Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
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)
Ripple factor: The output of the rectifier is of pulsating d.c. type. The amount of a.c. content in the output can be mathematically expressed by a factor called the ripple factor (γ). The ripple factor expresses how much successful the circuit is, in obtaining pure d.c from a.c. input. Less is the ripple factor, better is the performance of the circuit. Ripple Factor γ = R.M.S value of a.c component of output ⁄ Average or d.c component of the output
