A choke coil is simply a coil having a large inductance, but a small resistance. A device that can regulate the current in an A.C. circuit without much loss of energy is called as ‘choke coil’.
The maximum power transfer theorem states that the DC voltage source will deliver maximum power to the variable-load resistor only when the load resistance is equal to the source resistance. Similarly, this theorem states that the AC voltage source will deliver maximum power to the variable complex load only when the load impedance is equal to the complex conjugate of the source impedance. Hence when Ri = RL the transfer of power will be maximum.
In the PMMC type instrument, the deflection is directly proportional to the current flowing through the instrument, we get a uniform scale for the instrument. It gives a uniform scale of upto 270° or more. Td ∝ I
In nuclear power plant the graphite is used as a moderator. The job of the moderator is to absorb some of the kinetic energy of the neutrons to slow them down. This is because slow neutrons are more easily absorbed by uranium-235. A neutron slowed In this way can start the fission process.
