  1. Inductors and Suddenly Opening circuit | All About Circuits

    Feb 28, 2015 · I know capacitors can store charge, and when disconnected from a circuit they hold onto that charge. I know inductors store energy in their magnetic field, generated by current flowing …

  2. Current Transformer danger when secondary is left open

    Sep 21, 2014 · If the primary source generating the current is 110V then the secondary peak voltage will rise to 110V x 100 x 1.4 = 15,400V which is obviously a very dangerous voltage and will likely arc …

  3. What actually mean OL - All About Circuits

    Apr 28, 2023 · How most ohmmeters work is by applying a voltage to the resistor and measuring the resistance (or applying a current and measuring the voltage). In either case, the capacitor will initially …

  4. Effect of open on parallel circuit - All About Circuits

    Oct 11, 2014 · I'm trying to understand the answer to 2 questions involving this circuit (attached) Q. 1 and the answer say: if R3 opens the voltage across it will decrease. Q. 2 and the answer say: if R1 …

  5. Voltage across an open switch - All About Circuits

    Jun 8, 2009 · The voltage across an open switch will be the same as the circuit Vcc. The voltage across a closed switch will be zero volt (or close to zero) depending on the internal resistance of the switch …

  6. reflection coefficient +1 and -1 for open and short - All About Circuits

    Jun 19, 2012 · could someone please explain to me why reflection coefficient of +1 is the result of a open circuit and why reflection coefficient of -1 is the result of a short circuit? I am reading that it has …

  7. Testing Open circuits - All About Circuits

    May 22, 2008 · How do you troubleshoot,check or test open circuits? I know you use continiuity to test,check or troubleshoot shorts to ground or VCC to ground but what about testing for open circuits …

  8. Testing blown open circuit speakers with multimeter

    Nov 15, 2020 · I need to test the speaks on my car from the connector just behind the radio. I would like to test if any of them are blown. If speakers were blown then would I get a certain ohm reading …

  9. Open Drain circuit - All About Circuits

    May 18, 2020 · The open collector/open drain pin will sink current into GND. If the pin is not capable of sinking the desired load current then you resort to an external driver transistor such as 2N7000 as …

  10. AC current in open circuit - All About Circuits

    Oct 1, 2024 · But there IS a complete circuit -- there is a capacitor connecting the two ends of the wire, so AC current CAN flow. But this capacitor is so small that the frequency would have to be extremely …
