between positive and negative.
How do you use the word polarity in a sentence?
The polarity of both ends of a magnet is different. The positive and negative polarity exist for a magnet.
