Best Answer

polarity is of major importance in dicect current circuits.

When using meters please remember that a volt meter does not connect into a circuit, the leads are placed across the component that you are measuring. It is an amp meter that connects into the circuit, becoming part of the circuit, to measure the current flowing through that circuit.

Why supply circuit breaker should be 4poles?

Because it has neutral with 3 phases. A supply circuit breaker is used on the lv side of the transformer to protect the equipment connecting to it.


What precautions should be taken when connecting an electrolytic capacitor in circuit?

Most electrolytic caps are polarized, so they will only go in a DC circuit one way - if you reverse them, they will explode (wear goggles!).


What effect if any does connecting an ammeter in series with a resistor in a circuit have on the current though the resistor?

That depends on the quality (price) of the meter. Ideally it should have no effect.


Will the voltmeter work when ammeter is connected wrongly in a circuit?

The volt meter should work. The meter is connected across the supply where as the amp meter is connected in series with any load that it is metering. On larger installations to measure the amperage, a current transformer is connected around the conductor to be monitored. If a CT is used then the polarity has to be observed when connecting to an amp meter.

Should ethics be observed in research?

They should be observed because if they are not observed then people will not like you very much, and certain organizations will go after you.


Why should you not connect a 6 V battery into a circuit that requires a D cell?

A D cell battery supplies nominally 1.5V. Connecting a 6V supply in it's place would supply an extra 4.5V and could potentially damage the circuit components.

What is the design procedure for clamping circuits?

Clamping circuits use diodes and capacitors. First, the first circuit must be set up, then a?&aelig;sine wave should be input into it. The input and output should be observed and adjusted as necessary; then, the process should be repeated for the other circuits.


Why should the connecting wires in a bulb be of low resistance?

This is to avoid energy losses in the connecting wires.
