Usually in a 230 volt situation, there are three wires. One wire is called neutral or ground. When you hook a motor or lamp between one wire and neutral, you get 115 volts. They are designated usually as L1, L2 and neutral. Things hooked between L1 and L2 are at 230 volts. Anything between L1 and neutral or L2 and neutral are at 120 volts.

A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?

A circuit that has only one path for the current is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, the components are connected end-to-end, creating a single pathway for the flow of electricity. This means that the current passing through each component is the same, making series circuits useful for applications where a consistent current is needed.


Where is the circuit breaker for a hot water heater?

The best way to determine which circuit breaker is for the water heater is with a voltage meter, It is suppose to be only one circuit breaker, but in a faulty application it could be two breakers


Should a resistor go on the positive or negative side of an LED?

It does not matter. Kirchoff's Current Law states that the signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero. A consequence of that law is that the current in every part of a series circuit is the same. The only thing that resistor location affects is the potential voltage of the LED terminals with respect to the rest of the circuit. Certainly, if you are driving the LED with high voltage, such as 120VAC, you should consider the resistor location so as to reduce electrocution hazard but, the LED's performance is not affected by resistor location in the circuit.


What circuit has only one path to take?

In a series circuit, the current has only one path to take.


What happen if you connect capacitor and resistor in parallel in low pass filter?

Only frequencies in the pass band range will be allowed through the circuit. Other frequencies will be attenuated based on the RC values picked.

What will happen if someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder?

If someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder, the circuit will be open and the lamp will not light. This is the same principal that a switch in the circuit does. It opens and closes the circuit.


What is a dedicated circuit?

A "dedicated" circuit is one to which only one device is or can be connected; therefore the circuit is "dedicated" to the device. A NON dedicated circuit will therefore be one to which multiple devices can connect, such as the wall outlets in your home. Multiple wall outlets are connected to a common circuit breaker, making that an example of a non-dedicated circuit.


How many laptops could you run on one 20 amp circut?

It is recommended to only connect one laptop per 20 amp circuit to ensure it operates safely and efficiently. Attempting to connect multiple laptops on the same circuit could overload it and cause the circuit breaker to trip.


Can I use a 12v 18 amp battery and connect to a circuit that asks for 12v Static current 6mA Can I use resistors to lower the amps on the 12v 18amp battery or can I just connect it up?

Just connect the circuit. It will only draw the amps it needs to operate. It is just like connecting a 100 watt light bulb that draws way less than 1 amp, to a 20 amp household circuit.


What is the part of a circuit that connects or disconnects the circuit?

Switches, fuses and circuit breakers are examples of some of the electrical parts which can connect or disconnect a circuit to a source of current. A diode does it for alternating current, but only for one half of each cycle. "Connecting" allows an electric current to flow through the circuit. "Disconnecting" stops an electric current from flowing through the circuit.


All circuit boards contain microchips?

Circuit board is the name for the place / board that parts are put on to to make a circuit. All circuit do not have to have a microchip but that board will not do anything fancy. A speaker crossover for example is the only thing I can think of. All micro chips will need a circuit board to connect power, inputs, outputs, or just to mount into a package.


How many wires must a current have?

Current needs only one wire to flow in, but a circuit needs at least two wires to connect the source to the load.

Do credit unions have a physical location available online?

"Physical location" and "online" are opposites. You can't have a physical location online. You can only have an online location online.Credit unions usually have both physical locations and online locations.
