They are RCA type connectors on the back of your Head Unit (Radio). There are 2 connections, usually blue and white, the cord for this has the same connectors on both ends. The Pre-Amp outputs are a direct line for the Signal from your Head Unit to go directly to an Amplifier (you will see similar connections on your Amplifier as you see on the back of your Head Unit), so when you run speaker wire from your Amplifier, the speakers will play the sound (Music) your Head Unit is producing no matter if its from the CD or FM/AM tuner or AUX input like from an I-Pod.
Another Answer
A pre-amplifier, which is also known as a 'control unit', a high-fidelity unit which is separate from, but which must be used together with, a 'power amplifier'.
Pre-amplifier/power amplifier units are normally regarded as 'high end' equipment and tend to be very expensive. The pre-amplifier unit is equipped with inputs for phono, CD-player, tuner, and various other auxiliary units and (usually) provides a single pair (right- and left-channels) audio outputs for connection to the power amplifier. The pre-amplifier is the unit which provides the volume control, tone controls, filters, etc., while the power amplifier simply amplifies the output from the pre-amplifier unit. The output usually takes the form of a pair of RCA connectors, usually colour coded white and red.
Some 'home theatre' amplifiers provide a 'pre-amplifier' output, which bypasses its internal power amplifier, for the purpose of adding external power amplifiers, if desired.
Does a standard multimeter measure ac in peak or peak to peak?
Neither. A.C. voltage, and current, are expressed as root-mean-square (rms) values, and this is what a voltmeter and an ammeter reading will indicate. To measure peak voltage, or peak-to-peak voltage, you will need to use an oscilloscope.
How much resistance is in the circuit if it uses a current of 10ma?
Just use Ohms Law: V=IR, that is, voltage (in Volt) = current (in Ampere) x resistance (in Ohms).
What are the disadvantages in using a series circuit?
Series:
It is impossible to control the bulbs individually. This is one reason that series circuits are not practical for use in home lighting: It is not possible to control the lights in different rooms throughout the house on the same circuit. For example, if someone wanted to read the newspaper or watch television, he would have to turn on a switch that would put on every light and electrical appliance in the whole house.
Also, in a series circuit, the more output devices you add the slower the current becomes. If these output devices were, for example, bulbs, this would mean that the brightness of the bulbs would be dimmed. Another disadvantage of a series circuit is that if a bulb were broken or the pathway broken in any way, the other bulbs would go out too.
Advantages are that you can add more power sources, like batteries, and increase the force of the output which grants you more power. In Parallel, however, the power stays at the same voltage of the original power source. For example, if you were running a circuit on a 5-volt battery and it kept the bulb going for two hours and then added another 5-volt battery, it would keep the bulbs going for four hours instead, but it would only give out 5-volts instead of increasing it to ten.
Parallel:
Advantages would be that, if it were light bulbs that were the output devices linked in parallel, if one bulb broke the others would continue going. Also, the brightness of the bulbs would be greater than the brightness of bulbs in series.
Disadvantages are that there could be a risk of fire in some cases. Another would be that, if you have multiple power sources, the power stays at the same voltage as that of the single power source. In parallel, increasing the number of output devices does not increase the resistance like it does in series.
Does a digital signal travel farther than an analog signal?
You need to make a distinction between analog and digital signals, and analog and digital data. Digital data can be sent on an analog signal by using a modem. Digital data sent on a digital signal is done over a wire using voltage pulses at two or more levels. Digital signals can't travel very far without amplifiers, but analog signals can cover huge distances, such as with satellite communications and even communications with deep space probes.
Modern uses are to merely name different stars and to locate them in the sky.

Why internal resistance of an ideal voltage source is zero and an ideal current source is infinty?
Current source means current generator for a circuit.
An ideal current source gives all current to the circuit, but practically a current source does n't give all current to the circuit, instead, a source resistor is connected in parallel to the current source to indicate the current drop.
What is mean by registers in micro controller?
Registers are a special type of memory that are dedicated to micro-controllers (or CPUs). Controllers have register-memory for speed.
The slowest part of any computer is the bus. The bus is the wiring that connects different components. In this case the micro-controller and main memory. While main memory and the micro-controller are both very fast, the wiring between them is slow.
Should the micro-controller have to be slow to compensate for the slow wiring?
The solution is to have register-memory. Memory physically part of the micro-controller that allows the controller to use it instantly. The controller can then move data from a register to RAM as soon as the bus is available.
Register-memory comes from the concept of a Cash Register [1879]. A cash register is used to perform transactions and store money on it's way to a vault the same way a CPU or micro-controller stores data on its way to main memory.
How do you step down 240V ac to 220V ac?
You can use a voltage transformer or converter that is specifically designed to step down the voltage from 240V AC to 220V AC. Make sure to select a transformer that is rated for the appropriate power handling capacity to ensure safe and efficient operation.

How many ohm's is a 1M5 resistor?
The plural of 'ohm' is ohms, not ohm's.
The alpha-numeric code for identifying the resistance of a resistor is quite straightforward.
The letter is used as a multiplier. For example, k= x1000 and M = x1000 000. In other words, k represents kilo, and M represents mega.
The position of the letter represents the position of the decimal marker.
So,
Similarly,

A capacitor opposes a change in?
Capacitors charge by transferring charge from one plate to the other. This is not the same as a battery, though it can seem so. They oppose a change in voltage because the two plates are close to each other, separated by the dielectric, and the transfer of charge requires current. Once charged, however, the current becomes zero. The differential equation describing a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c, or volts per second = current over capacitance.
How much current flows through a resistor with zero potential difference?
No current flows when the the voltage is zero.
What is the absolute value of -9?
The absolute value of -9 is
=|-9| = 9
Explanation :
Here's how you can picture absolute value: Think of a railroad track with a zero sitting in the middle of it. Every little notch to the left and right of the zero is another number. Negative numbers line up on the left; positive numbers run along the track to the right. So, the number -4.0 is 4 units away from zero. The number -45.3 is 45.3 units away from zero and the number 10 is 10 units away from zero. Therefore, the absolute value of any number is really a positive number (or zero). You identify an absolute value of a number by writing the number between two vertical bars: |number|.
Why the generators are always excited using dc voltage and not ac?
Mainly there are three points,
1. If you give AC to the field coil, there is no need of rotating it, as AC itself produces alternating flux.Thus generator will give Transformer action which actually transfer the power not actually it generates or produce as per the basic law of mutual Induction.
2.In case if you rotate the field giving AC Supply by a prime mover , actually constant poles(as in physical magnet) will not be produced.For every cycle of rotation,there will be continuous change in the poles in respect to three windings of Armature.So as it results irregular waveforms of voltages,we cant tap the pure sinusoidal 3 phase supply from armature.Most probably it will get distorts & might be chances of burning of Stator(armature)coil in Alternator.
3.So to overcome come from all above disadvantages, DC excitation will be given so that constant field strength will be maintained as in case if we employ permanent magnets which produces constant flux
