Can you hook up 2 8 ohm speakers to a 2 ohm amp?
Sorry, but there is no 2 ohm amplifier on the market, when you mean the output impedance. The impedance is always 0.5 ohms or less. We don't use impedance matching, we use voltage bridging. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units - power amplifier and passive loudspeaker".

What does alternating current mean?
An alternating current (AC) is an electrical current whose magnitude and direction vary cyclically, as opposed to direct current, whose direction remains constant.
The word 'alternating' itself means "changing of direction of flow".
The usual waveform of an AC power circuit is very close to a sine wave because this is the way the electricity is generated in the power plants. It also allows us to efficiently transmit the energy by transforming it to higher and lower voltages.
<><><>
AC, or Alternating Current, does exactly what the name implies. In USA, Canada - and in other countries which use the same service frequency - the direction of the current changes 60 times a second (also called a frequency of 60 Hertz) within the 'Hot' wire (also known as the 'Live') - often colored Black - and the Return or Common wire (technically known as the 'Neutral'), which is usually colored White.
In Europe and many other areas of the world, the service frequency is 50 times a second (50 Hertz) within the 'Live' wire which is colored Brown (but on older systems it is colored Black) and the Return or Common wire (technically known as the 'Neutral'), which is colored Blue (but on older systems it is colored Black).
It is the service frequency which makes the typical "humming" sound you hear from transformers or electric AC motors when they are running.
<><><>
During just one cycle of a single-phase alternating supply, the "live" or "hot" wire of an alternating voltage (or current) supply goes from zero to its positive peak, then back to zero, then continues on to its negative peak and back to zero again.
These positive- and negative-going parts of each cycle are always voltages (or currents) relative to the "neutral" wire. A neutral wire is necessary to allow the currents to return to the alternator.
In a 60 hertz supply there are 60 such cycles in each and every second. Similarly, there are 50 such cycles in each and every second in a 50 hertz supply.

The good link below "AC, DC and Electrical Signals" gives a lot more information about the difference between alternating current and direct current.
How do you increase the range of a Wifi transmitter?
You can buy range extenders that work with the wireless router. Bestbuy has some belkin, d-link, netgear and some linksys ones. What I meant was something free. I've heard things like putting a pringles can over the antenna will increase the range. Is that true? If not, are there other things like that that would work? I have tried using cans as improvised "cantennas" over my wireless router's dipole antennas. The signal results were worse than without the cans. A cantenna must be built to the correct dimensions to provide any signal gain, and it replaces the entire antenna. An almost-free solution is to build a parabolic reflector for each of your transmitter's antennas, directing the signal only where it's needed. See http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template/ The only materials needed are glue, tape, aluminum foil, and light cardstock (a file folder will do). Since the cardstock is "invisible" to your wifi devices, you can tape the left & right edges of the foil to the outside (convex side) of the reflector. When the reflector is bent into a parabola, having the foil on the outside will pull the foil smooth rather than crumpling it. Here's one I designed for specific antennas: http://24.106.181.178/geocorona/index.html A true parabola with the antenna in the correct focal point will precisely direct the radio signals from your wireless device (eg, laptop) to the antenna, and vice versa. A simple reflector such as a can or arbitrarily shaped foil will sometimes cause more interference than signal gain. For those with a Linux-based Linksys router, third-party firmware is available that will allow a capable Linux user to electronically boost the signal strength of the router, but this will not increase the router's ability to receive signals from the client devices it serves. A bi-directional amplifier for the 2.4 GHz frequencies is required to get a signal boost both ways. These amplifiers usually cost as much as the wireless router they boost.
It seems most likely to me that the ballast of the dim one is bad--metal halide bulbs aren't simply connected to the 120 V line voltage but need a "ballast" for several functions, including producing a high enough voltage to start them and regulating the current through them. If one was bad (or was designed for a different bulb), that would explain everything. One other possibility is that there's a wiring problem and either the dim one isn't getting a full 120 V, or the others are getting more than 120 V. If this is a three-phase commercial installations there are various ways to mis-wire things and get odd voltages; in a residential system, you'd pretty much either have 120 or 240, and the 240 would probably quickly overheat a ballast made for 120, so that doesn't sound likely.
What is the purpose of shape of parabolic antenna?
The parabolic shape is a special concave reflecting surface that concentrates wave energy. It is used to collect the parallel waves from an extremely distant source.
There is a special location called the focal point where the wave receiver (detector) is placed. Waves arriving from any other direction (angle) will concentrate away from this receiver and are ignored.
You can also emit energy at the focal point. The reflected energy will stay concentrated (parallel) over extreme distances.
After which scientists was the unit ampere named after?
André-Marie Ampère (20 January 1775 - 10 June 1836)
3 dB is a way to describe the amount by which power increases when it doubles.
1 dB = increase 26%
2 dB = increase 58%
3 dB = double
4 dB = 2.51 times
5 dB = 3.16 times
6 dB = 4 times (3 dB + 3 dB = double double)
7 dB = 5 times
8 dB = 6.31 times
9 dB = 8 times (3+3+3 = double double double)
10 dB = 10 times
Similarly
-1 dB = decrease 26%
-2 dB = decrease 58%
-3 dB = halve
-4 dB = decrease 2.51 times
...etc...
The equation is:
dB change = 3 log2 ( final power / initial power )
Edit:
The more "official" equation used to compute a decibel Gain/Loss when comparing power values is this:
GdB = 10*log10(Pout/Pin)
Where GdB is the gain in power (if the value is negative, it means loss)
and Pout is the power level seen at the output
and Pin is the power level seen at the input
Also, 0 dB means no change in power.
Note: If you're measuring an amplitude (like a Voltage or Current value), then the decibel equation increases by a factor of 2:
GdB = 20*log10(Pout/Pin)
So, to double an amplitude, a 6dB increase would be required.
In other words, take the values at the top of this answer, and double the left side of the equation, and that's how it works with amplitudes.
Lastly, it's important to understand that when multiplying in the linear world, you are adding in the decibel world. If you double a power level 2 times (e.g. 10 watts -> 20 watts -> 40 watts), you are multiplying 4 fold, but you are increasing by 6 dB (3dB + 3dB = 6dB).
BUT if your talking about audio (sound) 1db is the smallest change in sound volume the human ear can detect.
You want to know about the voltage selector circuit using transformer?
the voltage selector circuit is used for converting input electrical energy through the voltage selection circuit,which is arranged within the transformer body with its two ends electric allay connected to an input port and an output voltage connection device must be plugged in a socket portion on the transformer body to initalize a micro control unit through feedback to change a volatage value sent to a voltage transformer unit and in turn change the voltage of output electrical energy until a display device displays an ideal output voltage value. Then, the user removes the connection device, and the voltage value of the input electrical energy is converted into corresponding to the selected

