You have an 86 t-bird body with an 85 302 dropped into it but you have replaced the alternator and the battery it will start after a jump but only runs till you turn it off voltage regulator or belt?

Check alternnator/regulator output with a voltmeter A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without vehicle running A functioning charging system should read 13.8-14.2 with engine running


Why capacitors are not connected in series in power line?

capacitor's characteristic is charging and discharging. discharged energy will be dropped by load . so it is connected in parallel

What is the charging system output on a 2000 Harley Davidson Electra Glide?

It can't be more than about 15 amps. I have had my bike for 8 years and it has always dropped down to about 10.5 - 11 volts on the voltmeter at idle which isn't right. The voltage at the battery is more like 12.2 volts at idle. When you rev it up, the voltage eventually gets up to about 14 volts. I have replaced both the battery and the regulator. I think the stock alternator is too small for the load.

In order to minimize the power loss in an ampmeter its resistance should be?

Just like voltmeters, ammeters tend to influence the amount of current in the circuits they're connected to. However, unlike the ideal voltmeter, the ideal ammeter has zero internal resistance, so as to drop as little voltage as possible as electrons flow through it. Note that this ideal resistance value is exactly opposite as that of a voltmeter. With voltmeters, we want as little current to be drawn as possible from the circuit under test. With ammeters, we want as little voltage to be dropped as possible while conducting current.


My husband was arrested for a battery domestic and a onsite v.o.p the police report was false what do i do and will the charges be dropped on my husband?

If your husband was arrested for a battery-domestic charge and an onsite police report was taken and it was false, you can fight it in court. This will be the only way to get the charges dropped depending on what state you are in.
