How long does a volt last if only given a volt?

Zero time after the supply is diconnected.


Why 250 ohm resistance using for transmitter calibration?

In this situation, to calibrate a transmitter you need a power circuit and communicator circuit. The Hart communicator used in the calibration process is connected to the power source circuit in parallel. The power source circuit is the one that has ammeter, 250 Ohm resistor, and power source all connected in series. As the transmitter sends output mA, it creates volt drop across the 250 Ohm resister. Let's say the volt drop across the resistor was 1 Volt. Now, back to the Hart communicator. It is a load, meaning there will be a volt drop across the Hart communicator. Since it is in parallel with the power circuit, it is also parallel with the resistor. So, the 1 volt drop across the 250 Ohm resistor will also make 1 volt drop across the Hart communicator. Technically speaking, the 1 volt drop across the Hart communicator is only true if its resistor is also 250 Ohm. However, it does NOT matter what voltage drop is in the Hart communcator. It only sees the "relative" voltage drop changes to measure the changes in transmitter outputs.


Can a 120 volt light work on 110 power?

Yes, a 120 volt light can work on a 110 volt power supply without any issues. The difference of 10 volts will not significantly impact the function or performance of the light.


What size resistor is needed to drop 12 volt dc to 3 volt what is the formula?

The "size" (value or the power capacity) of the resistor can not be defined unless the power of the 3 volt bulb is known. If you tell me how many amps would the bulb draw from a 3 volt source, I will tell you exactly how many ohms of resistance, and how many watts of power capacity will be required of the resistor.


How to power a 86 volt light?

You can power an 86 volt light with a power source that outputs 86 volts, such as a specific battery or power supply designed for that voltage. Ensure that the power source can provide enough current to safely operate the light without damaging it.


Will you save buying a 220 volt ac than a 110?

Yes, in the long run. The 220 volt unit will use less power.


How do you turn a head unit on without a car?

Get a charged 12 volt battery hook 12 volt constant/RED to the + on the battery then ground - it should power up.


How can you improve volt-drop?

A: Decreasing the current and/or the resistance


Can a 230 volt operate on 127 volt power?

No.


Can a cellphone charge in car without key in ignition?

It depends on what kind of car you have. Some have power to the 12 volt socket without the key and some do not.


Is power factor defined as volt amps divided by apparent power?

No. The volt ampere (V.A) is the unit of measurement of apparent power. Power factor is true power (expressed in watts) divided by apparent power (expressed in volt amperes).
