Equivalent resistance of the circuit, Req = (12||18) + 8 Req = 7.2 + 8 Req = 15.2 ohm Source current = current through 8 ohm resistor, I = Vr/R8 I = 20/8 I = 2.5 A Supply votage V = I*Req V = 2.5*15.2 V = 38 V
The relation between electric intensity E, voltage applied V and the distance d between the plates of a parallel plate condenser is given by: V = E*L E = V/L
A thermopile is an electronic device that converts thermal energy into electrical energy. It is composed of several thermocouples connected usually in series or less commonly, in parallel. Thermopiles are used for contactless temperature sensing. The function of a thermopile is to transfer the heat radiation emitted from the object to a voltage output. The output is in the range of tens or hundreds of millivolts.
The neutral point of a generator is usually earthed to facilitate protection of the stator winding and associated system. Earthing also prevents damaging transient overvoltages in the event of an arcing earth fault or ferro resonance. For HV generators, impedance is usually inserted in the stator earthing connection to limit the magnitude of earth fault current.
