What are the rules in series circuit?

Kirchoff's Current Law: The current at every point in a series circuit is the same. This can also be expressed as the sum of the currents entering a node is zero. Kirchoff's Voltage Law: The sum of the voltage drops across all elements in a series circuit add up to zero.

How do you connect diodes in series?

Connect positive to negative, leaving the end positive and negative connections free to power circuits or devices. Connecting batteries in series adds the voltage of the batteries. For instance, connecting three 12v car batteries in series will create a total of 36v, enough for welding.

What is induction and inductive reactance?

resistance is real, the other purely imaginary.

Answer

Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current (AC or DC) which is proportional to a conductor's cross-sectional area and resistivity, and inversely proportional to its length. Reactance is the opposition to AC current due to either the circuit's inductance or its capacitance, and are termed inductive reactance and capacitive reactance. Resistance and reactance are both measured in ohms.

Inductive reactance is proportional to the circuit's inductance and the frequency of the supply; capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the circuit's capacitance and the frequency of its supply. In other words, inductive reactance increases with frequency, whereas capacitive reactance decreases with frequency.

All AC circuits contain resistance, and most contain some degree of inductance and/or capacitance. So the opposition offered by a circuit to AC current includes resistance together with some combination of inductive and/or capacitive reactance.

It's incorrect to suggest that reactance is 'imaginary'in the every day sense of the word -it exists, so it must be 'real'. In this context, 'imaginary' is a mathematical term that indicates that if resistance and reactance were represented in a vector diagram (called an 'impedence diagram'), then reactance quantity would lie at right-angles to the resistance quantity. For this reason, the overall opposition to current flow, which is called impedance, is not the algebraic sum of resistance and reactance, but the vector sum of the two. So, for example, if a circuit had a resistance of, say, 4 ohms, and its inductive reactance was 3 ohms, then its impedance would be 5 ohms -not 7 ohms.

Although we can represent resistance and reactance using a vector diagram (impedance diagram), strictly-speaking the quantities themselves are not vector quantities. The impedance diagram is created as a result of a phasor (vector) diagram representing the current and voltage relationships in the AC circuit.

What is phase neutral reversal?

Most mixers have a so called "phase reverse button" but it's not a "phase" button, it's the "polarity reverse" button in each channel. It's real simple, to reverse the polarity on a mic, you simply reverse the pin wires 2 an 3.

Phase means time shifting. Polarity reversion means changing cable a and b.

That are really different things.

Scroll down to related links and look at "Polarity reversal is not phase shifting".




This answer has nothing to do with phase: To reverse the rotation on a three phase motor you simply swap any two of the three motor leads

What does 60hz alternating current do?

Direct current (DC) electrical power from a battery has no phase reversal of the electron flow in the electrical circuit. Electrons always flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the battery in the wires of the circuit.

In alternating current (AC), there is a periodic reversal of the flow of electrons (e.g. current) through the wires of the circuit. 60 Hertz refers to the frequency of that reversal of flow. 60 Hz is equal to 60 cycles per second. So AC current from your wall socket in the United States is reversing directions 60 times each second. The cycling is caused by design of the generators used in the power plants that produce the electricity. The current (polarity) reverses direction 120 times each second. Twice in each cycle on a 60 Hz system. Once to the positive and then once to the negative in one cycle.

Why a dc series motor should never run at no load condition?

if you run the unloaded motor at max rpm the centrifugal forces will cause the motor to be totally destroyed

so it is advisable to not to run it at max rpm

it should be okay to run it till 50% of max rpm without loading it

Rate of flow of electric charge is measured in?

Electric current is the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit, measured in Coulombs/second which is named Amperes. In most DC electric circuits, it can be assumed that the resistance to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to voltage and resistance by Ohm's law. The standard abbreviations for the units are 1 A = 1C/s.

What instrument measures electrical earth resistance?

A multimeter device can measure resistance, current, AC/DC voltage, and it also can determine continuity on an electrical circuit, and its range for current, voltage and resistance is widely variable.

Can you list three ways you can change the current in a circuit?

Increase, decrease, or remove the load

<<>>

Change the voltage and the current will also change in direct proportion, Ohms law.

