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.


What does 50 hertz or 60 hertz mean in an electrical generator?

The unit hertz means "cycles per second" and is a measure of the frequency of variation of anything which changes during a set period of time, including electric current and voltage. Saying that a generator of electricity runs at 50 hertz means that its current and voltage changes regularly at a rate of 50 times per second. Saying that a generator of electricity runs at 60 hertz means that its current and voltage changes regularly at a rate of 60 times per second. The Hertz value can be changed on the generator by increasing or decreasing the speed (RPM) of the prime mover. The generator has a feed back unit that monitors the frequency and automatically applies more power to the prime mover if the load increases and the generator RPM starts to slow down. The reverse happens if the load drops off and the generator starts to speed up, the power to the prime mover will be reduced. On a diesel generator it is the fuel flow that is increased and decreased to keep the frequency at a constant value. On a water turbine it is the water flow that is increased and decreased to keep the frequency at a constant value.


What is negative ac voltage?

Negative voltage is voltage that is more negative in polarity than the ground of the circuit.AnswerSince 'voltage' is simply another word for 'potential difference', it can be neither negative or positive in the 'charge' sense! These terms can only be applied to 'potential', not to 'potential difference' (voltage).So, the terms 'positive' and 'negative', when applied to voltage, simply indicate sense or direction in which the potential difference is acting. For example, if you decide that a car battery's voltage is acting in the 'positive' sense in the charging circuit, then the alternator's voltage must then be acting in the 'negative' sense -in other words in the opposite direction to the battery.


What is the amperage for a 20000 volt-amp heating unit on a 240 volt single phase circuit?

Volt amps is the same way of saying watts. This is seen in the formula Watts = Volts x Amps. Using the formula I = W/E we transpose I = 20000/240 = 83.33 amps.


Is it possible for an energized circuit at 240 volts and 100 amps but no power?

Yes if you are referring to no real power, no if you are saying no power (real or reactive). You could have 100A flow from a capacitor bank or inductor bank, which should consume no real power, but provide voltage support / pull down when on line by introducing reactive power to the system.

How do you build a wireless circuit?

I don't believe what you are saying is possible in full. The closet i have ever come to a "wireless" circuit is having a power supply run a fan on a motor that would then blow wind against another fan that was attached to a generator, which then fed into a light bulb and finally back to the power supply. The energy did not travel through a wire, but instead by air. But it is unlikely that there is a 100% wireless circuit.

What does the saying Chemistry is in all the electrons mean?

Electrons form the basis for electric charge of atoms. Chemistry, in it's most basic form, is the study of atoms and how they interact to form molecules. The biggest influence by far of this interaction is through the electric charge that the atoms have, and how they attract and repel to form molecules. Hence the saying, chemistry is all in the electrons.

Why is a generator electric energy?

Saying that it is electric energy is simply wrong. It generates electric energy. As to the reason, one reason is that that's what it has been designed for.
