A series circuit is where there is only one path for the current. As a result, and as a direct consequence of Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same. The two bulbs have the same current flowing through them.

When a series circuit comprising of a resistor and a capacitor is connected to an AC supply the current will?

In a series circuit with a resistor and a capacitor connected to an AC supply, the current will lead the voltage due to the presence of the capacitor. This is because the capacitor will initially act as a short circuit for high-frequency AC signals, allowing current to flow through it before charging up. As the capacitor charges, the current will decrease, and the phase relationship between the current and voltage will change accordingly.


What is the current running through a 90 volt circuit?

It depends on the resistance of everything connected between the terminals of the power supply. If the resistance is infinite or very high, there is little or no current. As the resistance becomes less, the current becomes greater. In general, the current through a circuit with 90 volts applied to it is [ 90 / R ], where 'R' is the resistance of everything across the 90-volt power supply.


What is different Circuit Breker And Isolater?

I think that the questioner is asking what is the difference between an isolator and a circuit breaker.A circuit breaker is a switching device designed to interrupt a fault current.An isolator is not intended to break a live circuit but, rather, to provide a visible separation between a circuit component and live conductors.For example, isolators (or 'disconnectors' in US parlance) are located on either side of a high-voltage circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker requires maintenance, then the procedure is to:a. trip the circuit breaker.b. open the isolators on each side of the circuit breaker, so there is a visible gap between the circuit breaker and the 'hot' conductors.c. apply temporary earths (grounds) between each isolator and the circuit breaker.d. complete a 'permit to work' card.e. begin work.

What happens to a fuse when the flow of charges stop?

Current i.e.rate of flow of charge when stops flowing in a circuit then fuse does not blows out. The only work of fuse is to blow away when the current starts flowing greater in magnitude than the rated current value.


Will the current in a light bulb connected to a 200-v source be greater or less than when the same bulb is connected to a 110-v circuit?

The current in the light bulb will be greater when connected to the 200-v source compared to the 110-v circuit, assuming the resistance of the light bulb remains constant. This is because current is directly proportional to voltage in an electrical circuit according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), so a higher voltage will result in a greater current flow through the bulb.


What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?

They both have the same current.


How much current flows through circuit breaker trip coil?

The trip coil has the whole circuit load amperage flowing through it. Thepurpose of the breaker is to only allow current up to its trip point. That is the only way that the breaker can sense if the current is within the limit rating. If the circuit load amperage becomes greater that the breaker rating it will trip. The trip coil that you refer to is a magnetic trip which senses the magnetic field that surrounds the wire. Breakers also have a thermal trip which senses a heat build up on the current flowing through it. If the breaker is in a high ambient temperature it will lower the rating on the breaker.

What is the relationship between voltage potential and electrical current flow in a circuit?

Voltage potential is the force that pushes electrical current through a circuit. The higher the voltage, the greater the potential for current flow. In other words, voltage drives the flow of current in a circuit.
