Polarity is the direction of electrical charge.
Polarity is a noun that means "having poles or being polar." It can refer to the physical property of having poles and their relative orientation, such as the direction of a magnetic or electric field. It can also refer to the state of having two opposite or contradictory tendencies, opinions, or aspects.

How do appliances work if AC reverses direction?
AC current alternates polarity back-and-forth continually, by definition. Therefore, it is not possible to reverse AC direction. It is DC current that is directional such that when it's polarity is reversed the motor responds by turning in the opposite direction.
What problems are there with reverse polarity?
Reversing polarity ,changes the rotation of the device you are changing polarity on.
What is the polarity of C Cl14?
Its polarity is zero.CCl4 is non polar
How can the degree of polarity be predicted?
The strength of polarity can be determined from looking at the level of polarity an object has. Polar bonds can make objects stronger or weaker.
Why is hydrogen gas less polar than water?
H-H-------That is the depiction of hydrogen gas and, charge aside, where could you fit a definition of polarity, having two different ends, into this depiction.
What is the definition for polarity?
'Polarity' has a number of meanings, generally involving the distinction between positive and negative.
What is polarity definition for kids?
opposites attracting, like a magnet.
How is the polarity of a resistor determined?
Resistors do not have a polarity. BY DEFINITION, a resistor is a device that follows Ohms law, and does so regardless of the polarity in which it is inserted into a circuit. Manufacturers of resistors do all they can to make their resistors follow that definition. One way to make a resistor have no polarity is to build it so that it is mechnically symmetrical about its two leads. Doing so will ensure that it will also be electrically symmetrical, and thus non-polarized
What is an example of polarity?
The definition of Polarity is -The uneven distribution of charges across a molecule -.so examples of polarity would be *water molecule with 2 positive hydrogen atoms and 1 negative oxygen atom *left hand and a right hand *east and west -.it's basically anything that is opposites
What are two examples of polarity?
-- negative polarity -- positive polarity
How does a drawing of polarity water and the bond polarities make a major contribution to the overall molecular polarity look?
The polarity is a vector quantity. The resultant of the polarity of bonds determines the polarity of the molecule. In CO2 there is polarity between the two C-O but the polarity is equal and opposite in direction so CO2 doesn't have polarity. If the polarity of bonds is not cancelled then the polarity remains in the molecule.
Why is a dipole similar to water?
The molecular structure of water allows foræthere to be a positive and a negative region, a dual polarity, which is the very definition of dipole.
Define alternating current definition?
The alternating current refers to the flow of the electric charge periodically and in the opposite direction. The polarity changes with the time..
Is unequal sharing of electrons acidic basic or polarity?
Polarity
How do appliances work if AC reverses direction?
AC current alternates polarity back-and-forth continually, by definition. Therefore, it is not possible to reverse AC direction. It is DC current that is directional such that when it's polarity is reversed the motor responds by turning in the opposite direction.
What is an audio inverter?
it invert the polarity of the in/out of the device. Inverter by definition invert one form to another form of energy [minus loss] so it can be used.
