What happens if you reverse a diode in a half-wave rectifier?

you will get the opposite polarity DC as before


Why is dc welding develop?

we will have straight polarity and reverse polarity,we can produce the weld with good quality


How does current flow in a nonreversing motor?

If you are talking polarity. DC motors automotive application run poss to neg. But any dc motor can reverse by changing polarity.


How is a DC permanent-magnet motor reversed?

Reverse the polarity of armature windings of the motor.


Can you reverse the polarity of AC and DC?

We have the capacity to reverse the polarity of a DC voltage, at least as regards what we apply it to. When we consider a DC motor, like, say, the ones in the little "robot wars" we see on TV, the motors can be run in reverse by reversing the polarity of the applied DC voltage. We normally consider AC as already reversing its polarity. It is, after all, AC, which is alternating current. The current alternates because the voltage alternates. We'll avoid any further discussion of the polarity of AC voltages here and leave it at that.AnswerThe problem, here, is that 'polarity' has several different meanings.Polarity, in the sense of 'electric charge' cannot really be applied to a voltage (potential difference) although it can be to a potential (although the polarity is relative; it depends on the point of reference).Polarity, in the sense of 'direction', can be applied to a voltage. For example, is the voltage acting clockwise or counter clockwise around a circuit?Polarity, in the sense of 'connection', can be applied to a voltage. For example, it's important that the line conductor is connected to the centre terminal of an Edison lamp holder or to one or other of the slots in a receptacle (power socket).


How can the direction of rotation of a DC shunt motor be reversed?

DC shunt motor can be reversed by changing the polarity of either the armature coil or the field coil.


What is polarity in welding?

Polarity in welding has to do with the direction of the current in the welding process. With direct current (DC) the welding circuit can either be straight, or reverse polarity. When the machine is set for straight polarity, the current flows from the electrode to the weld surface and creates considerable heat in the metal. When the machine is in reverse polarity, the current is backwards and is flowing from the metal to the electrode causing a grater concentration of heat at the electrode.


If you make a mistake in polarity when meauring the value of dc voltage in a circuit with a digital vom what will happen?

absolutely nothing happens...just reverse the probes of multimeter & measure it again...this time around it should come positive...


What are the two polarities used with direct current welding?

reverse polarity and straight polarity The answer is right but a bit of furthur explanation is required. Polarity can be changed in DC output welding sets. The heat of the welding arc is concentrated on the positive terminal. So when thick plates are welded as more concentration of heat is required on the job the job is kept +ve ie. straight polarity is used. For thin plates concentration of heat is on the filler rod ,so reverse polarity is used.


How do you Reverse direction on a DC motor?

a general purpose D-C motor can be reversed by changing the polarity of either the armature or the field but not both


Would reverse polarity cause equipment to run even if switch is off?

The case of reverse polarity would only happen on a DC system. As to would it cause equipment to run when switched off, no, if the switch opens the equipment's power supply completely the device will not operate.


Why freqvency in AC and Why not in DC Voltage?

Frequency with AC is how many times in one second it goes thru a cycle of reversing polarity twice. DC does not reverse, in other words the frequency is zero.