How do electrons flow in an electric circuit in terms of voltage difference?
Electrons are negatively charged particles. When a voltage difference exists, electrons are repelled from the more negative (or less positive) voltage toward the more positive voltage. If they are in a material which allows conduction of electricity, then the electrons will flow toward the more positive voltage.
Radar Pulse Repetition Frequency - The number of pulses the radar system sends out to the target. A pulse can contain multiple frequencies.
The term "tar drees" does not make sense". Also, 100 Coulombs is awfully small for a lightning strike. Please restate the question.
Do individual lines in a parallel circuit have different currents flowing through them?
They can.
The current in each "line" (correctly, *branch*) depends on (i) the applied voltage and (ii) the individual resistance in each branch.
If the branch resistances are different, the branch currents will be different.
Ohm's Law will let you calculate the individual currents.
On a 1998 Kia Sephia what is on the Fuse 30 BTN circuit?
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE .. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER..PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX
A UPS or "Uninterrupted Power Supply" is a device which converts mains power to DC then back to mains power. At the DC level, energy is stored in batteries or capacitors so that when there is an interru[tion to the normal mains supply, energy is taken from the power storage devices and delivered to the output so that the output is always at the cvorrect mains voltage, surge free.
What is the difference between communication and telecommunication?
Communication is talking to someone or thing telecommunication is talking through technology meaning phones/Internet etc...
Whenever an electrical contact is made or broken, an electrical spark jumps through the air between the two contact points while they are very close together but not yet, or not any longer, touching. That spark jumping is an electrical arc and the event is arcing contact.
The main cause of arcing is the property of a circuit to maintain the continuity of the current, so whenever the contacts separate to break the circuit the air (or any dielectric medium that is used) ionises and continuity of the current is maintained, at least momentarily.
Does a 9 volt battery have more power than a 6 volt battery?
Power or energy cannot be measured in volts. The only thing you can say is one - the 9 volt battery - has a higher voltage than the other, the 6 volt battery.
If you are asking about the power or energy contained in a battery, then the amount iof energy it can supply depends mostly on its physical size that is determined by the battery "type".
