What else can I help you with?
What is indicated by reading of battery voltage on the side of component?
That a short to ground exists in the circuit.
Voltage reading for a fully charged Battery?
12v
Why battery voltage reading decrease when you accelerate the engine?
Alternator is defective.
What component recharges a vehicle's battery?
The alternator, in cooperation with the voltage regulator and the charge relay.
When the ammeter reading is zero and there are four resistor connected in seriesusing voltmeter identify which resistor causes the problem?
The ammeter is reading zero because there is no current flowing. This is because one of the resistors is faulty; the faulty resistor has an "open circuit" (open circuit means there is a broken connection). We know that: Ohms law is: V = I x R (voltage = current x resistance) Therefore because there is zero current in each resistor there will be zero voltage across each resistor. However we also know that: Kirchhoff's voltage law is: V1 +V2 +V3 + … = Vs (the sum of the voltage drops accross each component in a circuit MUST equal the supply (or battery) voltage). But if all the resistors are zero volts, then what component equals the supply (or battery) voltage? The battery voltage is developed across the open circuit… therefore the resistor which is faulty will have a voltage across it equal to the battery voltage. That easy to measure with a volt meter! hope this helps
What information can you glean from taking a voltage reading on a battery?
Taking a voltage reading on a battery provides insight into its current state of charge and overall health. A fully charged battery typically shows a voltage close to its rated voltage, while a significantly lower reading may indicate it is partially discharged or defective. Additionally, comparing voltage readings over time can help identify issues such as self-discharge or capacity loss. However, voltage alone does not provide a complete picture of a battery's condition; other factors like current capacity and internal resistance should also be considered.
Where is the voltage regulator on a 1994 Honda Prelude?
just follow the positive line coming from the battery. The first component it meets should be the voltage regulator.
What is One instrument that can be used to measure cell voltage in lead acid battery?
A multimeter is an instrument that can be used to measure cell voltage in a lead-acid battery. By setting the multimeter to the appropriate voltage range, you can connect the probes to the battery terminals to obtain a direct reading of the voltage of the battery or individual cells. This helps assess the state of charge and overall health of the battery.
What is a good voltage reading for a 12 volt battery?
For lead-acid chemistry, as in a car battery, think 13.6 volts DC.
Why can't you use a multitester as an ohmmeter if it has no battery?
The battery is used by the meter to apply a voltage across the resistance being measured and determine the current which determines the resistance. If there is no battery it can't supply the voltage and can't measure current, so no reading.
How is a simple ohmmeter constructed?
A simple ohmmeter is constructed using a battery, a galvanometer, and a set of resistors. The battery supplies a constant voltage, while the galvanometer measures the current flowing through the circuit when a resistor is connected. The resistance is calculated using Ohm's Law (R = V/I), where V is the battery voltage and I is the current indicated by the galvanometer. The device may also include a scale or a dial to provide a direct reading of resistance values.
What is the reading on your alternator supposed to be?
With the battery fully charged (12.68 Volts) and a volt meter connected to the positive and negative battery posts, run engine at idle with no accessories on, voltage reading should be aprox 14.2.
