What is the difference between a resistor and an inductor?
Both a resistor and an inductor are electrical components designed to impede the unregulated flow of electricity. Where they differ is that inductors store energy in their induction coils which forms a magnetic field that focuses energy by the principle of inductance. As electricity passes into the inductor, current will slowly rise to a specified level. A resistor simply impedes the flow of electricity according to its property, but does not store energy. It also does not control the rate at which the current changes, it just changes the current allowed to pass through.
Which type of filter is independent of load why?
LC filter It is a combination of inductor and capacitor filter. Here an inductor is connected in series and a capacitor is connected in parallel to the load as shown in fig 5.6. As discussed earlier, a series inductor filter will reduce the ripple, when increasing the load current. But in case of a capacitor filter it is reverse that when increasing current the ripple also increases. So a combination of these two filters would make ripple independent of load current. The ripple factor of a chock input filter is given by Since the d.c. resistance of the inductor is very low it allows d.c. current to flow easily through it. The capacitor appears open for d.c. and so all d.c. component passes through it. The capacitor appears open for d.c. and so all d.c components passes through the load resistor RL. Bleeder resistor For optimum functioning, the inductor requires a minimum current to flow through, at all time. When the current falls below this rat, the output will increase sharply and hence the regulation become poor. To keep up the circuit current above this minimum value, a resistor is permanently connected across the filtering capacitor and is called bleeder resistor. This resistor always draws a minimum current even if the external load is removed. It also provides a path for the capacitor to discharge when power supply is turned off.
Why must the instantaneous current wave be exact 90 degree out-of phase with the applied voltage waveform across an ideal inductor?
Because the voltage induced is proportional to the rate of change of current, and the maximum rate of change of current occurs at the point where the current waveform is 'steepest' -i.e. as it passes through zero. So, as the current passes through zero, the corresponding value of induced voltage is maximum, which means the voltage and current waveforms are displaced by a quarter of the wavelength, or 90 degrees.
What happens when too much electrical current passes through the metal strip on a fuse?
It will burn out.
Do charges move from a source of potential difference into a load or through both the source and the load?
As the circuit must be a closed loop, the current passes through both the source and load. If it was not a closed loop no current could flow anywhere.
How current passes through resistor.?
What is the current running through resistor four?1 amps..!What is the current running through resistor one? 3 amps...!What is the current running through resistor three? 2amps..!What is the current running through resistor five? 3 amps..!What is the voltage drop running through resistor five? 45 volts...!What is the equivalent resistance through the parallel portion of the circuit? 6 ohmsAnswerA resistor is a conductor, albeit one with a higher resistance than a length of wire, so current passes through it without any problem. The magnitude of the current will, of course, be somewhat lower because of the additional resistance.
What is the power of a parallel circuit with a resistance of 1000 and a current of0.03 a?
I don't know what the parallel circuit has to do with it. You've onlygiven me a resistor and the current through it.When 0.03A of current passes through a 1,000Ω resistor, the resistordissipates energy at the rate of 0.9 watt.
What will happen to an electric wire if a large current passes through it?
It will get hot.
Can resistor work on ac power supply?
Resistors don't care whether a d.c. or an a.c. current passes through them. So, yes, they can.
What happen when electric current passes through acidified water?
when electric current is passed through acidified water hydrogen gas is released at the cathode..
What happens when an electric current passes through steam?
Basically, if you fill a room with steam and pass an electrical current through it... Does anything interesting happen?
How does current flow around a circuit?
current in a circuit will flow in a unidirectional manner and when it passes through a resistor in the circuit it opposes its direction
How do i find the current after it passes through a resistor?
Current can be measured with an ammeter. If you want to calculate it from other values, you will quite often use Ohm's Law (just divide voltage by resistance, if you know the resistance value of the resistor) - or perhaps a combination of Ohm's Law and Kirchoff's Laws.
When a current flows through an electric bell what will happen to the armature?
When current passes through an electric bell, the armature gets magnetised and attracts the gong hence ringing the bell.
What happen to an electric current after it passes through each bulb?
There is a piece of filament in every light bulb, which has so much friction that when the electric current passes through it, heat energy is produced. This heat energy is then converted to light energy.
What will happen if you pass ac current passes through a inductor?
magnetic flux will be induced its use to rotate the shaft or given some force
What cold current passes through the Atacama's desert?
No current passes through the Atacama Desert but the Humbolt, or Peruvian Current, passes just off shore and has a great influence on the climate of the Atacama.
