In a parallel ac circuit is the current additive?
Yes
In parallel circuit , current entering into the circuit will be divided intodifferent paths ( resistances) . Amount of current flow depends upon the magnitude of resistance applied in the circuit. Total current after passing through the circuit will be the sum of all current through each resistance.

Laptop=12-16
Lamp=110
T.V=12 about the same as a laptop because it is blugged to the mains
Will semiconductors obeys the ohms law?
Yes and no. At any instant they follow ohm's la. However as they are nonlinear, as signals change they deviate from the standard ohm's law that passive components follow at all times.
Another Answer
For Ohm's Law to apply, the ratio of a conductor's (or device's) voltage to resistance MUST be constant for variations in voltage. In other words, if you plotted current against voltage, for variations in voltage, then the result MUST be a straight line. Ohm's Law does not apply at a particular instant.
Hardly any material or device obeys Ohm's Law, because most produce curved lines. Transistors do not obey Ohm's Law and is described as being 'non-linear' or 'non-ohmic'.
The equation, R = V/I, widely regarded as being 'Ohm's Law' is derived, NOT from Ohm's Law, but from the definition of the ohm.
There seems hardly any credible reason to continue teaching 'Ohm's Law' as a 'law', as it applies to so few materials.
How many watt meters are required in three phase power measurement?
It depends. If the system is a grounded or ungrounded Delta or ungrounded Wye connection (no neutral), then you need two. For an open Delta with a center-tapped ground, or Wye with a neutral, you need 3. Some monitoring systems also add a fourth, to measure ground current, although it is not needed to calculate power. Most measurement devices will accept up to 480V directly, for more than that you also have to add potential transformers in a similar fashion to reduce the mains voltage down to that range or lower for the system to measure the voltages.
Does the voltage output increase when a generator is made to spin faster?
You would have to apply a higher voltage from outside - for example, in the case of DC, connect a battery that provides more voltage, or connect more than one battery in series; or in the case of AC, use a transformer to increase the voltage.

What is used to splice aluminum wire to copper wire?
Yes, but you have to use connectors designed for that purpose. Using ordinary wire nuts could cause a circuit failure due to a high resistive junction.
What size of resistor is required to operate the LED from a 9V battery?
In order to determine what size of resistor is required to operate an LED from a 9V battery, first start by knowing the current and voltage required for the LED. That information is available in the LED's specifications.
For discussion purposes, lets assume a typical LED at 2.5V and 50mW. The translates to a forward current of 20mA.
Build a simple series circuit containing a 9V battery, a resistor of an as yet unknown value, and the LED.
By Kirchoff's current law, the current in the LED is the same as the current in the resistor, which is also the same as the current in the battery. This is 20ma.
By Kirchoff's voltage law, the voltage across the LED plus the voltage across the resistor equals the voltage across the battery. This is 6.5V. (9 - 2.5)
By Ohm's law, resistance is voltage divided by current, so the resistor is 6.5 / 0.02, or 325 Ohms. The nearest standard value to that is 330 Ohms.
Cross check the power through the resistor. Power is voltage times current, or 6.5V times 0.02A, or 0.13W. A half watt resistor is more than adequate for this job.
What is the effect to a three phase system if a single phase load is drawn from it?
A single-phase load can be connected to a three-phase supply either by connecting it between any pair of line conductors or, for a three-phase, four-wire, system, between any line conductor and the neutral conductor -providing, of course, that the resulting voltage matches the requirement of the single-phase load.
This is quite a common arrangement, and the utility company will always try to maintain a reasonably 'balanced' load by connecting a number of single-phase loads between alternate line conductors (e.g. A-B, B-C, C-A, etc., or A-N, B-N, C-N, etc.).
So, to return to the question: 'What is the effect on a three-phase system if a single-phase load is connected to it?', the answer is that the three-phase system can normally deal with it without any problem.
this is because the energy can still flow through the other branches.
Why are rectangular coils used in power transformers?
Transformers are used to step up and down voltages. The amount of this step is directly proportional to the turns ratio from one winding to the other. Using circular coils means a minimum amount of copper can be used, since the number of coils is relatively fixed by the voltage levels involved.
Another reason is corners are not a good idea when dealing with really high voltages - they can result in eddy currents, strange flux paths, corona, and localized heating to name a few problems.

