How does time relate to degrees in an AC sine wave?

One cycle of the sine wave is equal to 360 degrees. In US the frequency of power is typically 60 Hz and hence one cycle is 1/60 of a second. Therefore you can calculate the degrees at any instant of time. If at zero degrees the voltage amplitude is zero, then at 90 degrees,which is 1/4 cycle, wave is at peak voltage. At 180 degrees it is at 1/2 cycle and zero voltage and then at 270 degrees it is 3/4 of the cycle and a peak negative voltage. Finally at 360 degrees the cycle is complete and the voltage is again zero.


What is the instantaneous voltage at 180 degrees for peak voltage of 150 volts?

Zero. If voltage starts at zero at zero degrees, it rises to peak voltage at 90 degrees. Voltage then reaches zero at 180 degrees and heads for negative peak voltage at 270 degrees and then back to zero at 360 degrees.


How many degrees are the current and voltage out of phase in a pure capacitive circuit?

In a pure (ideal) capacitive circuit, current leads voltage by 90 degrees.


What is the voltage at the 90 degree point of a sine wave with a maximum voltage of 10 volts?

10 Volts. ANSWER: ASSUMING a start when the voltage is at 0 and 0 degrees at 90 degrees is at maximum at 180 degrees is again at 0 v at 270 degrees is at the maximum negative potential and at 360 degrees is again at 0 v. the voltage is irrelevant in any case but it will follow these rules


Does a bigger sized battery have a greater voltage?

A larger voltage rating: yes, of course. A larger size rating: these are not normally related to the voltage rating, which is separate. A larger physical size: normally this means a greater voltage, but again, they are not directly related to the voltage rating. Size has nothing to do with voltage. Battery voltage is controlled by the number of cells in the battery. Plate size affects current delivery.


How can you inactivate a voltage source?

Disconnect it (that's what a switch normally does).


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.

The voltage potential supplying conductor.


What is the normally set voltage of each cell in VRLA battery?

2.00V


What is the practical purpose of a voltage converter?

A voltage converted can allow you to use electronics from other countries that you wouldn't normally use. Also, incorrect voltage can damage machines.


Can you add 110 from another power source to 220 to get a usable 3 phase 240?

Short answer, no. Three phase line voltage is 120 degrees apart in separation. Single phase is 180 degrees apart. To maintain the injected voltage at 90 degrees to the single phase voltage would be nearly impossible to control.


What is status of a circuit that is complete and unbroken with flowing electric current?

A circuit that is complete and unbroken with flowing electric current normally has steady supply of voltage with no broken links. Electrical energy flows to light up a bulb or do similar work. Its status is complete, nothing else is needed.
