What happens when the voltage standing wave ratio is too high?

If the vswr (Voltage Standing Wave Ration) is high than call drop chance increase.


What will happen too amperage if voltage is increased and resistance remains the same?

Ohms Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage rises, so will current.


How does High and Low voltage cut out circuit works if voltage varies?

I assume you mean - 'Why does a circuit fail to work if the operating voltage is too high or too low?' A certain specific voltage is needed to overcome the natural resistance in circuit components. For instance in simple transistors, this is 0.7V to get the transistor to switch on and 1.4V is lost across the switched junction. This is why may circuits operate at above 3V. The rest of the circuit is designed to operate at the specified voltage and if you go too high, too much current will flow through the circuit and it will fail in the same way a fuse will blow if too much current is passed through it.


What happens if transformer wattage is much less than load wattage?

If the load current is too high, the power lost in the transformer windings will be too high and it will overheat. If the voltage is excessive, the power lost in eddy currents in the magnetic core will be too high and it will overheat.


What limits the output of an electrical generator?

The amount of voltage of an electrical generator will determine the limit of the output of energy. If the voltage is too high, it can burst the pipes causing it to shut down.

What will happen if a light bulb gets too much electricity?

If its an incandescent bulb the filament burns out; depending on the voltage put through the bulb (and the operating voltage of the bulb) the results can be quite spectacular. Normally the filament will burn out with a bright flash, if the voltage is high enough the bulb may explode.


What kind of battery makes a bulb shine brighter?

Usually a higher voltage will make a light bulb shine brighter; but if the voltage is too high, this can also destroy the light bulb.


What happen to 9.5v if it is plug into 220V outlet?

Anything of such voltage will be burnt if plugged in a 230v socket outlet because the voltage is too high.


What might happen to the bulb if you added too much batteries to the circuit?

Too much power is likely to burn out the bulb's filament, or shorten the bulb's life. A resistor of suitable rating, placed within the circuit, would help reduce the voltage to a more suitable level


What will happen if this 4.5 v bulb is connected to a 1.5 v cell?

The bulb need the correct voltage to operate. Your bulb would light if it is a 1.5 volt light. So the voltage of the supply and the light must be matched. Too little voltage won't light the light, too much will light it too much and blow it up.


What does it mean map sensor voltage too high?

When it says the map sensor voltage is too high, this means that too much voltage is reaching the sensor. This can be a result of a failed component or a shorted wire coming into the sensor.


What might happen to the bulb if you add too many extra batteries to the circuit?

How would a meter be connected in a circuit too measure the voltage at a light bulb?

When connecting a volt meter to a light bulb to measure the voltage of the light bulb, run a third wire from where the wire enters the bulb to one terminal of the voltmeter and a fourth wire from the other side of the bulb to the other terminal of the voltmeter.


Describe how a meter would be connected in a circuit too measure the voltage at a light bulb?

When connecting a volt meter to a light bulb to measure the voltage of the light bulb, run a third wire from where the wire enters the bulb to one terminal of the voltmeter and a fourth wire from the other side of the bulb to the other terminal of the voltmeter.


What might happen to the bulb if you added too many extra batteries to the circuit?

If you added the batteries in parallel, then the bulb would stay on for a long time and nobody would get any sleep. If you added the batteries in series, then the voltage across the bulb would eventually become excessive and the bulb would burn out.


Does a light fixture spark if you don't have a light bulb in it and turn the power on?

There is no spark between the terminals inside the socket. For a spark to occur, it would have to meet or exceed the "sparkover voltage", however the gap is too large and the voltage is too low (see: Paschen's Law, and breakdown voltage).


What are the causes of a light bulb to be busted?

Too high wattage for the fixture or screwed in too tight>