The copper losses, because they vary as the square of the secondary/primary currents.
How do you connect 5 wire ac motor with capacitor to 2 wire AC outlet?
The short answer is you don't. More than likely you are looking at a three phase motor with three hot wires (to each be connected to a separate phase), one neutral and one ground (or earth). You need to connect up all five wires properly for it to run. Alternatively you could be looking at a three speed motor where each hot wire is for a different speed of the motor. In this case you'll need a three speed switch to connect it up.
It could be three phase, many swap and shops are full of three phase motors junked from closed plants and manufacturers and the seller has no idea what the motor is or came from, however, five wires as the question states, indicates the five wires come from the windings and none are chassis ground, leaving only four motor wires, in single phase, three wires could be a common, to one lead for one direction, and to another for the opposite direction and the remaining two wires could be external thermal leads, it could be multiple speed as noted above, in a single phase variety,
The problem with electric motors where the nameplate or connection plate is missing is problematic, as there are thousands of variations of motors, built for specific applications, if the question is what NEMA design 5 lead motor connections are, that could drill down the possible answers,
But back to single phase for a moment:
Single Phase Terminal Markings Identified By Color: (NEMA Standards)
1-Blue 5-Black P1-No color assigned
2-White 6-No color assigned P2-Brown
3-Orange 7-No color assigned
4-Yellow 8-Red
Most three phase NEMA motors are three, six, nine or twelve leads, rarely are the ends of each phase brought out, plus the neutral [internal wye connection only] and then a chassis ground, making a total of five.
Internally delta connected motors would not have a single neutral point, so those three phase motors that are connected delta internally are often just three, or if the need existed for a wye-delta external connection, then both ends of each phase would be brought out, the motor then would be connected externally with three wires in a bundle [electrically connected and isolated] using the last three to the incoming power, or if externally connected delta the delta points would be made up by taking the end of one phase to the beginning of the next, the end of the last to the beginning of the first.
Most chassis ground leads, [a lead connected to the motor frame] are not brought out with the power leads, to avoid confusion] normally the chassis ground is connected to a screw or through bolt, often colored green on the head of the bolt, and away from the terminal block or if in the terminal block positioned in such a manner it does not seem to fall into any possible "pattern" of the power leads.
Five lead motors [if ALL ARE WINDING LEADS] are fairly rare and generally special, for example most single phase would be two, three, four, or six, many are four power with one chassis ground.
It is important to note that any chassis ground wire needs to be absolutely identified as a chassis ground, [again, from a green screw and or colored green sheath]. Should a chassis ground be connected to the power source, it would be a straight short to ground from the power supply.
Identification of all the wires extending from the motor should be identified, by either use of an ohm meter, and in some cases, the only way to know is to remove the end housings and physically identify where the external leads are connected on the windings.
Because a capacitor is involved it is likely two of the five wires are dedicated wires for the capacitor, leaving two for power, and one as a chassis ground.
Normally if that is the case, the two leads for the capacitor are both colored the same and different from any of the other wires, brown being the most popular color for two dedicated capacitor leads.
My guess is this is a single phase motor with two to cap, two to power, and one is a frame or chassis ground, three phase with capacitor is rare and normally if a cap is used for a three phase motor, it is in a separate "box" the cap is used to form a "false" third leg and is used to create rotation, but is of little use past beginning rotation, these setups should be used with caution as the motor HP is usually derated by a significant factor, example 1/2 horse three phase with false third leg, may only be powerful enough to operate less than half the rated horsepower on a legitimate three phase power supply.
Again most likely two are for a capacitor, one is common, the other two are either speed choices with common, or reverse with common.
What are the disadvantages of a double wound transformer?
There is no disadvantage with a current transformer -it does exactly what it's supposed to do, that is:
Can you shut off one appliance at a time on a parallel circuit?
Only if you install separate switches for each part of the circuit. The whole point of a parallel circuit - is that both parts of the circuit are controlled by the same switch.
Can you convert motor winding 50 hz to 60 hz?
60Hz frequency on 50 Hz motor will create more resistance in its coils. Will cause electromagnetic force trying to increase the speed of the rotor by about 20 %. Less current will flow but the torque will be less, because of the increased resistance of the coils. Usually if the motor is not loaded much it will work fine on 60 Hz. One solution if there is problem running the motor is to remove part of the all coils equally from all of the bobbins by 10-20% .
CommentThe resistance of the coils will remain unchanged, however, their inductive reactance will increase -thus reducing the current.

What is a material which allows electrons to flow through it under certain conditions?
This might be a fundamental description of a semiconductor material.
Why are capacitors required to be in capacitor banks?
Capacitor banks are used to control the power factor in a power system. By connecting suitable capacitors the power factor can be controlled / maintained at a desired level. The requirement of a capacitor changes as the load changes dynamically. The same amount of capacitors can not maintain the desired power factor all the time. To be able to connect only the required number of capacitors, multiple (bank of capacitors) capacitors are included in a system. An automatic controller senses the actual power factor and connects and disconnects the capacitors from the bank as required
What is the important of brush in DC machine?
The slip rings are the most important brush in DC machine.
You have to be careful around electricity. I suppose using 110v as in the US is safer than the 240v we use in UK and Europe, I am not sure what the record is on this. General rules are always make sure your earth connection is good, always check cords for damage frequently, and for loose connections at plug or appliance. If using an appliance in the garden I always use an extra RCD device which will cut the power if any earth leakage is detected. Don't use electric appliances outside if is raining or in wet grass.
Don't do repairs to wiring, sockets, etc, unless you are sure of the right procedure, and always isolate the supply before opening anything up. And tell anyone else in the house what you are doing so they are not taken by surprise when you switch back on.
Can a zener diode be used as rectifier diode?
Yes it can be done.
Usually, this type of diode is called zener shunt voltage regulator or shunt references; it can be a 2 or 3-terminal device.
Two terminal devices rely only on the zener b2b tunneling quantum breakdown effect for generating a fixed voltage drop.
Three terminal devices work in closed loop: you put a voltage divider at the output and feed the divided voltage to the additional "control terminal", so that a closed loop is used to compensate temperature and load variations. You can check LM4041 datasheet as an example.
