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.
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 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
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
By the term, torque is meant the turning or twisting moment of a force about an axis. It is measured by the product of the force and the radius at which this force acts. Consider a pulley of radius r meter acted upon by a circumferential force of F Newton which causes it to rotate at N r.p.m. The angular speed of the pulley is ω = 2πN/60 rad/sec Work is done by this force in one revolution = Force × distance = F × 2πR Joule The power developed = Work Done/Time = (F × 2πR)/60/N = (F × R) × (2πN)/60 The power developed = T × ω watt or P = T ω Watt pmech = (ωT)
