In electrical engineering, the power factor of an AC electrical power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit ” R/Z”.
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
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
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.
