The factor by which, the induced E.M.F gets reduced due to short pitching is called pitch factor or coil span factor denoted by Kc. It is given as Kc = cosα/2 given α = 60° Kc = cos60/2 Kc = cos30° Kc = √3/2
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
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.
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.
