Constantin‘, also known as ‘Eureka wire‘, is the trade-name for a copper-nickel alloy (approx. 60:40 ratio) formulated in the late 1800s by Edward Weston.
Ripple factor: The output of the rectifier is of pulsating d.c. type. The amount of a.c. content in the output can be mathematically expressed by a factor called the ripple factor (γ). The ripple factor expresses how much successful the circuit is, in obtaining pure d.c from a.c. input. Less is the ripple factor, better is the performance of the circuit. Ripple Factor γ = R.M.S value of a.c component of output ⁄ Average or d.c component of the output
Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
Mutual inductance between two coupled coils is given by the relation M = K√L1L2 Where L1L2 = Inductance of the coil K = Coefficient of coupling When K = 1 coils are said to be tightly coupled and if K is a fraction the coils are said to be loosely coupled. Here Kmax =1 Kmin =0 ∴ m ≤ (L1 L2 )0.5
