this happen due to sudden amount of voltage drop in the main feeder due to large current drawn by the heater , so this drop in voltage will let the bulb operate by avltage of a mount (V-Vd) [where V represent the supply voltage and Vd represent the voltage drop in the main feeder of the circuit] , which is less than the voltage before the heater is connected and due to this situation the current passes through the wire of the bulb will be less and therefore the brightness of the bulb becomes dim.after a while the wire of the heater will has high temperature which increase its resistance and due to this the current drawn by the heater will decrease than the current at the first time , therefore the drop in voltage will also decrease , which implise increase in current drawn by the bulb and therefore the dimness decrease .

What happens when the emitter bypass capacitor is shorted?

Then gain becomes equal to hFe and thermal runaway becomes a problem. Further, the reduction of gain as frequency decreases is eliminated, so the stage's operation as a high pass filter is compromised.


If a parallel circuit shorts at the battery will the entire circuit short out too?

If at battery,parallel circuit shorts then equivalent resistance of circuit becomes approximately 0 Ohms,and therefore as current follows low resistance path infinite amount of current due to low resistance will flow through the wire so,entire parallel circuit will short out,but wire will burn and battery may get damaged.

Why induced emf alternates?

Here is A Simple answer for this question as you know that emf is induced in the conductor when there is change of flux linkage to the conductor which gives rise to the inducement of electric field in the conductor that provide drift velocity to the electrons hence emf is induced in the conductor but the last only till the change in flux in progress and becomes zero as soon as the flux linkages becomes constant hence we summaraize that for inducement of current there must be change in change of flux hence change in electric field that gives rise to allternating emf.


Which ways can one avoid water heater problems, and are there any ways to trouble shoot electric heaters?

In order to ensure that your electric water heater stays in good working order, you should regularly check for, or if unable to do yourself, have a maintenance person check for any damage or faulty wiring. Regularly inspecting the electrical connections, and piping can allow you to catch any deterioration or wear before it becomes a large problem.


What does this sentence mean fuses are the police officers of electric current?

Fuses protect an electrical circuit. When current in an electrical circuit becomes dangerously high the fuse will open protecting people and property. Police men/women protect people and property from the dregs of society.

What happens to the sound an object makes when the speed of vibrations decreases?

When the speed of vibrations decreases, the pitch of the sound produced by the object lowers. This is because the frequency of the vibrations decreases as well. As a result, the sound becomes deeper or lower in tone.

When ammonium chloride dissolves in a beaker of water the beaker becomes cold to the touch explain this phenomenon?

When the ammonium chloride dissolves in the water, it is an endothermic reaction. The energy for the reaction comes from the water. Since the water is losing energy, the temperature of the solution decreases, which in turn decreases the temperature of the beaker because of heat transfer.
