This is not a Yes/No answer, as the answer depends on the AC power sources used. There are two factors:

- Frequency: e.g. in the USA the powergrid its AC frequency is 60Hz

- Phase: an AC power source its voltage rises up and down with a certain frequency. When you take 2 AC sources, Phase is the shift between those two (this is often expressed in an angle).

If the AC power sources have the same frequency and there is no phase shift, then the AC Voltage will double when you serialize the two.

However, If the two sources are 180 degrees (or PI radians) out of phase, then they will cancel each-other out. Imagine AC current like the ripples in a pond when you throw 2 stones in the water 2 feet apart: The ripples flow out in a circular pattern from the center of the spot where a stone hit the water. Where the 2 circles meet, you'll notice that a some spots there is no activity (the ripples cancel each other out) and at other spots the ripples are higher.

If the voltage in a resistive is double the power will be?

In a resistive load circuit, the power = multiplication of voltage and Current. By increasing the voltage power will not be increased. Power is defined by the load as per its design. If the voltage is higher the load current will reduce. However running a load at double the rated voltage is not good for the device. Insulation may fail.


Should Power sources connected in parallel have the same voltage rating?

yes


When current flow in electrical circuit is 2 amps what will the current flow be if the power doubles and the voltage remains the same?

Since power is voltage times amperes, in order to double the power while voltage remains the same, you must double the current - 4 amps in this case.


What are three sources of power for control circuit?

Three sources of power for control circuits are batteries, power supplies, and solar panels. These sources provide the necessary voltage and current to operate control devices and components in a circuit.


Is power proportional to voltage squared?

Yes, power is directly proportional to current. Power is equal to amps times volts, and as current goes up (with voltage remaining constant), power will go up. Double current, and you'll double power. Cut current in half, and you'll cut power in half. (Voltage stays the same in all this).


If the current flowing through an electric heater increases from 6 to 12 amp while the voltage remains the same the heat produced by the heater will be what?

Since power is current times voltage, doubling current while keeping voltage the same will double the power. Ignoring slight non-linearity, if the power doubles, the heat will double.


What process will double the power dissipated by a resistor?

Increase the voltage across the resistor by 41.4% .


Where can you find a Vcc on Multisim?

In Multisim, a Vcc (voltage supply) can typically be found in the "Sources" section of the Component toolbar. You can search for "DC Power" or "Power Sources" in the component browser. Once located, you can drag and drop the Vcc component into your schematic to provide the necessary voltage supply for your circuit.


What would be the result if two batteries are connected in series in terms of power and voltage and current?

If two identical batteries were connected in series, the resulting voltage would double, the available current would remain the same, and the available power would double. Note that, by Ohm's Law and the Power Law, doubling the voltage into a set resistance would double the current and quadruple the power. This is inconsistent with the battery's ability to provide a certain current, so you would also need to double the load resistance, otherwise you could damage the battery.


How does voltage come from a candle?

Voltage does not come from a candle. A candle produces light and heat through a chemical reaction when the candle wax is burned. Voltage is typically generated by batteries or power sources that convert energy from various sources into electrical potential.


What is the Ripple frequency of full wave voltage doubler?

It's double the frequency of the power source.


What is a dangerous Power Source?

A dangerous power source is one that has the potential to cause harm to individuals or the environment if not managed properly. This can include sources such as nuclear power, high-voltage electricity, or volatile chemicals. Proper safety measures and regulations are crucial to prevent accidents and mitigate risks associated with these power sources.
