How many 150 watt flood lights can be on a 20 amp circuit?
The voltage needs to be known to give an answer to this question.
Difference between bipolar junction transistor amplifier and field effect transistor amplifier?
Bipolar transistors are so named because in which holes & electrones takes part in conduction.as opposed to unipolar transistors, such as field-effect transistors, in which only one type of Majority carrier takes part in conduction. FET Advantage over BJT FET requires vertually no input corrent and gives extreamly high input resistance.FET's have a 4th source called a body and are a little bit more complicated the simple emitter, base, and collector of BJT's. they are more semiconductor and can't handle as much power as BJT.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_effect_transistorhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_junction_transistor
If you can change a 4-wire to a 3-wire 240V outlet circuit then what was the purpose of having a 4-wire box in place to begin with?
== == You are not allowed to change a four-wire outlet to a three wire outlet.You can change a four wire cord to a three wire cord.That is VERY different! === === I have answered this question at least 6 times. The 4 wire plug has a neutral and the 3 does not. An untrained homeowner who does their own plumbing can flood the house with water or sewage, on the other hand electricity can kill instantly. I wouldn't want to gamble my family's lives on my incompetence. 3 wire plugs are old and outdated. Way back in the old days they didn't ground equipment so plugs didn't have a ground. (Remember the old 2 wire 110V outlets on houses built before the 50s?) A few people got killed so they decided to add a safety wire. It took them longer to catch on with heavy appliances, but eventually they did. That it what the fourth pin is. Since many homes still have the 3 wire plug it is allowed in older homes. New homes must use the new 4 wire plug. Changing your 4 wire cord to a 3 wire cord is the same as plugging a 3 wire 120V appliance into one of those 3 prong to two prong adapters they sell. Your appliance works now, but is ungrounded. Don't listen to anyone who says to replace the new up-to-code plug with an older plug. That is the same as replacing your 3 prong 120V outlets with old two prong outlets! Ignore anyone who tells you to do so, they think they know a lot more than they actually do. Buy a new cord. It is cheap and safer. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work ANDalways use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
Your engine failed after driving through a flood who is liable?
You are. Don't drive through a flood. A car engine was not intended to be submerged in water, particularly dirty flood water.
When a flood happens?
it happens in 1999
What is a sudden flood that happens after a storm?
A flash flood.
What happens if it rains heavily?
There is every liklihood of flood in case of heavy rain, when the low lying areas are submerged in rain waters and the water dams are forced to relase excess water stored above the optimum level.
What is a flash flood?
A flood that happens do to the overflow of a lake/river.
What creates a flood?
a flood happens when there is a drought then it rains a lot then it creates a floof that makes a flood
What happens if you touch the flood?
You get wet.
What will happens to ant when flood?
it will die
When does a flood happen?
it happens in 1999
What feature forms when the river overflows and the low lying land of both sides are submerged in water?
It could be considered a floodplain, as technically a floodplain is "An area of floodable land that is submerged in the flood and dry in the low water season."
What was the biggest flood ever in history?
Japan 2011. The flooding in Namayaga Street in Tokyo was so high it submerged most of its 3ft inhabitants.
What happens when a flood happens?
A flood happens when water over flows from to much rain and over flows the city/village/etc........ also, when it rain for so long and rain so hard
