With a "Fluke" it still reads the correct voltage but with a "minus" sign before the figures. HOWEVER do not do this with an oldfashioned moving coil meter, it will blow up literally!

If you make a mistake in polarity when meauring the value of dc voltage in a circuit with a digital vom what will happen?

absolutely nothing happens...just reverse the probes of multimeter & measure it again...this time around it should come positive...


Reversed polarity on your car now your car wont start with new battery?

There are quite a number of diodes and transistors in the critical circuits of your vehicle. Any one of them can be destroyed by applying high current reverse polarity. You'll need to go through every individual circuit and check for damage. Start with fusable links and other fuses, then find out what it takes to engage the starter. Once you've got that far, start checking the ignition circuits, make sure you have good spark to the plugs, and finally, check the injection system. Most automotive computers have built in protection against reverse polarity, however... Good luck. It's a simple mistake but it can be quite expensive.


What mistake did Andrew make in calculating density?

Andrew made a mistake in calculating density by not properly measuring the volume of the object. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume, and if the volume is incorrect, it will lead to an inaccurate density value.


What are the effects of reverse polarization in electronics?

When a magnet's polarity is reversed, the changing magnetic lines of force cutting across wiring induces a voltage in them. This principle is used primarily in motors. Or perhaps this refers to applying DC power to a device in reverse polarity by mistake. If the device is well designed, it will have a safety diode in the power input area to prevent damage, but if the diode is not present, reversing the power polarity will probably destroy every semiconductor junction in it.


What are the specific safety practices and procedures that you need to observe when measuring and setting out lift installations?

When you measure something then you have to measure carefully because if you make mistake then you have to redo it .

Is there a second book from the series The A Circuit by Georgina Bloomberg?

Not yet, but My Favorite Mistake, An A Circuit Novel, by Georgina Bloomberg and Katherine Hapka is scheduled for release in March 2012. It looks like publisher intends to create a series, so other A Circuit Novels may soon follow.You can pre-order the book on Amazon.com (see Related Links).


What is the future tense of mistake?

The future tense of "mistake" is "will mistake."


How can you tell whether current is going into or out of a node in a circuit?

When you add up all the currents going into and out of a single node, you have to wind up with zero, or else you made a mistake adding them up.


How many measuring cups are there in 6oz?

In order to answer the question, one must understand the difference between weight ounces and fluid ounces. If you are asking how many measuring cups are in 6 fluid ounces, the answer is 3/4 cup. However, if your recipe says something like "add 6 oz. of flour", this is a weight measurement. One must weight the ingredient rather than using measuring cups. Your recipe will not work if you make this mistake.
