Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally represent analog signals.

What is causing the brake lights not to work on 1997 Ford Explorer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Check the fuse, bulbs/assy., and wiring another thing to check is where the bulbs connect. sometimes like my 94 one of the connectors in the bulb housing was broken. also there is a brake light sensor on the brake petal that is turned on when you depress the brake. usually near the top of the brake petal

Check the Idle Air Control. It might have carbon deposits and need cleaning. Also do the same for the throttle body intake. It might also need cleaning.

What is the purpose of a current limiting resistor in a diode circuit?

User Avatar

Asked by Shocktreatment9

Diodes are rated to use a certain amount of current. If you go over that amount, it will eventually destroy the device, how long it takes to destroy the device depends on how much more current you are running through it than it is rated at.

What is the power dissipated by a 9 ohm resistor with 3 amps flowing through it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here are a few easy and related equations.

V = Voltage, I = Current (amps)

R = Resistance, (Ohms)

V = I X R

R= V / I

I = V / R

Power = Watts = W, is expressed as V X I. Since V =I X R, W then also = R X I X I

Which is I **2 X R

Same as V**2 / R

So, if your I = 3 and your R = 3, and because I X R = V,

3 X 3 =9 Volts

(Note: capacitance and inductance can also influence the amount of current flow in a system. This resistance is referred to as reactance. Both reactances are a function of the frequency of the Voltage applied.)

Does increasing the voltage across a resistor increase the electric current through the resistor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Resistance is not affected by either voltage or current. It is determined only by the cross-sectional area, length, and resistivity of the material. As resistivity is affected by temperature, resistance is indirectly affected by temperature.

In the so-called 'Ohm's Law' equation, resistance is a constant. So, if you increase voltage, the resistance remains constant, and the current would increase in proportional to the voltage.

In a circuit the voltage across all resistores is the same?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends upon the connection of the resistors, if the resistors are connected in parallel then the voltage is same where as in case of resistors connected in series the voltage is different across different resistors.

How much current at 240 volts passes through a wire with a resistance of 100 ohms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

current = voltage/resistance

Assuming the 240 volts is across the 100 ohm wire, 2.4 amperes

power = current * voltage

Resulting in the wire dissipating 576 watts... One hot wire!

When a series circuit comprising of a resistor and a capacitor is connected to an AC supply the current will?

. . convert electrical energy into heat. Electric charge flowing down a potential gradient, as it does in a resistor, is the condition identified by Poynting's theorem for energy to leave the electromagnetic field.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of connecting resistors in series in terms of currents and voltages?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For an electrical device, such as a lamp for example, to operate at its rated power, it must be supplied with its rated voltage. If several such devices are to be connected to the same circuit, the only way to achieve this requirement is to connect the devices in parallel (because the same voltage appears across each branch of a parallel circuit). Furthermore, with parallel connections, if one device should fail (or simply get switched off), all the other devices will continue to operate normally. These are the two reasons why most practical circuits are parallel circuits.

Series circuits are less common but can be used for some lighting circuits (e.g. Christmas decorations) in which case the supply voltage is distributed equally across each of the lamps, which then have appropriately-rated voltages. For example, you may have twenty-four, 10-V lamps, connected in series across a 240-V supply.

What is a trimmer resistor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A trimmer resistor usually called a trim pot is a small variable resistor it is used in circuits to do preset it is trimmed with a trimmer screwdriver it is made up with a round fiber disc with a layer of carbon with a wiper that run on the carbon layer to change the resistance it always have 3 connecting pins where the center one is connected to the wiper and the other two to opposite ends of the carbon strip.

How do you find the current going into a resistor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can find the current by using an ammeter. The cheapest way (although more invasive) is to use a probe type ammeter or multimeter. To use, you need to insert the meter in the current path of the resistor (in series with the resistor). These meters are fairly cheap - as low as $8 if you shop around. If it is not feasible to break the circuit and insert the meter, and you have room around a wire going to the resistor, you could use a clamp on ammeter as well. These are typically more expensive.

If you understand resistor codes, you can also use a volt meter/multimeter to measure the voltage drop across the resistor (put the probe in parallel with the resistor). The current should be equivalent to I = V / R.

If you don't know resistor codes, do an online search to match colors with numbers. There should be three stripes. The first two are the resistance and the third is a magnitude. For example, if the first color matches the number 1, and the second matches 8, and the third matches 3, then this is a 18 x 1000 = 1.8k ohm resistor.

Why the current is equal in each resistor of a series circuit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

where else it would go through.....

the current entering the first resistor must pass through the next preceding resistors in order to reach the positive/+ve potential so as to complete the circuit.

Current flow is the actual flow of electrons so it goes from the ground (negative most point) to th emost positive point. lectrons are a negatve charged unit so they travel towards the positive point.

What is decade resistance box?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is used to dial in a specific resistance within the range of the box. It can be used wherever you need a resistor of an unknown value or a precise value. Most decade boxes provide reistance with .01% of the desired resistance. I've used them to balance a wheatstone bridge that had a tiny mV offset.

State Kirchoffs voltage and current law?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Kirchoffs Current Law : [KCL]

This law is also called Kirchhoff's point rule, Kirchhoff's junction rule (or nodal rule), and Kirchhoff's first rule. The principle of conservation of electric charge implies that: : At any point in an electrical circuit that does not represent a capacitor plate, the sum of currents flowing towards that point is equal to the sum of currents flowing away from that point. Kirchoffs Voltage Law : [KVL]

This law is also called Kirchhoff's second law, Kirchhoff's loop (or mesh) rule, and Kirchhoff's second rule. : The directed sum of the electrical potential differences around any closed circuit must be zero.

Kirchoffs Laws are widely used in the Electrical and Electronic engineering fields.

Hope this helps =)

What is the effect on the current in a wire if both the voltage across it and it's resistance are doubled?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By Ohm's Law, current is voltage divided by resistance, so if you double both the voltage and the resistance, the current would remain the same.

What is a modern sefety device on an automatic garage door opener?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Basically, there are two main safety mechanisms at work here:
Safety Sensors - installed on both sides of the door about 2 inches from the ground and connected to the opener, these sensors send a signal to the opener to reverse the door in case they detect that something is blocking their path.


Reverse mechanism - This one relates to the opener’s limit. The lower limit is set to the height of the floor. If the door encounters any sort of resistance during closing before it hits the floor (the lower limit the opener is set for), it should reverse.
