What is downstream in electrical?
The terminology down stream refers to an electrical circuit and where devices are connected into the circuit. In reference to the breaker that feeds the circuit everything is down stream from it. If a GFCI receptacle is added into the circuit as the first device, the GFCI can be wired to allow all of the regular receptacles to be protected down stream from that GFCI. Every device added to the circuit will be down stream from the one that is ahead of it. The only device that will not have something down stream from it will be the last device in the circuit.
When additional stops are added to a control circuit should they be connected in series or parallel?
series
If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?
In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.
What happens to the current flow in a circuit when a second component is added in series?
The total current decreases.According to the Ohm's law the current & the resistance are inversely proportional so when we put a load in series with the existing load, the resistance of the circuit increases therefor the current decreases.
How are ammeters added to circuits?
Ammeters are added in series to the circuit to be monitored.
In a series circuit each device that is added to the circuit decreases the what?
Depends on the device. If it is a resistor and you have a fixed voltage then the circuit will obey Ohms law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So if R increases by adding more resistors in series and the voltage is constant, the current will decrease.
In a series circuit each device that is added to the circuit decreases the?
Ohm's Law answers your question. Voltage = Current x Resistance. In a series circuit you are in effect adding resistance. If the Voltage remains constant then the answer is obvious looking at the equation above.
In series circuit each device that's added to the circuit decreases the?
Ohm's Law answers your question. Voltage = Current x Resistance. In a series circuit you are in effect adding resistance. If the Voltage remains constant then the answer is obvious looking at the equation above.
What would happen if another bulb was added to another series circuit?
In a series circuit, if another bulb is added, it is going to dim.
Why does the total circuit resistance decreases when more devices are added to a parallel circuit?
Does it? See Related Links
When you add resistors that are in a series to a ciruit?
You raise the total resistance by that amount if added in series to a circuit. If you add them in parallel to a circuit then that total resistance will be less than the total of the added circuit.
If a new bulb is added and the electrical circuit becomes dimmer is it a parallel circuit?
No it's series circuit.
How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a series circuit?
In a parallel circuit, each bulb receives the full voltage of the power source, so all bulbs shine at their full brightness. In a series circuit, the brightness of each bulb decreases as more bulbs are added because the voltage is shared among all bulbs.
How is resistance added in a series circuit?
Resistance in a series circuit is added by simply connecting resistors end-to-end. This results in the total resistance being the sum of the individual resistances. The current passing through each resistor in a series circuit remains the same.
