Is polarity negative or positive?

Yes. Electrons always flow from the negative pole to the positive pole. In a Direct current(DC) circuit, one pole is always negative, the other pole is always positive and the electrons flow in one direction only. In an alternating Current (AC) circuit the two poles alternate between negative and positive and the direction of the electron flow continually reverses. In DC circuits (e.g. for a battery) positive is usually marked red and negative is usually marked black, but other color schemes are very common in automotive and telecommunications systems. In AC systems which are at no point connected to earth (unlike domestic mains wiring where the neutral is commonly earthed at substations and generators) polarity is not important as the two wires alternate polarity many times per second.


You are wiring a LED lamp through a transformer you have a polarized plug and you know positive and negative The transformer is marked live and neutral Does live correspond with positive or negative?

LED's are DC voltage. Transformers are AC voltage. There is no positive or negative on AC voltage. You would need a diode to change the AC to DC, then there would be positive and negative voltages.


Does a 220 volt ac contact get a positive and a negative?

A 220 vac circuit has 2 hot wires and a neutral. The neutral stays at 0 volts and the hot wires vary between positive and negative. When one is positive, the other is negative.


Is a red wire negative or positive?

In a DC circuit it is positive. In a 220v ac circuit it's one of the two positive (hot) lines.


If x is between a and c how are ax and ac related?

If a,b, and c are positive a < x < b means ax < cx If a,b , and c are negative a < x < b means ax > cx

Do ac capacitor have polarity?

no


What current has negative and positive polarity?

Alternating current (AC) has both negative and positive polarity as it periodically reverses direction. In AC systems, the voltage oscillates between positive and negative values, which allows electricity to be transmitted efficiently over long distances. This is in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction and maintains a constant polarity.


Do electrolytic capacitors generally have polarity?

Yes. Electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Capacitors with positive and negative poles generally have positive and negative marks. Generally, for capacitors with pins, the long end of the pin is the positive electrode. For cylindrical electrolytic capacitors, there will be a vertical line printed on the negative side of the capacitor. SMD capacitors generally have no positive and negative poles. --- We're JYH HSU(JEC) Electronics Ltd (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronic Co., Ltd.), an electronic components manufacturer.

The electric device which blocks DC but allows AC is called?

A capacitor is a device which blocks DC, but allows AC. When a capacitor is completely charged it does not allow current to pass through it. Initially when capacitor starts charging it has maximum current which flows and voltage is minimum, during charging current decreases with time and voltage increases. When capacitor is completely charged, it has maximum voltage and minimum current. However the AC has both positive and negative half cycles, during positive half cycle capacitor starts charging but during negative half cycle it discharges, and hence it doesn't get fully charged at AC, and current always flows through it.


Is 12 volts peak to peak the same as 12 volts ac?

No. 12 volts peak to peak would be 6 in the positive polarity and 6 negative polarity. Simply saying 12 volts AC would be 12 volts in each polarity or 24 volts peak to peak


What will happen if you changes the polarity of the capacitor in their respective position?

It will either explode right away, or work for a short time then explode. Note though, that the capacitor's polarity only applies to DC voltage. Because AC flows through a capacitor, if there is no DC offset, it matters not which way the capacitor goes.


Why capacitor does not store alternate current but store direct current?

Because Alternet current has both positive as well as negative cycle capacitor does not conduct for negative cycle of the Alternet current and DC all are positive cycle thats why it capacitor conduct for DC not for AC


Why AC waveform positive and negative voltage value compared to DC that had only positive value of the voltage?

because of the type of generator used in making ac voltage: it makes Ac which is harder to manage, but the generator is really simple. Ac switches the positive and negative, or ground polarities and the length of time it is on one polarity is determined by it's wavelength. There are also different types of waves. Sinular waves are... well,.. wavy they gradually switch polarities by slowly decreasing voltage until it is zero, then rising in voltage of the other polarity. then, there are box waves which switch directly from one polarity to another. And, your grammer isn't the best.


Why is there a positive and negative terminal in electical device?

there are positive and negative terminal in electrical device who operate on dc power supply because they wont work if the connection is reversed. but devices who operate on ac usually dosenot have polarity marks .


How do you connect compasstor on a Ac?

To connect a capacitor in an AC circuit, first ensure the circuit is powered off for safety. Identify the correct terminals of the capacitor, usually marked with positive (+) and negative (-) signs. Connect one terminal of the capacitor to the AC source and the other terminal to the load or ground, ensuring that the capacitor type (polarized or non-polarized) is appropriate for the application. Finally, double-check all connections before powering the circuit back on.


Why capacitor does not allow DC?

In order for a capacitor to pass current, the voltage across it must be changing. In a DC circuit, the voltage does not change so, at equilibrium, the capacitor is effectively an open circuit. We also call this DC blocking. You can take a signal with DC bias on it, perhaps because it came from a class A BJT amplifier, couple it with a capacitor, and the signal will make it through, but the DC bias will not.
