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)

How do you calculate voltage's ampere's resistances in dc automobile systems?

Ohm's Law applies where Voltage = Current x Resistance


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?

The voltage applied and the resistance across it.


How many things can a multi meter measure?

Resistance Voltage (both AC and DC) Current (both AC and DC)


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.


Will you get a electric shock when the negative terminal of the dc power supply is grounded and the positive terminal is held by us?

Only if we are also in contact, directly or indirectly, with ground. By ohm's law, current is voltage divided by resistance. Conductance is the inverse of resistance, so current is voltage times conductance. No conductance - no current.
