Q

explain why measuring the speed at the edge of the wheel is a poor way to represent its motion

A

depending on the distance to the COR the object it’s velocity changes .

Angular velocity is constant everywhere on a wheel - better way of representing motion

Q

What is Force

What is Torque

A

When a force is applied to an object, an acceleration is induced
F=Ma

Torque is produced when a force exerts a twisting moment on an object
T=Fr
(r= distance from force to axis of rotation - perpendicular distance)

Q

What is Mechanical Work

How do you calculate Mechanical work

What is power

How do you calculate Power

A

Mechanical work is done when a force moves an object a distance

W=Fd or W = 2piTorque (d=2pir & F=T/R )

Power is the rate of which work is done

P= W/t or P = 2piT/t

Q

What is remanence

A

the residual magnetic field density that remains when the magnetic field intensity drops to zero after it has reached saturation

Q

what is magnetic saturation

A

where magnetic flux density reaches a maximum for increasing values of magnetic field intensity H

27
Q

Evaluate the performance of a tranformers for the following two materials using their magnetisation curves

A

Hard materials are difficult to magnetise and remagnetise

Soft materials are easy to magnetise and remagnetise

A transformer core needs to magnetise and demagnetise rapidly
Hence a soft material would be better suited with a skinnier hysteresis , less hysteresis loss

Q

what’s the difference between a thyristor and a diode

A

Diode:

Allows one-way current flow.

Two terminals: anode and cathode.

Commonly used in rectification and protection.

Thyristor:

Acts as a switch controlling high voltage/current.

Three terminals: anode, cathode, gate.

Current pulse applied to gate, acts like a switch -unlike a transistor it the size of the base current doesn’t regulate the conductivity between the collector and emitter.

Used in power control and switching applications.
