Example of a DC current device?
a typical example of a d.c current device is a generator it supplies current directly to houses
Increasing the current flowing through this device makes it stronger?
no it does not make stronger.... if the device does not have that capability to with stand tat current...... the device will be destroyed........
Is a capacitor a device specifically designed to measure currents?
No, a capacitor is a device that resists the change in electrical potential. It will take and hold a charge based on the value of the capacitor. It's most commonly used to "smooth" direct current or to pass a signal through a wire while passing very little current. There are some interesting circuits produced using capacitors, especially since the capacitors have so many unique properties.
Where are parallel circuits used?
Parallel circuits are used when there are many electronics on the same circuit, such as Christmas lights, for example. If they were on a series circuit, if one bulb went out all of them would go out. In your home, parallel circuits allow you to turn any electrical device on or off, independently of the others.
What is the device that resists the flow of electrical current?
resistor
The device used to deenergize circuits automatically when a very small ground-fault flows is the?
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
The device used to de-energize circuits automatically when a very small ground-fault current flow is the?
Ground fault interupter.
What is current tracer?
A current tracer is apen like device used to test the dead circuits. It is used to troubleshhot the logical circuits
What is a device that moves an alternating current from one circuit to one or more other circuits called?
Transferrer
How you can diffrentiate between parallel connection and series connection?
Consider the electric current to be like the flow of water. In a series circuit, the downstream wire of the first device is connected to the upstream wire of the second device. So the current has to flow through device one, then device two. In this case, total resistance is increased because it is harder for the current to flow through two devices. In a parallel circuit, the upstream wires of the two devices are connected to each other, and the downstream wires of the two devices are connected. So, part of the current will flow through device one, and the rest of the current will flow through device two. In this case, total resistance is decreased because the current can flow more easily through the resistors (this takes a little math to really prove, but the conclusion still holds). Some circuits can have some devices wired in series, and others in parallel, but these circuits should not be confused with simple series and parallel circuits.
What do you use fuses in?
Electrical circuits, to limit the maximum current flow. Fuses will "blow", or burn out, and cause an open circuit, to stop the flow of current when it could potentially damage a circuit, system, or device.
What type of electrical current is used to transmit electricity to our homes and workplaces?
Both series and parallel circuits are used in the home. If the circuit is a dedicated circuit which means that there is only one device in the circuit, then it is a series circuit. All the rest will be classed as parallel circuits.
How are branch circuits rated?
By the rating of the overcurrent device.
What is an over-current protective device?
That is called a fuse. A fuse is a protective device, which will interrupt the flow of electricity if it is subjected to a current that is greater than its rating. Some fuses are designed to handle a large inrush of current and are used in circuits such as air conditioners, where a large amount of current is needed at startup, for a short duration and then current drops to a lower level. These are sometimes called time-lag fuses.
Who is the inverter of Bellatrix Black?
An inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC); the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits.
What is FET?
FET is abbreviation of Field Effect Transistor. This is a transistor in which current is controlled by voltage only and no current is drawn. It is a high input impedence device and is used in computers, telecommunication and control circuits. This transistor is better in certain parameters as compared to BJT, that is Bipolar Junction Transistor.
A device that protects a circuit from current overload is called?
Fuses or circuit breakers are termed 'overcurrent protection devices', which protect circuits from either an overload current or a short-circuit current.
