Why current lag and potemtial lead in an inductor.?
because of flux produced in coil of inducterAnswerThe potential difference (not 'potential') induced into a pure inductive component is proportional to the rate of change of current. The greatest rate of change of current occurs when the current waveform passes through zero (i.e. is at its steepest angle). So the voltage is maximum when the current is passing through zero -which means that the current is lagging the voltage by 90 degrees.
What is the Ratio of potential differences across a device to the current that passes through it?
the ratio would be 2:1.
When a compass is placed near a conductor where current flows its needle would deflect what does this indicate?
This proves that a magnetic field is developed around the conductor wen current flows through it...
What enables the electric current to move through a material?
The electric current moves in the direction opposite to the flow of electrons by convention.When a potential difference is applied to a material which has "loose" electrons, the electrons move in a direction opposite to the potential gradient and the current moves in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons.This is how current flows in materials.
Why multiplication factor of wattmeter is required?
THIS MULTIPLIER WHETHER USED FOR MEASURING POWER (WATT METER/KILOWATT METER) OR ENERGY (KILOWATT-HOUR METER) ARE USUALLY USED FOR HIGH AMPERE LOAD UNLIKE IN RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION THAT METERING ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO SUPPLY LINE. THIS MULTIPLIER IS OBTAINED FROM THE RATIO OF CURRENT TRANSFORMER USED, FOR EXAMPLE 300:5 THIS MEANS YOU HAVE TO MULTIPLY YOUR GATHERED READINGS TO 60 TO HAVE THE ACTUAL CONSUMPTION. THE CURRENT TRANSFORMER (INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMER) IS NORMALLY SHAPED LIKE "DOUGHNUT" WHERE CABLE PASS THROUGH OR RECTANGULAR SHAPED FOR BUSBARS TO MEASURE ACTUAL LINE CURRENT AND COMBINED WITH POTENTIAL (VOLTAGE) TRANSFORMER FOR REMOTE METERING AND SYSTEM PROTECTION PURPOSES IN COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OR WHERE LOAD ARE HIGHER AND FOR SAFETY PURPOSES TO PERSONNEL/TECHNICIANS.
Why does an AC wattmeter require polarity marking?
To ensure that the relative directions of the current passing through the current and voltage coils result in the meter reading 'upscale'.
Can a watt meter that has current through its current coil and a potential across its voltage coil indicate zero?
A watt meter that has current through its current coil and voltage across its voltage coil will indicate zero if the power factor between the volts and amps is zero. This condition would be one in which the current will either lead or lag the voltage by 90 degrees and the circuit will have amps, volts, VARS, and VA, but will not have Watts.
What is the difference between current coil and voltage coil?
These terms apply to the coils inside a wattmeter. 'Pressure coil' is an archaic term for 'voltage coil', which is connected in parallel with the supply, while the 'current coil' is connected in series with the load.
Why does the current flow through wire?
Current flows through a wire when there is a difference in electric potential between two points. This potential difference creates an electric field that drives the flow of electric charge (current) through the wire.
Why are power lines buzzing and what potential risks or issues can this buzzing indicate?
Power lines can buzz due to electrical current flowing through them, which can indicate potential issues such as overloading, loose connections, or equipment malfunctions. This buzzing can pose risks of electrical fires, power outages, and even electric shocks if not addressed promptly.
How does the potential difference in the resistor change as the current through it changes?
The potential difference accross the resistor changes mainly due to gradual increase accumulation of electrons in the lower potential region which will in turn affect the potential gradient as the current flows through the resistor
What is the relationship between voltage potential and electrical current flow in a circuit?
Voltage potential is the force that pushes electrical current through a circuit. The higher the voltage, the greater the potential for current flow. In other words, voltage drives the flow of current in a circuit.
When the current traveling through a resistor is increased what happens to the voltage that travels through the same resistor?
Your question reveals fundamental misunderstandings about the nature of electricity.'Voltage' is simply another word for 'potential difference', and a potential difference appears across opposite ends of the resistor; it doesn't 'travel through' that resistor! Current, on the other hand, DOES 'travel through' the resistor and is caused by the potential difference across the resistor.Resistance is the ratio of potential difference to current. So if the resistance remians unchanged when the current through it doubles, then it has happened because the potential difference has doubled.
What is required for current to flow through an electrical current?
Potential Source connected across a Closed Circuit Path.
Would it be true to say that current causes voltage?
Volts = Current x Resistance. The voltage is where the potential resides for the amount of current flowing through a resistance. Think about the voltage as a potential source of electrons that then flow through a circuit depending on the Load, or resistance in this example.
If there are 2 points with different potential energy will there still be an electrical current through the circuit?
Not necessarily. The two points with potential difference, will have to be connected via a conductor, for current to flow.Provided that a circuit exists, then current WILL flow.
What is necessary in order to push current through a conductor?
A difference of potential (which is measured in Volts) is needed to make current flow.
