No, this will not work. Postitive to Negative/Negative to Positive will work.

In a DC circuit must the positive and negative conductors be the same size if not how is the size difference determined?

Yes, since the current is the same through out the complete circuit. the design size of the conductor entering the circuit should be the same size as the conductor leaving the circuit.


Why did the other bulb go out also when you unscrewed the circuit?

Without seeing the circuit involved no real answer can be given. I would guess you have a diagram of the circuit, tracing it out should answer your question.


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.


Which direction do you put arrows in the circuit diagrams?

We will put the arrows in the circuit diagram from negative terminal to the positive terminal🤗🤗 Thanks..................


What precautions should be taken when connecting an electrolytic capacitor in circuit?

Most electrolytic caps are polarized, so they will only go in a DC circuit one way - if you reverse them, they will explode (wear goggles!).

Does an ammeter have a positive and negative terminal?

Yes, an ammeter typically has positive and negative terminals, which are used to indicate the direction of current flow. When connecting an ammeter in a circuit, the positive terminal should be connected to the more positive point in the circuit, while the negative terminal should be connected to the more negative point. This ensures accurate readings of the current flowing through the circuit. However, some ammeters can measure current in either direction without damage, depending on their design.


What is the function of the positive terminal in an electrical circuit?

The positive terminal in an electrical circuit serves as the point where current flows into the circuit from an external power source, providing the energy needed for the circuit to operate.


Are cathodes positive in an electrical circuit?

No, cathodes are negative in an electrical circuit.


What is through a discontinuous circuit which no current can flow?

meaning that the current from your power source doesn't return to the positive end (electricity flows from - negative, to + positive)


Does electricity travel from positive to negative or negative to positive in a circuit?

It goes negative to positive.


What wire in a circuit should contain the fuse?

The wire that connects the power source to the rest of the circuit should contain the fuse. This is typically the wire that leads directly from the positive terminal of the battery or power source. Placing the fuse in this wire helps protect the circuit in case of a short circuit or overload.


In a DC circuit must the positive and negative conductors be the same size if not how is the size difference determined?

Yes, since the current is the same through out the complete circuit. the design size of the conductor entering the circuit should be the same size as the conductor leaving the circuit.
