So that, as a user of electricity, he or she does not have to rely on only one local power generating station.

A National Grid is a network of electricity supply lines carrying power from various generating stations There is usually more than one supply line to most points (or grid nodes), from more than one generating station.

So, by using a National Grid, users can continue to receive power from the other power stations in the network whenever a power station or a distribution sub-station has to be taken out of service for maintenance work or when some power lines are destroyed by bad weather.

What will happen to DC signal if positive probe connected to negative terminal and negative probe connected to positive of DC supply oscilloscope?

If the positive probe of the oscilloscope is connected to the negative terminal and the negative probe is connected to the positive terminal of a DC supply, the oscilloscope will display an inverted signal. This means that the voltage reading will be negative, effectively showing the opposite polarity of the actual DC voltage. The magnitude of the reading will remain the same, but the trace on the oscilloscope will appear flipped around the zero voltage line.


Would the amount of light increase decrease or remain the same when lamp is placed across a 120 V dc power line?

When a lamp is connected to a power supply the total amount of light increases.


Operation of zener diode?

A: A zener is a diode that when connected in the reverse mode current direction it will breakdown to a predetermined voltage any further increasing voltage the breakdown will remain practically the same.


What type of circuit was used to make the string of light?

A string of lights typically uses a series or parallel circuit configuration. In a series circuit, the lights are connected end-to-end, so if one bulb goes out, the entire string may stop working. In a parallel circuit, each bulb is connected separately to the power source, allowing the others to remain lit even if one bulb fails. Most modern string lights utilize parallel circuits for better reliability.


Why is it harder to measure amperage than voltage whit a digital multimeter?

Because to measure amperage you must connect the multimeter in series , in order to do so the circuit must be broken first. In the case with voltage measurements the multimeter probes must be connected in parallel which is far easier because connecting the multimeter this way the circuit will remain intact.

In the circuit if the fuse of lamp S went out which lamps would remain lit?

If the fuse of lamp S went out, the lamps that remain lit would depend on how the circuit is configured. In a series circuit, all lamps would go out since the circuit is broken. In a parallel circuit, only the lamp connected to the same fuse as lamp S would go out, while the other lamps connected to different fuses would remain lit.
