A DC motor can be operated from a single-phase AC supply. The direction of the torque produced by a DC machine is determined by the direction of current flow in the armature conductors and by the polarity of the field. Torque is developed in a DC machine because the commutator arrangement permits the field and armature currents to remain in phase, thus producing torque in a constant direction. A similar result can be obtained by using an AC supply, and by connecting the armature and field windings in series.
A choke coil is simply a coil having a large inductance, but a small resistance. A device that can regulate the current in an A.C. circuit without much loss of energy is called as ‘choke coil’.
Condenser – Condenser is a heat exchanger in which cooling water is circulated through the tubes. The exhaust steam from the turbine enters the condenser where it is cooled and converted to condensate (water).
The stroboscopic effect is a visual phenomenon that happens when a blinking light source glows an object in movement, generating a sequence of samples. The stroboscopic effect is based on Illuminance hence it is not related to the transmission and distribution of electric power.
The combined inductance of two coils connected in series L = L1 + L2 + 2M In series adding case L1 + L2 + 2M = 0.6 H ——–(1) In series opposing case L1 + L2 − 2M = 0.1 H ——–(2) Subtracting eqn (2) from eqn (1) we get 4M = 0.5 H M = 0.125 H Let L1 = 0.2 H (since the coil when isolated, its self-inductance is 0.2 H) Putting the value of M & L1 in equation (2) 0.2 + L2 + 2 ×0.125 = 0.06 0.2 + L2 = 0.35 L2 = 0.15 H
Phosphorus (P) has 15 electron i.e 2,8,5. Hence the number of electron in its outermost orbit is 5. Silicon (Si) has 14 electron i.e 2,8,4. Hence the number of electrons in its outermost orbit is 4.
