If you have no idea what the voltage is that you're about to measure,
then you should set the meter to the highest range before you connect
it to the two points in the circuit. 

Analog meters indicate the measurement by moving a physical needle
across a physical card with physical numbers printed on it.  If the unknown
voltage happens to be 100 times the full range to which the meter is set,
then the needle may find itself trying to move to a position that's 100 times
past the highest number on the meter's face.  You'll hear a soft 'twang',
followed by a louder 'CLICK'.  Then you'll wonder why the meter has no
needle on it, and then you'll walk over to the other side of the room and
pick up the needle off the floor, and then you'll probably put the needle
in your pocket.  That will end your voltage measurements for that day,
and certainly for that meter. 

Been there.
Done that.

How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance?
san4es73 [151]

Frost will disturb the smooth flow of air over the wing, unpleasantly distressing its lifting competence. In other words, this spoils the even flow of air over the wings, by this means decreasing lifting capability. Also, frost may avoid the airplane from becoming flying at normal departure speed.

A 120 W lightbulb and a 90 W lightbulb each operate at a voltage of 120 V. Part A Which bulb carries more current? Which bulb ca
uysha [10]

Answer:

120 W lightbulb

Explanation:

Let the two lightbulb be A and B respectively.

Given the following data;

Power A = 120W

Power B = 90W

Voltage = 120V

To find the current flowing through each lightbulb;

a. For lightbulb A

Power = current * voltage

120 = current * 120

Current = 120/120

Current = 1 Ampere.

b. For lightbulb B

Current = power/voltage

Current = 90/120

Current = 0.75 Amperes

Therefore, the lightbulb that carries more current is A with 1 Ampere.

Discuss the production, transmission, and usage of electricity in the context of conservation of energy. When electricity is “us
mr Goodwill [35]

There are huge losses in the transmission, production and usage of electricity and the reduction of these losses in order to save electricity is called as conservation of energy.

As per the statistics, there is loss of nearly 4% while the transmission of electricity. Like wise during production also, lot of electricity get wasted due to the inefficient material used. None of the production material nor the equipment used have 100% efficiency and thus there is always a possibility of energy wastage.

When it is said that the energy is wasted , it simply means that the energy production which should have been 100% as per calculation is not completely derived from the source due to the inefficient conversion process. For example, a turbine while rotating must convert 100 % of the water energy or water falling on it into electrical energy but the turbine is not able to do so as some of the water is lost or its energy is lost before conversion while going through the mechanical process.
