Apart from a lot of loud humming, the motor would not turn, it would take a lot of current and, if the circuit breaker did not trip to cut the supply of current, it would probably overheat or might even catch on fire.

Can you reverse a DC permanent magnet brush motor?

Yes. Used on toy trains all the time.


What is the principle of operation of universal motor?

Similar to DC permanent magnet motor (which I'm assuming you understand); except the stator is not a permanent magnet but an electromagnet. There are 2 separate coils on the stator, which are connected in series with the brushes and armature: supply ----- stator segment --- brush - armature - brush --- stator segment ----- return Since the stator coil segments are wired in series with the armature, reversing the supply will *not* change the direction of rotation; as both magnetic fields will reverse together. (But a reversing switch affecting only the armature *will* reverse the rotation.) And since the motor will always turn in the same direction independent of the supply polarity, this means it will work equally well from DC or AC; and the supply frequency will not affect the rotation speed.


How could you find the purpose of a parallel circuit?

For an electrical load, such as a lamp, heater or motor, to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage which always corresponds to the supply voltage. For this to happen, individual loads must be connected in parallel with the supply and with each other. So all the electrical loads in your home, in your car, etc., are ALL connected in parallel.


Would reverse polarity cause equipment to run even if switch is off?

The case of reverse polarity would only happen on a DC system. As to would it cause equipment to run when switched off, no, if the switch opens the equipment's power supply completely the device will not operate.


Why do some appliances have step down transformers built into them?

Because the appliances operate at voltages that are lower than the mains (supply) voltage.

Advantage of using electromagnet in an electric motor rather than a permanent magnet?

convert electrical energy to energy of motion...! the usage of an electromagnet allows us to control the flow of electrons to the electric rotor,thereby allowing us to control the working of the rotor,whereas with a permanent magnet there will be a continuous supply of energy which can be stopped only if the magnet is damaged or heated.


What is the difference between magnets and electromagnet?

an electromagnet is a magnet which is activated by electricity and it ceases to be a magnet once the electric supply is stopped whereas a magnet is a natural magnet which does not need electricity and continues to be a magnet whether it is supplied by electricity or not.


How can you get 12volts supply from speaker?

You can not. Speakers do not supply a voltage they need a voltage to operate correctly.


What happens when a permanent magnet moving coil instrument be connected in an ac current?

The torque on the moving coil will reverse at twice the frequency of the supply, causing the pointer to vibrate. High-quality a.c. measuring instruments that incorporate a moving coil are, of course, common but incorporate a rectification circuit to supply the coil.
