When ac convert in dc then voltage will increase or decrease?

You can make it so it does either increase or decrease. The limiting factor is that power out cannot exceed power in. So going to a higher voltage will limit current and going to a lower voltage will increase current available.

A2

Because AC is continuously changing in a sinusoidal waveform, it is hard to determine the exact voltage. It is usually called by it's RMS value (Root Mean Squared).

The result is that when you fully rectify an AC voltage, the DC voltage is actually HIGHER than the RMS AC voltage.

How do you design a shaking torch light without batteries?

You need a strong magnet, a big coil of enameled copper wire, a large capacitor, and an efficient LED. And a few odds and ends. The basic design uses the magnet and coil as a generator, or dynamo. As you shake the assembly, the magnet slides up and down past the coil, generating voltage. You rectify the AC voltage and use it to charge the capacitor. You then discharge the cap through the LED to make light.

When do you use Power Factor?

You use power factor when the load is not resistive, i.e. when it is reactive, and the phase angle between voltage and current is not zero.

Does voltage flow through a circuit or is it established across a circuit?

The 'charges' (electrons, in the case of a metal conductor) are ALREADY distributed within the conductor. They are in a state of constant, haphazard, movement at just short of the speed of light. When a potential difference is applied across the conductor, there is a tendency for these electrons to move from the negative potential towards the positive potential. This tendency is VERY slow; for example, an individual electron is unlikely to pass through the filament of a flashlight during the lifetime of its battery!

Why the spacing between the conductors of same phase is greater as compared to spacing between different phase conductors in double circuit lines?

I think you mean spacing between line conductors, rather than phase conductors. If there is a greater spacing between line conductors in one circuit, compared with anothercircuit, then the two circuits are operating at different voltages.

Define the word power?

In the context of science and engineering, 'power' (symbol: P ) is defined as the 'rate of doing work'. It's measured in joules per second which, in SI, is given the special name, the watt (symbol: W).

What is open post voltage?

The open post voltage in electronics is the maximum voltage available from a solar cell. This will occur at zero current.

What is converter transformer and what its function in HVDC transmission?

It is a transformer that is made for the converters. It is (usually) wired with a Wye AND and Delta output. This allows the transformer to output a total of 12, 30 degrees out-of-phase pulses. This gives rise to many advantages with filtering, efficiency, etc...

What is an UJT timer?

UJT is an abbreviation for (Unijunction Transistor) the electronic component that is at the heart of a simple timing circuit. A UJT timer is a circuit used in an electonic system to deliver a specific time. For instance, a 30 second UJT timer might be used to turn on a Green traffic signal for 30 seconds, then turn off. UJT is a specifically cheap way of doing this type of timed signal. Timers using UJTs have largely be superseded by timers based on a 555 integrated circuit.

What kind of outlet is needed for a sump pump?

Outlet rating should be suitable to the rating of the motor. The type should be preferably IP 55 or higher if mounted outside the sump in dry area.

What is the internal resistance 6.6 kw load?

You need to know the voltage and the power factor in order to answer the question.

What will happen if i connect a power supply of higher current rating to lower current load?

The supply won't have to work as hard. It is perfectly acceptable, for example, to use a 1A, 12v supply to supply a 12v, .5A load. The current rating indicates the ability of the supply to dissipate heat caused by the current flowing. If the load current is above the power supply current rating, the power supply will overheat.

What is the difference between the rupturing capacity and the short circuit breaking capacity?

Rupturing capacity:

Rupturing capacity or breaking capacity expresses the current that a circuit breaker is capable of breaking at a given recovery voltage under certain set conditions of operation. It is expressed in MVA The set conditions are power factor,recovery voltage and rate of rise of restriking voltage. When the current broken is symmetrical it is called symmetrical breaking capacity. When the current broken is asymmetrical it is called asymmetrical breaking capacity. It is common to designate circuit breaker capacity based on asymmetrical breaking capacity. Breaking capacity of a circuit breaker =√3xVxIx10-6MVA Short circuit breaking capacity: It is the highest value of short circuit current which a circuit breaker is capable of breaking under specified conditions of transient recovery voltage and power frequency voltage. It is expressed in kA. The breaking current is expressed in two ways

1)The r.m.s value of a.c component of current at the instant of contact separtation.

2)The percentage of d.c component of current at the instant of contact separtation. While selecting the circuit breaker for a particular location in the power system the fault level at that point is determined.

What is the difference between traction motor and general motor?

A series motor is employed for traction application which has starting torque and permits intermittent operations by braking, which cannot be expected of a general purpose motor.

How to generate sawtooth waveform of 0 to 5V from square wave of 0 to 15V...?

You will need a regulator circuit that will change the shape of the pulse AND regulate the voltage to 5v.

What is the application of generator and motors?

A generator converts mechanical power into electrical power. A motor converts electrical power into mechanical power.

What is the microscopic form of ohms'law?

The current I in a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage E and inversely

proportional to the resistance R.

Answer

Ohm's Law states that the ratio of voltage to current is a constant and it only applies to some materials. It does not mention resistance, and it certainly doesn't say that current is inversely-proportional to resistance!

How do you wire the last fixture in a parallel circuit?

The last fixture in a parallel circuit is wired the same as the first. In North America, all of the fixtures are wired black wire to black wire and white wire to white wire. The black wire being the "hot" wire and the white wire being the neutral wire.

Why sag setting in Transmission line?

The sag setting is necessary because it is physically impossible to have a suspended line with no sag. The sag is specified because there has to be a minimum clearance value for the height above ground at the centre of the sag where the cable is at its minimum height.
