Why there is phase shift in AC circuit?
due to presence of passive elements
Is constant voltage source an active or passive element?
is active...and bilateral
What would cause a circuit breaker heating element to trip off?
There are two conditions that would cause a breaker to trip off. One is an overload of the circuit and the other is a short circuit on the circuit. The heating element within the breaker is what monitors for circuit overloads.
What is kirchhoff's loop theorem?
a closed path in a circuit in which no circuit element or node is encountered more than once.
Why power does not remains same in series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current through each element is the same current. Because the total current must flow through every element. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each element is the same voltage. Because every element is connected individually across the power supply.
What happens to voltages and currents when there are passive elements connected in series and in parallel?
In a series circuit the current flow in each element is equal but voltage across the each element is differ. In a parallel circuit the voltage across the each element is equal but current flow in each element is differ.
Whether a capacitor is an active or a passive element?
Passive element. An active element is an element that can generate power. Capacitors can't generate power, hence they are passive elements.
What is a Memristor?
a memristor is the fourth passive element in the electric circuit joining the resistor,inductor and capacitor , the word memristor is the concatenation of "memory" and "resistance"
What is Memristor?
a memristor is the fourth passive element in the electric circuit joining the resistor,inductor and capacitor , the word memristor is the concatenation of "memory" and "resistance"
Is transistor active or passive element?
it is a active component.
Why there is phase shift in AC circuit?
due to presence of passive elements
What is the difference in parallel circuit and series circuit?
In a series type circuit, the electric current passes through each element of the circuit (light bulb or whatever) in sequence; it does not reach any element until it has first passed through all the earlier elements. In a parallel type circuit, every element of the circuit receives its electric current independently. A separate wire connects each element to the source of the current rather than to the previous element of the circuit.
Are capacitors and inductors active elements?
Capacitors and inductors are considered passive elements, not active elements, because capacitors and inductors do not supply or amplify energy. An example of an active element is a battery, which supplies energy to a circuit.
Is constant voltage source an active or passive element?
is active...and bilateral
What is circuit board?
A circuit board It is a board containing devices passive and/or active that can be installed on a system to make it whole. Usualy refered a PCB OR PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD.its a board of circuits
Which circuit element is used to block DC in an electronic circuit?
Capacitance will block DC
Examples of active and passive elements?
active element means that does not work itself it require external power source for working ie electricity or other and passive element means that work ifself does not equire external power source for working ie electricity or other eg. active- compressor need electricity, also tv,computer etc passive- thermometer sens temperature itself (mercury thermometer)
