How do you construct a simple electric circuit?

STEPS IN CONSTRUCTING A SIMPLE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT:

1.Prepare the materials.

2.Remove the bulb from the receptacle.

3.Unscrew the screw in the receptacle using a screw driver.

4.Extend the cord of a wire using pliers.

How the diameter of conductor can be calculated for a perticular voltage?

It's not the voltage that determine the size of the conductor,it's the current.

The rule of thumb is: 6A for every 1mm sq

Is it true that In Ohms law the variable i represents the rate of flow of charge which is called impedance?

"I" represents the current which is the flow of electric charge. Impedance is the measure of the opposition to the flow of current at a given voltage usually in a.c. circuits.

What are the uses of electric fan?

To keep you nice and cool, or used in electrical appliances to cool them.

Circulate air in a room.

What colour are the phase neutral and earth cores flexible cords?

Flexible cord colours are, White for neutral and Green for ground.

Answer

It depends on the standards used in your country. The above answer refers to North America. In Europe, the colours are brown for the line (not 'phase'!) conductor, blue for the neutral conductor, and green/yellow stripe for the earth (ground) conductor. For European three-phase systems, the lines are coloured brown, black, and grey.

Do rfid tags emit radiation?

Some RFID tags emit electromagnetic radiation, which, unlike ionizing radiation (think nuclear bombs), is not deadly (or at least we think its not--the debate about cell phones and brain cancer rages on). However, some RFID tags only emit a signal when they are electromagnetically "stimuated" by an external source. Usually the source is some sort of electromagnet which, through induction, "powers up" the tag and allows it to send the required data.

Why the transistor is not used in switching 'AC voltage'?

The transistor is a "single direction current flow" device. Typically, for an NPN device, the collector must be more positive than the emitter for the device to bias on. You could use the transistor in an AC circult, but it would only conduct on half the cycle.

How do you calculate the current gain of a transistor?

Bipolar transistor current gain is also called "Beta," or the h-parameter "hfe."

beta = current_out / current_in

The beta of a BJT is mostly determined by the thickness of the Base region, and by the excess doping in the Emitter relative to the Base. A thin Base and a heavily-doped Emitter leads to a high value for current gain.

In a BJT, beta = Ic / Ib In a FET, beta is usually taken as infinity, since no current flows in or out of the gate. Beta is an impirical number. It means nothing unless the Ic is known or the load. It can have a beta from 1000 to 10 it all depends on the load.

Is electric vehicle a green form of transportation?

It depends on the car, your usage, and what you mean by "green". I had a professor that often used the phrase, "You can't have your cake and eat it, too". If what you want is to minimize your impact on the environment, then you need to minimize you (...make sacrifices); Buying a product doesn't do this, your actions do. Walking would be more green. If that is not feasible, use a bike. If that's not feasible, public transport. If that's not feasible, perhaps you can carpool. If that's not feasible, maybe a "green" car would help. Just remember that batteries are made from some fairly toxic substances, and in general only last about five years. The used ones have to go somewhere, and that somewhere is back into the environment.

How do you download characters in transformers 2 the game?

What does bms mean in electrical terms?

Building Management System- in electrical terms this is information from the BMS outputs of a control can be made available to a computer in an office elsewhere for monitoring purposes

What is 11 kV single phase?

for USA, Canada and other countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A 11kV single phase line is one phase of a three phase system. The three phase system voltage is found by multiplying 11kV x 1.73. The three phase primary system voltage is 19kV. A transformer with a 11 kV primary can have a secondary of 115/230 depending on the internal connections in the transformer's case.
For the UK11 kV is the standard three-phase h.v. distribution voltage in the UK, where it is a line voltage (i.e. it is the voltage measured between any pair of the three line conductors). A single-phase distribution transformer is connected between any two lines, so 'single-phase 11-kV' is simply a connection made between any two lines of an 11-kV three-phase system.

As the primary windings of three-phase 11-kV distribution transformers are delta (3-wire) connected, the primary phase voltage is numerically equal to the primary line voltage (11 kV).

What is Magnitude of the voltage or current?

"Magnitude" means how strong it is - how much voltage (how many volts), or how much current (how many amperes).

On a 220 volt electric motor which is the neutral wire L1 L2 or L3?

If the motor wire numbers are L1, L2 and L3, it is not a single phase motor. It is a three phase motor. Also for future reference, a 220 volt single phase motor does not use a neutral.

What would make a light brighter the Alternating Current or the Direct Current if both have the same voltage?

For the same bulb, there would be no difference if the AVERAGE power is the same. For DC this is easy....Power = V X I. For AC it is much more complicated, for a purely resistive light bulb, Power = Vrms X I. So for AC the voltage is the "root mean square" of the peaks.

Does current flow through a resistor or across a resistor?

Normally through the resistor's internal construction. It flows through any part of the resistor that has low resistance- be it anywere. And then there's this. It might be that one should consider that current flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across a resistor. Perhaps this is where the question began. The former is fairly straight forward. The latter can be vexing. Voltage is said to be dropped across a resistor when current is flowing through it. The voltage drop may be also considered as the voltage measureable across that resistor or the voltage "felt" by that resistor. It's as if that resistor was in a circuit by itself and hooked up to a battery of that equivalent voltage.

How do you wire a 3 phase 4 wire plug does it matter which leg the wild is on?

Of the three conductors the combination is irrelevant except with respect to phasing and rotation. If the equipment requires proper phasing ( motors need to turn a specific direction), wire it up and "bump" a contactor. If the direction of rotation is not correct, swap 2 of the conductors. Do the swap at the lineside of the disconnect/ breaker, etc. In the case of an HVAC/R non-scroll compressor, rotation is not an issue. One exception would be if the control system were to use one phase to neutral. This should not be the case as you specified 4 wire three phase, which implies the fourth conductor by code, is a ground and control is provided by two of the three conductors providing control voltage. Check the schematic and/ or contact the manufacturer of the equip. lc

If the distance between the parallel plate capacitor is reduced to half and a dielectric of dielectric constant k is introduced then how does electric field varies?

From the formula, E = V/d, where V is the voltage and d is the distance, it can be seen that the electric field and the distance are inversely related. Thus, as the distance between the parallel plate capacitors is reduced to half, the electric field is increased twice. Moreover, is a dielectric constant k is introduced, the capacitance will increase. This direct relationship can be seen in the formula, C = [k(Єo)A]/d, where k is the dielectric constant. The lowest possible value of k is 1; and that is when the dielectric is a vacuum. Other dielectric constants are greater than 1, such as teflon which has a dielectric value of 2.1 As the capacitance increases, the electric field also increases. (E = 1/2(CV^2))
