What is the answer to a coulomb is a measure of?

A coulomb is a measure of electric charge and is equal to -6.24151 x 10^18 electrons.

What happens when a light bulb is unscrewed in a series circuit?

All other light bulbs will turn off due to the series circuit being broken. The electrons cannot travel all the way through, hence the current will also not flow in the circuit, switching off all the other bulbs too.

CommentIt's worth pointing out that the full supply voltage will then appear across the lamp holder -so take care!

What is the energy stored in a 32 mH inductor that carries a current of 5 amps?

.4 mj

Answer

Assuming the current is constant, then the energy stored is given by:

W = 0.5 LI2 = 0.5 x (32 x 10-3) x 5 = 80 mJ

How many gallons of oil in a 2500 kva 12470 480 volt transformer?

Oil is used to cool the transformer. There is no telling what the transformer in question uses without knowing the specific part number and looking up the specification.

What are the application of core type transformer?

The main application for a core type transformer is to increase voltage from a standard 240v supply up to 415v instead of using a 3 phase supply.

Will 60 hz devices work on 50hz?

the maximum rating is 60 hz . it is work in50hz

What is a transient emission?

Transient emissions are" unwanted high voltage generated during ON and OFF the Electronic or Mechanical switches".this will cause some unwanted function in the system.

Can a capacitor be gradually charged by lesser capacitors?

A: SURE capacitors in parallel will share the charge. But don't expect a .0001 mfd capacitor to charge a 1000 mfd capacitor. It just does not have the power stored to effectively charge the 1000 mfd. EXAMPLE 1litter of water cannot fill up a 5 litter container

Why is constant voltage needed across digital circuit?

A; Many years ago the industry established a standard of 5 volts as an operational power. This is no longer true. But the reason was is to provide bias for the inputs to establish a level of triggering and also provide noise immunity with hysteresis

Why is the voltage across a battery in a parallel circuit equal to the voltage across each bulb?

The voltage across a battery in a parallel circuit is equal to the voltage across each bulb because Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the signed sum of the voltages going around a series circuit adds up to zero. Each section of the parallel circuit, i.e. the battery and one bulb, constitutes a series circuit. By KVL, the voltage across the battery must be equal and opposite to the voltage across the bulb.

Another way of thinking about this is to consider that the conductors joining the battery and bulbs effectively have zero ohms resistance. By Ohm's law, this means the voltage across the conductor is zero, which means the voltage across the bulb must be equal to the voltage across the battery and, of course, the same applies for all of the bulbs.

Why is voltmeter is connected in parallel and ammeter in series?

Because its function is to measure the current, i.e. the amount of electrical flow in the circuit, and this require that the current flows through the ammeter A good ammeter has very low series resistance, so connecting it in series will not affect your circuit. Be careful when using an ammeter , because of its very low resistance , it can cause a short circuit if you use it by mistake to measure "voltage", so avoid connecting it in Parallel.

Does a diode have polarity?

Yes, a diode inherently has polarity, as current is only allowed to flow one direction.

What is the function of light detector circuit?

a: its function is to detect a change of light withing its perimeter

What is cable size for 250 kva gen-set?

250 kVA generators come in different voltage settings and this information is needed before a wire size can be given

What is DC offset in signal generator?

A sine wave centered at zero will have a positive peak that is the same magnitude as the negative peak. This can be offset so the negative peak magnitude does not match the positive peak magnitude. For example a 1volt peak - neutral sine wave could be DC offset by 1 volt so the positive peak is at 2 volts and the negative peak is at 0.

What is the fuction of the step-up transformer?

Step-Up Transformers increase the primary voltage to a higher voltage, of same frequency.

What are the essential differences between a semiconductor junction diode and a tunnel diode?

A: The essential difference is while it will behave like a normal diode at some at .6 forward voltage it has a negative impedance area before this point is reached it is not a very stable area to maintain and has the tendency to switch from one mode [low level] to the other .6v and very fast endeed.
