How do you figure out an appliance's power consumption if you have the voltage and Frequency and Current?

You just need the voltage and the current. Watts = Amps x Volts.


What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?

Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.


What is lagging and leading current?

Leading and lagging currents are not so much "currents" as they are "situations" or "conditions" in an electrical circuit. Reactive characteristics, if there are any, will not let voltage and current be in phase in a circuit. (Unless they are equal, and this will be true at only one frequency.) In some circuits, current leads voltage (or voltage lags current), and in other circuits, current lags voltage (voltage leads current), depending on the circuit and also on the frequency of the applied signal. In a capacitor, current leads voltage, and in an inductor, current lags voltage. This carries over to circuits that exhibit primarily capacitive or inductive characteristics. Additionally, reactance varies with frequency. As a given circuit with inductance and capacitance is evaluated, at some frequencies, it will appear capacitive, and current will lead voltage. At other frequencies, the circuit will appear inductive, and current will lag voltage. Only at a frequency where the reactances are equal will the current and voltage be in phase. The ideas here are best reviewed after achieving an understanding of the nature of inductance and capacitance, the associated reactances, and the way frequency affects these characteristics.


How much time is the maximum positive current behind the maximum positive voltage when the current lags the voltage by 90 degrees?

It depends on the periodic time of the supply which, in turn, is determined by the supply frequency. So, work out the periodic time of a 50 or 60-Hz waveform, and go from there.


What is a breakdown current of a 50kva transformer?

I depends on the voltage.

How does the maximum value of the current depend on the frequency of the AC voltage source?

The maximum value of the current in an AC circuit depends on the frequency of the voltage source. As the frequency increases, the maximum current value also increases.


Why frequence do not change in transformer?

Voltage at secondary coil depends on differentiation of current at primary coil. In case of sinusoidal current, differentiation leads to sinusoid with same frequency, thus frequency does not change.


How can the frequency and voltage of an alternator be changed?

The frequency is changed by varying its speed, and the the voltage is changed by varying its field current.


Why backing volt depends on the light frequency but not on the intensity?

Backing voltage in a photovoltaic cell depends on the light frequency because different frequencies of light correspond to different energy levels of photons, which can determine the voltage generated. However, intensity only affects the current generated by the cell, not the voltage. So, the higher the frequency of the light, the higher the backing voltage, regardless of the intensity.

Is voltage related to frequency?

Voltage and frequency are related in AC (alternating current) systems. In AC circuits, voltage is directly proportional to frequency according to the formula V = 2πfL where V is voltage, f is frequency, and L is inductance. This relationship is important in analyzing and designing electrical systems.

What is the frequency of the alternating voltage and current typically used in the US?

60 Hertz


What is the relationship between voltage and current in an inductive circuit?

Current lags voltage in an inductive circuit. The angle by which it lags depends on the frequency of the AC, and on the relative size of the inductance compared to the resistance in the circuit.


State three things which can affect the voltage in a circuit?

Ohms Law says that Voltage = Current * Ohms, so the twothings that can affect the voltage in a circuit are Current and Ohms. If have a non resistive impedance, i.e. a capacitor or inductor forming a reactance, then frequency can also affect the voltage but, mathematicaly, reactance is a frequency domain form of impedance, so my answer stands - Current and Ohms.


Why current is directly proportional to voltage?

Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage times resistance, hence current is directly proportional to voltage.
