Is the load prong on a toggle switch the constant power source?
No the power comes from something other than the switch.
Can small permanent magnet motors be reverse direction if the direction of current flow to the motor is reverse?
Permanent magnet field motors. With a these motors, a permanent magnet is used to replace the field coil. DC power is connected via the brushes, to the armature only. Reversing the polarity, will cause the motor to reverse its direction of rotation. It is very common to use a switch to intentionally reverse to the polarity, to allow reversal of the motor if desired.
How do maglev trains slow down?
You slowly decrease the power of the electromagnets.
Can a power surge cause a motor to go into reverse polarity?
No. If you have phase 1, 2, 3 (in that order), and phase 1 is the highest voltage at the instant a switching event occurs (causing a power surge), the surge voltage will be highest in phase 1. For polarity to change, you would need phase 2 to instantaneously change to greater than 1, which will not happen.
A PNP transistor is connected in a circuit so that the collector-base junction remains reverse biased and the emitter-base junction is forward biased This transistor can be used as a power amplifi?
No freaking way but it would make an excellent low level switch if forced at beta of 10
Would reverse polarity cause equipment to run even if switch is off?
The case of reverse polarity would only happen on a DC system. As to would it cause equipment to run when switched off, no, if the switch opens the equipment's power supply completely the device will not operate.
What is a synonym for toggle?
Synonyms for toggle: adjuster, dial, knob, on/off, power switch, switch, tuner, push button
Is the load prong on a toggle switch the constant power source?
No the power comes from something other than the switch.
How do you test reverse power trip?
There is a test swich which will change the polarity of the sensors........
How can you rewire a washer fluid motor to just a toggle switch on an 88' Chevy Beretta?
Yes! Find the wires going to the washer switch and just use a toggle switch in it's place. If you can't locate the wires, you can just run power straight to the motor from the toggle switch. I recommend you use a spring loaded on/off toggle switch, to make sure you don't accidentally leave it in the on position.
Is polarity important when using power tools?
Only if it is a battery power tool and you fit the battery in reverse.
Left side electric mirrow works right side does not motor or switch 2004 Columbia freightliner?
Requires further diagnosis. You'll have take out the interior door panel and test the connection at the motor to see if power is getting to it. With the switch not engaged, there'll be no power. With the switch engaged, there'll be power, but the polarity for up is reverse from when the switch is in the down position.

How does the power drill go in reverse?
Most power drills have a reverse switch near the trigger.
Differentiate between the terms reversed polarity and normal polarity?
Normal polarity is for the power to normally go from positive to negative, reverse polartity is to change the positive to a negative and the negative to a positive so the power goes the other way.
What is the difference between toggle switch and a push button?
A toggle switch is like a light switch. You flick (or 'toggle') the switch on or off and it stays in that position until you flick it again. You could compare a push button switch to a key on a keyboard. When you press a key momentarily it will display one letter on the screen. If you hold down the key, the same letter will repeat (e.g. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa). Toggle switches can also look like push button switches. Most power buttons on a desktop computer tower is a toggle switch. The reset button on a computer tower is a push button switch.
What is an example of reverse polarity?
Reverse polarity means connecting a power source, or polarised componenet, with the positive and negative poles the wrong way round. If the positive and negative supply is connected the wrong way round in electronic devices, it usually causes damage, because semiconductors are sensitive to polarity. Sometimes protection is provided, so that reverse polarity stops the device from working without causing damage. Connecting a diode (or rectifier) in reverse, will block the flow of current, without causing damage and is useful in protecting circuits from reverse polarity. In some consumer electronics (especially CB Radios) the power input has a recitifier across the 12v supply. If it is wired correctly, the rectifier is in reverse polarity, does not conduct and allows the radio to work. If you reverse the polarity of the power supply, the rectifier is now in full conduction, across the supply, causing a dead short. This shunts any power away from the radio and blows the fuse in the line, thus protecting it.
