Why voltage leads in Inductor?

Maximum induced voltage occurs when the current is changing at its greatest rate -this occurs when the current passes through zero. Since this voltage acts to oppose current flow, this maximum voltage acts in the negative sense when the current is acting in the positive direction. Since the supply voltage is equal, but opposite, the induced voltage, it is maximum when the current is zero -so leads by 90 degrees.


If an AC voltage begins rising or going positive at 0 degrees when will it reach its maximum negative value?

It's a sine wave (if there is no distortion). Voltage is zero at 0 degrees, at its positive peak at 90 degrees, back to zero at 180 degrees, at its negative peak at 270 degrees, and back to zero at 360 degrees.


How much time is the maximum positive current behind the maximum positive voltage when the current lags the voltage by 90 degrees?

It depends on the periodic time of the supply which, in turn, is determined by the supply frequency. So, work out the periodic time of a 50 or 60-Hz waveform, and go from there.


At what phase angle is the voltage momentarily constant in a sine wave?

We often see the peak and trough (maximum positive and maximum negative excursions) of the sine wave considered as points of momentarily constant voltage. Those points are at phase angles of 90 degrees and at 270 degrees.


Where would yoube if you were at the maximum latitude?

-- At the maximum positive latitude, you would be at the north pole. -- At the maximum negative latitude, you would be at the south pole.


Why current lead voltage in coil?

because a coil is an inductor,for current leads voltage in an inductorAnswerIt doesn't! Current lags voltage in a coil. In a purely-inductive circuit, the current lags the supply voltage by 90 degrees. The reason for this is 'self inductance'. Whenever a current changes, a voltage is induced into the coil which opposes that change in current. The maximum self-induced voltage occurs when the rate of change in current is greatest. The greatest positive rate of change of a.c. current occurs when that current is passing through the zero axis of its waveform, so the greatest (negative) induced voltage occurs at thatsame point, which is one-quarter of the wavelength, or 90 degrees. In accordance with Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, the supply voltage must be in antiphase with the induced voltage. So when the peak induced voltage is negative, the peak applied voltage must be positive. Or, to put it another way, the peak value of the applied voltage must occur 90 degrees before the peak value of the current -so the current lags the applied voltage by 90 degrees.


What is the maximum product of two numbers if their sum is -12?

It would be 36 since a negative times a negative is positive. A negative times a positive is negative.-6*-6=36-7*-5=35-5*-7=35...


Which is best positive feedback or negative feedback?

Obviously,it depends on the situation. consider a transistor amplifier.To minimize the change in collector current with respect to temperature,collector to base bias is used . This circuit uses a NEGATIVE FEEDBACK in order to compensate the rise in output current with temperature. But in order to achieve maximum gain, the same circuit can use POSITIVE FEEDBACK by connecting the amplified output to the input .


Maximum distance a wave vibrates from its rest position?

The maximum distance is called its peak. The distance between the wave's positive and negative peaks is its amplitude.


The electric device which blocks DC but allows AC is called?

A capacitor is a device which blocks DC, but allows AC. When a capacitor is completely charged it does not allow current to pass through it. Initially when capacitor starts charging it has maximum current which flows and voltage is minimum, during charging current decreases with time and voltage increases. When capacitor is completely charged, it has maximum voltage and minimum current. However the AC has both positive and negative half cycles, during positive half cycle capacitor starts charging but during negative half cycle it discharges, and hence it doesn't get fully charged at AC, and current always flows through it.


Where does negative end up in AC circuit?

When we talk about the house hold supply which is 230V AC. This means in the positive direction it reaches a peak of 325V at 90 deg , touches zero at 180 degrees. It touches its negative maximum that is -325V at 270 degrees and finally touches zero at 360 degrees. The measurements all done with respect to neutral wire. This can be observed directly using an ISOLATED oscilloscope.


What is The magnitude of an alternation which varies from zero is called its?

I will first answer this from an electrical viewpoint. The maximum positive excursion from zero would be the PEAK, or MAXIMUM portion of the cycle. From a magnetic point, it would be POSITIVE. The negative excursion of the electrical cycle (below zero) would be the MINIMUM. It would be NEGATIVE from a magnetic perspective.
