''Ohm's law is the tendency for material to oppose the flow of electrons''is this true?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, resistance is the tendency to oppose the flow of electrons. Ohm's Law simply relates resistance, voltage, and current.

What is armature in motors?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The armature has the stationary (not physically moving) magnetic field, which attracts the magnetic field in the rotor. Since DC does not alternate, a split ring is used to alternate the current (and resulting magnetic field), so that the rotor will spin.

Electrical what is kva?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On an electric bill, kVA stands for "kilovolt-ampere", which is a unit of apparent power. It measures the total electrical power, both real and reactive, that is consumed by a device or a facility.

It represents the maximum power that the electrical system can support and is used by utilities to determine the capacity requirements for supplying electricity to a customer. The actual power consumption in kilowatts (kW) is often lower than the apparent power in kVA due to the presence of reactive elements, such as inductive loads, which cause the power factor to be less than 1.

'why can't we determine barrier potential by using a voltmeter connected across the ends of a diode'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The barrier potential is not a voltage created inside the diode. instead, it refers to the depleted zone around the juncture.

Since this region is deplete from carriers (electrons or holes), it became a virtual isolator. In order to make the depleted zone conductive, you need to apply an external voltage to the diode terminals.

If the voltage is in forward bias (+ to the anode and - to the cathode), you will need 0.2/0.3 V for germanium diodes and 0.6/07 V for silicon diodes. You need an external diode to keep the forward current with safe limits.

If the voltage is in reverse mode (- to the anode and + to the cathode), you will need to apply much more voltage to achieve conduction, although this could permanently damage the diode. Zenner diodes, for instance, always work in reverse bias to create a stable voltage, which is used for regulation purposes.

What is the resistance of human skin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Measurements and research from various sources tell us that

-1mA is the sensibility threshold.

-5mA to 10mA hurts.

-40mA causes heart disturbance.

-60mA to 100mA is lethal.

These are reactions of a healthy human body. Much lower currents could be lethal for persons with heart malfunctions, pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices.

See related links for my source.

The resistance of human skin is highly variable depending on several different variables, but the two main variables are whether the skin is clean or dirty. Clean skin often has a resistance of about 500 ohms. Dirty skin can have electrical resistances of up to several million ohms.

What happens to voltage when resistance increases?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ohm's law states that "The current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit."

<<>>

if resistor exists, resistance decreases

according to ohm's law, current is directly proportional to voltage and current is inversely proportional to resistance

it means as current increases, voltage increases.

resistance increases, current decreases so as voltage

if there is no resistor, there should be no resistance except internal resistance of voltmeter and ammeter

Why tungsten filament does not obey ohm's law?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A tungsten filament does follow Ohm's Law at any instant of time. You may be confused in that the filament resistance changes from its "cold" state to its "hot" state. When cold the resistance is about 1/15 the resistance of what it is when the filament heats up, which happens very quickly. At any instant Ohm's Law holds. When the voltage is applied you have an initial current draw that exceeds the steady state current draw based on the change in resistance.

Answer

Ohm's Law either applies, or it does not. It cannot apply 'at an instant of time' -a change in current is either proportional to a change in voltage, or it isn't!

A tungsten filament does not obey Ohm's Law, because the current flowing through the filament does not increase in proportion to the applied voltage. This is because the resistance changes due to the filament's increasing temperature as the applied voltage increases. This is why Ohm's Law specifies that current is proportional to voltage, provided the temperature remains constant.

Although tungsten doesn't obey Ohm's Law, the so-called Ohm's Law equation applies whether a circuit obeys Ohm's Law or not. This is because the formula is really derived from the definition of the ohm, and not from Ohm's Law itself, which makes absolutely NO reference to resistance!

What are the components of a generator set?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generator set, also known as genset, typically consists of components such as engine, alternator, control panel, fuel system, cooling system, exhaust system, battery and starting system, voltage regulator, control and protection devices, base frame and enclosure, etc. These components work together to generate electrical power and provide backup or primary power supply in different applications.

Do air conditioners use resistive load or inductive load?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

resistive load

Answer

If the current is driving a motor, then the load is resistive-inductive.

What is the relationship between current and current density?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Current (I) is measured in amperes, which is an SI Base Unit, defined in terms of the force (expressed in newtons) between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors.

Current is the rate at which electric charge (Q) flows. Electric charge is measured in coulombs, which is an SI Derived Unit, defined in terms of current and time (t) the ampere and the second. That is: Q = I t.

So a 'coulomb' is a special name given to an 'ampere second'.

Define work and power?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Work (W) is defined as 'energy in transit', and describes the conversion of one form of energy into another -for example, when an electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, it is doing work. The SI unit of measurement for work is the joule (J). Another commonly-encountered unit of measurement for work is the watt hour (W.h).

Power (P) is the rate of doing work. The SI unit for power is the watt (W) a special name, equivalent to a joule per second.

Why does a three phase transformer not short itself out when the phases are connected through the transformer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I asked this very question to my professor in electronics 101 in college! He explained to me the load side of the transformer if not connected to any load is open. This is a great

resistance to completing the circuit. This is transferred to the primary side of the transformer as a great resistance thus no current flow.

What is the voltage of British rail overhead lines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On the main railway network, overhead lines use 25kV AC. In the past, some lines used 1500V dc overhead and 6.25kV ac overhead as well, but these have all been closed or converted. Tram and light rail systems use other systems.

What is thermal overload?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The load current is made to flow through the thermal overload relay, which is actually a bimetalic strip. Beyond a prespecified current the bimetalic strip tend to deflect due to heat (thermal effect) thus cutting off the circuit and hence it acts as an over load relay protection.

A brick wall is not a sufficiently good electrical conductor to act as part of an earthing system. There is no substitute for a proper system.

What is a quantity that measures the rate at which work is done?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Work is usually measured in joules, which are a unit of energy. Work/time is called power and is usually measured in Watts (joules/second) other common units of power include Horsepower and ft*lbs /sec.

in short, is is power, which is measures in watts.
