Ac voltage applied across a load resistance produce alternating current?
The reason an AC voltage applied across a load resistance produces alternating current is because when you have AC voltage you have to have AC current. If DC voltage is applied, DC current is produced.
What component in a battery governs current flow?
Current flow is governed by the size of the battery and the load that is applied to the battery By current you are asking for the amperage flow By Danny from Bee Mech Mobile Mechanics Find us at www.beemech.com.au
What is the current in a 1.5V Alkaline battery?
The current depends on what is connected to the battery's terminals. If nothing is connected to it, then there is no current, and the battery lasts quite a while. In general, the current is 1.5/resistance of the external circuit connected to the battery until that number gets too big, and then the voltage of the battery sags, because it can't deliver that much current.
Measure battery current?
To measure battery current, you can use a multimeter set to measure current in series with the battery. Connect the multimeter in series between the battery and the load to measure the current flowing from the battery to the load. Make sure to select the appropriate current range on the multimeter to avoid damaging the instrument.
What is the voltage and ma of 4 C Batteries?
A C dry cell battery has a voltage of 1.5 volts. The amperage produced by the battery is dependant upon what the load current is of the connected device. The higher the load current the quicker the battery will discharge, shortening the life of the battery. Rechargeable C cells will have to be recharged at this point in time. Four cells in parallel will produce a total of 1.5 volts. Four cells in series will produce a voltage of 6 volts.
What uses chemical reactions to create an electrical current?
A battery uses chemical reactions to create an electrical current. This occurs through the movement of ions between two electrodes (anode and cathode) in the battery, generating a flow of electrons that can be used as electrical power.
Does a battery last longer in a series or parallel circuit?
A battery doesn't see a series or parallel circuit. It just supplies the current that is demanded by the load be it a series or parallel load. Visualize that a single load across a battery is both a series and parallel load to the battery.
What type of connection produce high current?
A device with a low resistive load will produce a high current in a series circuit.
What is the current if a 9v battery is put through a 5v regulator?
It depends on the load. If there is no load, it will only draw the regulator's quiescent current, specified on the datasheet.
How do you calculate ah of battery?
You could put a know resistive load on the battery and then monitor the voltage across the load until the battery was at zero volts. Using Ohm's Law you can calculate the current at any time. Current = Voltage / Resistance. You can multiply the average current times the number of hours for the battery to go to zero.
What type of series connection will produce a high current?
A device with a low resistive load will produce a high current in a series circuit.
How does an alternator produce different amps?
It depends on the load and the voltage. In an automobile, a battery will typically have a voltage of about 12 Volts. If the engine is not running and you turn on the lights, the lights will start drawing current from the battery and the voltage will drop by a volt or so, depending on how strong a charge the battery has. An alternator will produce in the neighborhood of 15 Volts. If it is trying to push current into a system with a fully charged battery, it will only be able to push a few amps. If the voltage in the battery drops, the alternator will be able to push more amps. A completely dead battery will draw the most current (amps).
