What is indicated by reading of battery voltage on the side of component?
That a short to ground exists in the circuit.
What is indicated by reading of battery voltage on the ground side of component?
That a short to ground exists in the circuit.
Voltage reading for a fully charged Battery?
12v
What component recharges a vehicle's battery?
The alternator, in cooperation with the voltage regulator and the charge relay.
Why battery voltage reading decrease when you accelerate the engine?
Alternator is defective.
When the ammeter reading is zero and there are four resistor connected in seriesusing voltmeter identify which resistor causes the problem?
The ammeter is reading zero because there is no current flowing. This is because one of the resistors is faulty; the faulty resistor has an "open circuit" (open circuit means there is a broken connection). We know that: Ohms law is: V = I x R (voltage = current x resistance) Therefore because there is zero current in each resistor there will be zero voltage across each resistor. However we also know that: Kirchhoff's voltage law is: V1 +V2 +V3 + … = Vs (the sum of the voltage drops accross each component in a circuit MUST equal the supply (or battery) voltage). But if all the resistors are zero volts, then what component equals the supply (or battery) voltage? The battery voltage is developed across the open circuit… therefore the resistor which is faulty will have a voltage across it equal to the battery voltage. That easy to measure with a volt meter! hope this helps
Where is the voltage regulator on a 1994 Honda Prelude?
just follow the positive line coming from the battery. The first component it meets should be the voltage regulator.
What is a good voltage reading for a 12 volt battery?
For lead-acid chemistry, as in a car battery, think 13.6 volts DC.
Why can't you use a multitester as an ohmmeter if it has no battery?
The battery is used by the meter to apply a voltage across the resistance being measured and determine the current which determines the resistance. If there is no battery it can't supply the voltage and can't measure current, so no reading.
What is a short to voltage in an automobile?
A short to voltage is when a wire that should not have battery voltage has battery voltage. This would happen if a wire had rubbed through another wire. The other cause would be an electrical component failing and sending voltage down a wire that it shouldn't. NOTE: Shorts to voltage are very uncommon. I specialize in electrical automotive repair, and I can not even recall one time I have seen a short to voltage.
What is the reading on your alternator supposed to be?
With the battery fully charged (12.68 Volts) and a volt meter connected to the positive and negative battery posts, run engine at idle with no accessories on, voltage reading should be aprox 14.2.
A battery produces voltage using?
battery produces voltage by
