A P-N junction acts as a voltage-controlled switch. During forward biasied the p-n junction diode acts like an ON switch. When reverse biased, it acts like an OFF switch.
Atoms or ions with unpaired electrons are attracted to a magnetic field; the more unpaired electrons, the greater is the attraction. Such substances are called paramagnetic. Molecular oxygen is a paramagnetic gas by virtue of its two unpaired electrons.
The resistivity of iron at 20°C is 9.71 × 108 The resistivity of silver at 20°C is 1.59 × 108 The resistivity of Glass at 20°C is 1.10 × 109 The resistivity of nichrome at 20°C is 100 × 108 Hence silver is the least resistive material in the given option.
The melting point of Eureka is 1221 to 1300 °C The melting point of Kanthal is 1,425 °C The melting point of Nichrome is 1400 °C The melting point of Graphite is 3,600°C Hence Eureka has the least range of temperature.
Lap Winding:-In a lap winding the number of parallel paths (a) is always equal to the number of poles (p) and also to the number of brushes. In the given question number of poles is 4 hence the number of brushes will be 4. Wave Winding:- In wave windings, the number of parallel paths (a) is always two and there may be two or more brush positions.
We use universal motors in mixer grinders. Universal motors can run both on a.c. and d.c. The universal motor works on the same principle that DC series motor works. DC series motor has the characteristics of operating at high-speed when there is no load and operating at low-speed when the load is applied. It has high starting torque characteristics. So it is used in mixers, where initially we put some load at starting.
