Why are lead wires used to generate electricity?
Sorry, leads do not generate electricity. Leads are just the wires that connect the parts of a circuit together.Generators, alternators, batteries, solar cells, fuel cells, friction electrostatic machines, and thunderstorms generate electricity.
How does a resistor affect the flow of electricity in a circuit: does a resistor reduce voltage or current?
A resistor affects the flow of electricity in a circuit by reducing the current that flows through it. This reduction in current leads to a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
What is the minimum value of power factor of a circuit can have under what circumstances can this occur?
Power factor is the cosine of a circuit's phase angle. A power factor of 0 (its lowest value), therefore, results from a circuit whose load current leads or lags the supply voltage by 90 degrees. In practise, this is unlikely to occur, as it requires either a purely-inductive or a purely-capacitive load and, real-life circuits have resistance.
A circuit with a lagging current means the circuit is?
Inductive. Voltage (E) leads current (I) in an inductive (L) circuit and current (I) leads voltage (E) in a capacitive (C) circuit. (ELI the ICEman)
Where do you put your leads when checking continuity on a series circuit?
When checking continuity in a series circuit, you put your leads in series with the circuit or device being checked. You also make sure the circuit is deenergized and that it is open.
What is the function of a capacitor's leads?
To connect it to the circuit.
The crop that Indonesia leads the world in producing is?
rice
What should be observed when connecting a volteter into a DC circuit?
polarity is of major importance in dicect current circuits. <<>> When using meters please remember that a volt meter does not connect into a circuit, the leads are placed across the component that you are measuring. It is an amp meter that connects into the circuit, becoming part of the circuit, to measure the current flowing through that circuit.
How can you develop power factor?
You do not 'develop' power factor; it is naturally-occurring in the sense that it is the ratio between the true power and the apparent power of a load in an a.c. system. It is numerically equal to the cosine of the phase angle -i.e. the angle by which the load current lags or leads the supply voltage.You can 'modify' the power factor of a circuit, for example, by adding capacitance to an inductive circuit, or the other way around.
What is the potential difference in electricity?
Potential difference, also known as voltage, is the force that drives the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is measured in volts and represents the energy per unit charge available to a charge to move in an electric field. A higher potential difference leads to a greater flow of current in a circuit.
Short circuits are dangerous because?
electricity always "wants" to take the easiest route, this is the route with the least resistance, this is why an insulator does not conduct electricity, it takes to much force for the electricity to travel through. a short circuit is when the easiest route is the wrong route i.e. the body of a lamp rather than the wiring of the lamp. the danger of a short circuit is dependent on the voltage and current of the electricity.
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.
