When we talk about the house hold supply which is 230V AC. This means in the positive direction it reaches a peak of 325V at 90 deg , touches zero at 180 degrees. It touches its negative maximum that is -325V at 270 degrees and finally touches zero at 360 degrees. The measurements all done with respect to neutral wire. This can be observed directly using an ISOLATED oscilloscope.

How do you connect a wire to make the bulb light?

To connect a wire to make a bulb light up, you need to complete an electric circuit. This involves connecting one end of the wire to the positive terminal of a power source (such as a battery) and the other end to the bulb's positive terminal. Then, connect the negative terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the bulb to complete the circuit and allow electricity to flow, causing the bulb to light up.


What do you do when you have a negative number to a negative exponent?

it would be a negative multiplied by a negative and your answer should end up positive.


How you convert pure ac to pure dc?

The general type of circuit is called a full wave bridge that is made from 4-diodes and a filtering circuit to reduce ripple in the output. Ripple would be slight variations in the DC output. A key component in the filter is a capacitor. Look up full wave bridge for schematic diagram. Basically it converts the negative part of the AC signal to positive.


Is the test light supposed to light up when you use the ground from the battery or only light up from the positive side?

If the alligator clip from the test light is attached to the negative post of the battery it will light up whenever the probe end touches a positively charged circuit and likewise if the alligator clip is attached to the positive terminal of the battery the test light will light up when the probe end touches a negatively charged circuit


What happens if you mix 134a with R-12 freon in your car AC?

You end up destroying your AC system.


Can amps go up if volts goes down in AC?

Yes, if the voltage in an AC circuit decreases, the current may increase to compensate and maintain power (P = V * I). This relationship is governed by Ohm's Law, where current is inversely proportional to voltage in an AC circuit with a constant impedance.


How current electricity moves in a circuit?

You need a source of electrical potential difference, also known as voltage (which is the technical term for what for you call "electric pressure"). The easiest and most common voltage source is a household battery. Hook up the positive electrode of the battery using a conductor (eg. a copper wire) to one end of your circuit and the negative electrode to the other end, and voila, you'll have electric current flowing through your circuit.


What if you divide a negative by a positive?

You will end up with a negative value. It does not matter whether the numerator or denominator is negative. If either value is negative, the answer will be negative.


What is the direction of flow of current in a cell?

Current doesn't flow inside the cell. The cell is used to push current through an external circuit. The so-called "conventional" current flows out of the positive terminal of the cell, through the circuit, and back into the negative terminal of the cell. The confusing truth is that the actual physical carrier of current is the electron, which carries a negative charge. So the things that are actually moving and carrying the current through the circuit leave the dry cell from its negative terminal, physically flow through the circuit, and end up at the cell's positive terminal.

How do you wire 6 batteries?

Depends on if you want a series or parallel circuit. In a series circuit if you wire six 12 volt batteries together you will end up with 72 volts. Wire the same six 12 volt batteries together in parallel and you will still have 12 volts. In a parallel circuit you just wire all positive posts together and all negative posts together. In a series circuit you would wire positive to negative to increase the voltage with each battery added.


Why inductor block ac and pass dc?

When your circuit starts up, your inductor creates an electrical current in the opposite direction. With dc, this effect vanished after the circuit is started. With ac, the current keeps starting and stopping so the inductor keeps creating a current in the opposite direction.