What is the function of a filter capacitor?

This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask the answer of. Earn your diploma.

Why do the resistance is zero in case of short circuit?

The current is 0. Current is the unit of flow of electrons in a circuit, and in an open circuit, electrons cannot flow. Therefore there is 0 current.

Another way to look at it is that I = V / R, where I = Amps (current), V = voltage, and R = resistance (impedance). In an open circuit, the impedance is infinite, and by using our math skills, we know that X (or V in our case) divided by infinity, is 0.

I = V / Infinity = 0

Why you use alternating current for long distances why not direct current?

we can step up different ranch by Alternating current. it is less voltage drop then d.c and a.c current is chi pest then dc current .

Answer

A.C. is more-widely used than d.c. because the voltage level of a.c. is easily increased to high voltages using transformers. High-voltage is essential for electricity transmission, as it results if a lower load current for a given load -thus reducing voltage drops, and enabling the use of conductors of lower cross-sectional area. However, d.c. is also widely-used for long-distance h.v. transmission, as it has several advantages over a.c. -e.g. less losses, and no synchronisation problems with other systems (making it ideal for international links). So, in some respects, d.c. is better than a.c. over long distances.

Will 60 hz fridge work on 50 hz?

What does the TV's nameplate say? If it says 120v/60Hz it is designed for use on the US/Canada power system, and will only work in countries elsewhere in the world which use that same system. If it says 240v/50Hz it is designed for use on the European power system and will only work in countries elsewhere in the world which use that same system. If it says 120/240v 50/60Hz it can be used on either. Keep in mind as well that if the TV is meant for 50Hz instead of 60Hz, it may be a PAL (European standard) video type instead of NTSC (American standard), so that may be a problem also. <><><> For more information on the different voltages, frequencies and plugs used around the world see the answer to the Related Question shown below and its Related Links .

Why you use overhead cables not underground cables?

It's cheaper to put wires in the air than underground, generally. The figure I've heard is it is ~10x more expensive to bury (and get an equivalent - buried conductor must be larger for the same ampacity since cooling is negatively impacted) vs. put wires in the air; this will vary depending on voltage level and loading, obviously.

How many lumens are in a 168 light bulb?

This varies widely between manufacturers, whether it's a "clear" bulb or a "frosted" bulb, and what type bulb as in incandescent, florescent , quartz, etc etc

How do you wire a three phase forward - reverse starter?

You start with a normal one way circuit consisting of a three phase contactor and an three phase overload in series for the forward circuit. Then you add the reverse contactor in parallel with the forward contactor but with line one and line two crossed over i.e. when the reverse contactor is made, line one of the supply will be connected to line two of the motor and line two of the supply to line one of the motor. The control circuit must also be interlocked to prevent forward and reverse being energized at the same time.

Why is the potential difference between two points in a good conductor so small that it can be neglected?

Potential difference V = I R. Here I is the current passing through the conductor. R is the resistance of the conductor. In case of good conductor the resistance will be almost zero and so the product too becomes almost zero. Hence the potential difference is neglected.

What size fuse do you use on 800kva transformer?

For an 800 kVA transformer, the size of the fuse depends on the primary and secondary voltage levels. A common rule of thumb is to use a fuse rating of about 125% of the transformer's full-load current. For an 800 kVA transformer at a standard voltage of 480V, this typically results in a fuse size of around 1,200 to 1,500 Amps, but it's essential to consult the manufacturer's specifications and consider local regulations for precise sizing. Always ensure that the fuse is selected based on both the transformer and application requirements.

What is bigger 3.6v or 7.2v?

When looking at voltage numbers the higher the number the higher the voltage. In regards to which voltage is higher the 3.6v (volts) or the7.2v (volts), 7.2 is higher.

What is the need of extra high voltage transmission?

You want to deliver power as efficiently as possible. For the same input power, the higher the voltage, the lower the current required. The lower the current, the lower the ohmic power loss (R * I^2) during power transmission in the electric cable.

Answer
  • allows the use of conductors of practicable size
  • economics (less volume of copper)
  • reduce voltage drop along line
  • reduce energy losses along line
