In parallel electrical circuits, the voltage across each resistor is the same since each path is connected to the same voltage source. Select the correct statement. A. in each parallel path the resistance must be equalized to create equal voltage. B. the current flowing in each parallel path must be the same as the voltage. C. the current flowing in each parallel path depends on the resistance in each path D. the current flowing in each parallel path depends on the capacitance in each path correct answersC. the current flowing in each parallel path depends on the resistance in each path The duty cycle of a welding power supply is based upon delivering its rated output for a given number of minutes. Which of the following statements is correct. A. a 300 amp/60% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 300 amps for 6 minutes in a ten minute period B. a 300 amp/30% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 300 amps in a ten minute period C. a 250 amp/30% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 250 amps for 30 minutes separated by 10 minutes at rest D. a 300 amp/60% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 500 amps maximum for 6 minutes in a ten minute period correct answersA. a 300 amp/60% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 300 amps for 6 minutes in a ten minute period Conventional transformer-rectifiers; A. convert direct current into alternating current B. convert alternating current into direct current C. convert alternating current into pulsed current D. convert direct current into pulsed current correct answersB. convert alternating current into direct current A conventional diode placed in a circuit allows the passage of current in one direction only. A silicon controlled rectifier(SCR) operates slightly differently. How does it work?
