When two solid surfaces are brought into contact, a finite normal force is needed to pull the two solids apart. This force is known as the force of adhesion or simply adhesion. The coefficient of adhesion () defined as the ratio of tractive effort required to propel the wheel of a locomotive to its adhesive weight. Adhesion traction is the friction between the drive wheels and the steel rail. µ = Ft/W Where Ft = Tractive effort W = Adhesive Weight
The average value of the sine wave over one complete cycle is actually zero. Hence, for a sine wave, the average value is defined over half the period. The average value expressed in terms of peak value is given by Average value = 0.637 × peak value
Total resistance in the given circuit R = (250 + 250)MΩ = 500 MΩ Current I = V/R = 24/(500 × 103) Now the Voltage in the voltmeter = \dfrac{{24}}{{500 \times {{10}^3}}} \times 250 \times {10^3} V = 12 V
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
The reluctance of any part of a magnetic circuit may be defined as the ratio of the drop in magnetomotive force to the flux produced in that part of the circuit. It is measured in ampere-turns/Weber and is denoted by S. Reluctance = m.m.f ⁄ flux
