What else can I help you with?
Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 amps?
To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.
Who is father of AC?
The father of alternating current (AC) is Nikola Tesla. He developed the AC electrical system and made significant contributions to the design of AC motors and transformers. His work laid the foundation for modern electrical power distribution systems, which use AC to transmit electricity efficiently over long distances. Tesla's innovations have had a lasting impact on the way electricity is generated and used today.
How do you power a 1500 watt AC appliance in a car?
You can buy an "inverter." It plugs into the cigarette lighter or accessory plug or directly clips to the battery terminals and converts the 12 volt DC to AC. You can then plug your appliance into it. Be sure to get an inverter that is the right wattage capacity for your device.
Why do electrical appliance work on ac current an not in dc?
Mainly because your home is supplied with a.c. not d.c. Even those appliances (audio systems, etc.) that require d.c. supplies can be connected to an a.c. supply, because they have internal transformers/rectifiers which change the a.c. voltage to the required d.c. voltage.
How does an AC adaptor function?
To convert AC to DC, first the AC goes into a rectifier circuit, which can be as simple as a diode (which allows current to flow in one direction), or a network of diodes. The out put of this will be an oscillating from 0 to some positive voltage. Then a capacitor/resistor network which smooths out the ripple current. But before all of this happens, usually the AC goes into a step-down transformer, which will get the voltage input to the rectifier circuit in the range of the desired output DC voltage.
When computing wattage when to include power factor and square root of three?
In its simplest form the equation to calculate the wattage of an electrical appliance is: Watts = voltage x current. If the appliance is in a AC supply use the Route mean square voltage (the stated AC voltage).
You observe a small plaque on an electrical appliance that reads in part 115 volts AC 60 Hz This means that the appliance?
That the appliance does not need a electrical transformer and uses the US standards for electricity off the grid.
What does the power rating of an electrical appliance mean?
The power rating of an electrical appliance represents the rate at which the appliance uses electrical energy. It is typically measured in watts and indicates how much electricity the appliance consumes when it is in use. Higher power ratings suggest that the appliance uses more energy.
Is an iPad an electrical appliance?
yes
What does the average Canadian house use in electrical hertz?
The average Canadian house uses 110-120V AC 50-60Hz electricity for small appliance outlets such as Televisions, small kitchen appliances and personal computers. Larger electrical appliances such as clothes dryers, and central Air Conditioning units may use 240V AC 50-60Hz circuits.
What determines whether a 100-w light bulb cost more to use than a 1200-w hair dryer costs to use?
The electric power used by an appliance is the rate at which the appliance converts electrical energy to other forms of energy. The electrical energy used by an appliance depends on the power of the appliance and the length of the time it is used.
What is the 10-3 amp rating for this electrical appliance?
The electrical appliance has a 10-3 amp rating.
What is the 10/3 amp rating for this electrical appliance?
The electrical appliance has a 10/3 amp rating.
When you pull out the plug connected to an electrical appliance you often observe a spark to which property of the appliance is this related?
I think it is due to the resistance to the electrical appliance, the resistance offered by the electrical appliance works as a load in the circuit and when load is removed it causes sparking.
How is it possible to use more than one electrical appliance at a time?
It is possible to use more than one electrical appliance at a time by connecting them to separate outlets or power sources. Each appliance will draw power from the source it is connected to, allowing multiple appliances to operate simultaneously without overloading a single circuit.
What does an electric appliance use up in its operation?
An electric appliance uses up electrical energy during its operation to power its components and perform its intended functions. This energy is typically supplied through a power source such as an electrical outlet or battery.
What does a portable appliance tester do?
A portable appliance tester is responsible for testing electrical appliance for safety. In the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand electrical appliances need to be routinely checked. This process is called portable appliance testing or short PAT, PAT Inspection or PAT Testing. Labels like 'passed' and 'passed for electrical safety' are attached to the appliance if the check was successful.
