Resistance calculations are the same no matter what the polarity of applied voltage. R=E/I Resistance (in ohms) = Voltage (in volts) divided by Current (in amperes)

What is negative 48 volt DC voltage?

Negative 48 volt DC voltage is simply a voltage that is negative 48 volts with respect to ground. This voltage is widely used in telecommunication systems.


How to calculate the resistance to step down DC voltage?

Connect a variable resistance across DC source (fixed ends of variable resistor or Rheostat) and take decreased DC output across its one fixed terminal and other variable terminal of variable resistor. Other method is connect variable resistor in series with DC output and load, vary the resistance and take decreased DC voltage as required.


Will lower DC voltage or higher DC voltage burn out switch contacts faster if current and resistance stay the same?

if there is resistance in the contact surface , it would heat up more with higher voltage .


How do you convert DC Voltage to DC Amperage?

You don't convert DC voltage to DC amperage. You get it automaticly when you have a resistance in your circuit. Scroll down to related links and look at "Ohm's law - Wikipedia".


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.


How do you decrease voltage in dc without decreasing amperage?

In order to decrease voltage without decreasing amperes you have to also decrease resistance. Ohm's Law: Voltage = current times resistance


What are the three main function of the multimeter?

A typical multimeter can measure: * AC & DC voltage (volt) * AC & DC current (amp) * resistance (ohm)


What limits the current that flows through a circuit for a particular appllied DC voltage?

What are the differences in voltage drop between AC and DC systems?

In AC systems, voltage drop is affected by factors like resistance and reactance, leading to a more complex calculation. In DC systems, voltage drop is mainly influenced by resistance, resulting in a more straightforward calculation.


Why does a ac voltage applied across a load resistance produce alternating current in the circuit?

Because V = I x R or Voltage = Current x Resistance. Since resistance is linear there is a linear relationship between Current and voltage. If you have DC voltage you have DC current and if you have AC Voltage you have AC current. Note that there is a linguistic recognition of this relationship in that the voltage is described in terms of the current.
