What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points on a curcuit called?
A short curcuit is a low-resistance connection established by accident or intention between two points in an electric circuit.
How many paths does an electric current takes place in a Parallel Connection?
The current splits up and takes as many paths as there are available. Every path that exists conducts current. There's no such thing as a parallel branch of a circuit that has no current through it when others do have current through them..
What is an equation for power?
Power = (energy used)/(time to use it)Power dissipated by an electrical circuit =(voltage across the circuit) x (current through the circuit)or(resistance of the circuit) x (square of the current through the circuit)or(square of the voltage across the circuit)/(resistance of the circuit)
How do you find power in a series circuit?
Power dissipated by the entire series circuit = (voltage between its ends)2 / (sum of resistances of each component in the circuit). Power dissipated by one individual component in the series circuit = (current through the series circuit)2 x (resistance of the individual component).
What is the difference between a volt meter and a am-meter?
A voltmeter measures the difference in potential between two points on a circuit. An ammeter measures the amount of current passing through a point in a circuit. Although you often see them packaged together in a tool called a multimeter, they measure different quantities: Voltage, also known as potential difference, measured in volts, and Current, measured in amperes, or just amps. Also, they're used in somewhat different ways: -- The voltmeter simply touches the two points in the circuit between which the voltage is measured. -- The ammeter has the circuit current flowing through it. That means the circuit must be broken briefly, and the ammeter connected into the 'hole', before the current can be measured. (There are instruments that are exceptions, but they're rather specialized. The statement above holds generally true for the common ammeter.)
Unintended high current closed connection between two points in a circuit?
A short, or short circuit.
What is an unintended current closed connection between two points in a circuit called?
Power Surge
A connection that allows current to take an unintended path?
"short circuit"
What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points in a circuit called?
short or short circuit
What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points on a curcuit called?
A short curcuit is a low-resistance connection established by accident or intention between two points in an electric circuit.
What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points in a called?
a short
How do you know when you have a circuit?
tuned circuit
What is the current of a series-parallel circuit connection?
The current flowing through a series circuit is (voltage between the circuit's ends) / (sum of all resistances in the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
What type of connection will cause an overload current?
A connection between the "hot" and the neutral will cause an over current condition. In electrical terminology this is known as a short circuit.
What is open circuit and short circuit?
Consider two points (A and B) in an electric circuit. An open circuit between A and B means there is no electrical connection between A and B. A short circuit between A and B means there is an electrical connection between A and B.
What are the images of series and parallel circuit?
parallel circuit, a circuit containing two or more subcircuits connected across each other allowing current flow to divide between them, the voltage across all of these subcircuits is identicalseries circuit, a circuit containing two or more subcircuits connected inline with each other allowing the voltage to distribute across them, current flow through all these subcircuits is identicalopen circuit, a circuit with a break (or opening) in it, preventing current from flowingclosed circuit, a circuit with no breaks (its fully closed) in it, permitting current flowshort circuit, a circuit having an unintended low impedance path (or shortcut path) somewhere in it causing current flow to bypass one or more subcircuits within the circuit; this often causes excessive current flow and damage, unless a fuse melts or a circuit breaker pops to create an open circuit and thus protect things
Why phase current is equal to line current in star connection?
Because it is the same current, as you can determine by examining a circuit diagram of a star connection.
