The biggest advantage of the Wheatstone bridge is the accuracy of the resistance readings. I had two cables short out underground, by knowing the resistance of the wires per foot I located the fault within 3 feet of where the two wires touched each other.

Explain the rheostat and its advantages in electric circuits?

Advantages in electric circuits : Advantages of using the rheostat in electric circuits is optional as you could just use the dial on the power-supply to vary the voltage (p.d.), and therefore the current. The advantage of using the rheostat is that you can control it to give you nice even numbers for the voltage.


How many amps does a 0.05 transformer provide?

You have not provide enough information. You don't explain what 0.05 references. You need to know the secondary voltage and resistance to calculate current.


Why do you get 240 volt on 1 leg 2pole breaker box residential power?

To answer this question you have to explain where you are measuring this voltage. Between what two points in the electrical panel. Use the discussion page for help.


Overhead cables are made of almunium not of copper explain?

Much of the newer overhead cables is made of aluminum with steel reinforcing it for strenght purposes. Aluminimum is much cheap, and much lighter, thus it is cheaper to use vs. copper for high voltage transmission, and copper has a lower resistance which means more electricity can get through the wire/ cable, which means more electricity can get around the world quicker. most people should use copper becasue it has a lower resistance where aluminuim has a bit of a high resistance not to much but a bit so that is why you use copper not alominuim.
