During the positive half cycle of the supply, diodes D1 and D2 conduct are forward biased and conduct current while diodes D3 and D4 are reverse biased and they act as an open circuit, the current flows through the load.
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
Flux in coil A = 0.05 mWb = 5 × 10−5 wb = φA No. of turns NA = NB = 1000 Flux linkage in a coil with B = Flux linkage in coil A × 80/100 = 0.8 × 5 × 10−5 = 4 × 10−5 wb =0.04 mwb
Sudden changes of load on synchronous motors may sometimes set up oscillations that are superimposed upon the normal rotation, resulting in periodic variations of a very low frequency in speed. This effect is known as hunting or phase-swinging.
