Krakin Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Voltage has a higher potential on the positive terminal, if you cut off the highest potential then you are left with ground (most of the time 0 volts) and a floating node with the voltage of whatever air is. 4 Quote Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

Smoove Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 With electrons flowing from - to + why then would power leads fused on the positive run? Because it is closest to the voltage source. Closer because it's on the return path? These were the kind of questions I was hoping would get answered. "Voltage has a higher potential on the positive terminal, if you cut off the highest potential then you are left with ground (most of the time 0 volts) and a floating node with the voltage of whatever air is." If cueernt is Neg to pos. Why is does the POS have the highest potential? 1 Quote 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Because electrons have a negative charge. This is where it gets complicated explaining the different philosophies of electricity. You have the Benjamin Franklin way which is using current. Current flows from positive to negative. Thinking along the lines of positive being a higher number, but was later to be found out to be wrong. Then you have the chemical/physics philosophy. This method uses electron flow. Electron flow is the literal path of the electrons moving through the circuit. The most common way that I have experienced electrical engineers use is the Benjamin Franklin method updated with modern findings. Edit: To clearly state definitions. Current will always be positive to negative. Electron flow will always be negative to positive.

Krakin Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) For anyone that wants to better understand electricity, should be every single person on this forum if you want to be the one plugging in that amp. These are maybe the best books I've seen for introducing the very basics of electricity. These also encompass a little more than about two semesters of my electrical engineering degree without the bullshit it is having to go through the acedemic system. You will need to read the DC electronics book before the AC book, because if you don't understand DC you will not understand AC.

If cueernt is Neg to pos. Why is does the POS have the highest potential? If i had to guess, which i totally am doing here The + has the higher potential because it is just that, potential energy where as the ground exists throughout the vehicle and is trying to feed the current/complete the circuit to/with the opposite charge. Not a clue if i'm right with thinking like that though.

snafu Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Electron Theory states that current flows from negative to positive. Conventional Theory states that current flows from positive to negative. It matters not where the fuse is placed within the circuit, as long as it's within the circuit. Now having said that, consider that we typically fuse runs from the battery positive terminal within a reasonable distance from the battery. Why? Simple - to protect the battery from a dead short. If we put the fuse on the ground lead of the amplifier in the trunk, the amplifier still has the same protection but the battery has none. Fusing near the battery protects both with a single fuse. 2 Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!

DubNDodge Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 So you can fuse either side of the amp, and it will give equal protection to the amp?

snafu Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Correct. Chapter 1 of my book Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems covers Ohm's Law and Kirchoff's Law in-depth. Learn these Laws! Being a car audio die-hard and not understanding these laws is kind of like building a house first and then the foundation second. 2 Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!
