Assuming you are talking about an earth (or ground) electrode, then applying d.c. results in electrolytic action which separates charges within the soil, giving a false indication of resistance.

Why ac current is used in conductometric titration?

AC current is used in conductometric titration because it eliminates problems related to polarization and electrode fouling that can occur with DC current. AC current helps to ensure a stable and reliable measurement of the conductivity changes during the titration process, leading to more accurate and precise results.


What is AC forward resistance?

AC forward resistance refers to the effective resistance experienced by an alternating current (AC) signal as it passes through a diode in the forward-bias direction. It is influenced by the diode's intrinsic resistance, as well as the capacitance and inductance of the diode. The AC forward resistance can impact the efficiency and performance of the diode in rectifying AC signals.


What is the resistance of an inductor called?

The resistance of an inductor is generally referred to as the series resistance, sometimes noted as RL. Note that resistance is a DC measurement and that an "ideal" textbook inductor has an RL of 0. The reactance of an inductor is an AC measurement which measures the reaction of a component's current flow to an alternating voltage and is frequency dependent and directly proportional to the inductor's inductance, measured in Henrie's. The impedance is most commonly used when talking about inductors or capacitors and is a combination of resistance and reactance.


When to use dc welding machine and ac welding machine?

Dc welding can be used for non consumable electrodes with consumable electrode heat is transferred from electrode to work by molten metal. Ac welding is desirable for aluminum and magnesium, because it helps break up oxides AC is more stable than Dc.


What is meant by the equivalent impedance of a parallel ac circuit?

This is similar to "equivalent resistance", but impedance is a more accurate concept in the case of AC.The equivalent resistance (or equivalent impedance) means that if you replace all the resistances under consideration with one equivalent resistance, the result on the circuit will be the same.This is similar to "equivalent resistance", but impedance is a more accurate concept in the case of AC.The equivalent resistance (or equivalent impedance) means that if you replace all the resistances under consideration with one equivalent resistance, the result on the circuit will be the same.This is similar to "equivalent resistance", but impedance is a more accurate concept in the case of AC.The equivalent resistance (or equivalent impedance) means that if you replace all the resistances under consideration with one equivalent resistance, the result on the circuit will be the same.This is similar to "equivalent resistance", but impedance is a more accurate concept in the case of AC.The equivalent resistance (or equivalent impedance) means that if you replace all the resistances under consideration with one equivalent resistance, the result on the circuit will be the same.


Is resistor an ohmic device in ac circuit?

Well, yes, sort of. "Ohm" is a measurement of resistance, so I would say yes. Although I'm not sure of 'ohmic' is really a word


How do you find the ac resistance of a diode?

The ac resistance of a diode is found using the equation: (The change in Vd)/(The change in Id) An easier was is to use the Equation: 26mV / Id. This is a general form as the ac resistance of a diode change as the temperature changes.


Why resistance doesnot depend on frequency of ac?

Because Resistance is material property...


What is the opposition to the current flow?

resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric charge


What is ac resistance of a diode?

ratio of ac voltage applied across the diode to the ac current flowing through it


What is the total opposition to a current flow in an AC circuit with both resistance and reactance?

Resistance


What is a difference between DC and ac resistance and expline DC resistasce?

DC is just direct current into a resistance it is a linear function. AC if the resistance is non reactive it would be the same linear function.
