A positive DC voltage is an electric potential where excess electrons will flow from negative to positive.

AnswerYou appear to be mixing up potential difference (i.e. voltage) with potential.

There is no such thing as a 'positive' voltage if you mean 'positive' in the sense of charge! 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', and you cannot have a positive or negative potential difference in this sense. You can only apply positive and negative in this sense to potentials.

However, if you mean 'positive' in the sense of direction, then a positive voltage is one that is acting in the opposite direction to a negative voltage within the same circuit. For example, where two batteries have been connected in opposition.

4 what is the name of the circuit that adds a positive or negative dc voltage to an input sine wave?

This DC voltage is called the DC offset. Any decent signal generator will be able to add DC offset to the signal it generates. If you don't have one, simply connect a DC voltage to your signal.


You are wiring a LED lamp through a transformer you have a polarized plug and you know positive and negative The transformer is marked live and neutral Does live correspond with positive or negative?

LED's are DC voltage. Transformers are AC voltage. There is no positive or negative on AC voltage. You would need a diode to change the AC to DC, then there would be positive and negative voltages.

How do you measure the voltage on a car alternator?

get a multi meter that reads dc voltage & touch the black (negative -) wire to the negative battery post & the red (positive +) wire to the positive battery post with car running. car off is battery voltage, car on is alternator voltage.


DC voltage has no polarity?

A DC voltage must have a polarity, however this polarity is always in reference to some common point and has no meaning on its own, the same with voltage. Usually this common point is the circuit ground, which may or may not be earth ground. Example: A household AA battery has a positive and a negative terminal, the positive terminal is +1.5v in relation to the negative terminal, and the negative terminal is -1.5v to the positive terminal.


How you can change a constant DC voltage to a variable DC voltage?

By installing the varialble resistor in the circuit,the constant dc voltage would change .

What is the voltage reading of positive wire in 110V dc?

You should be asking, 'What is the potential reading of a positive wire....?', as 'voltage' means 'potential difference' and you can't have a potential difference on a wire! The positive wire has a potential difference of +110 V with respect to the negative wire.


What is frequency of dc?

You can say DC voltage has a frequency of zero Hz.Because it is unidirectional in nature (may be positive or negative)
