Line Resistance in Transmission Line  :- ๐Ÿ‘‰Every electric conductor oppose the flow of current in it ,this is known as resistance. ๐Ÿ‘‰The power loss (I^2R) in the transmission line occurs due to this resistance. ๐Ÿ‘‰The ohmic resistance R of a conductor of length ' l ' and uniform cross sectional area 'a',                                  R= ฯl/a  Where, R=Total resistance in Transmission Line, ฯ=Resistivity or specific resistance of conductor material , l=Length of the conductor, a= Area of cross section, ๐Ÿ‘‰The Resistivity or specific resistance of the conductor is depends not only on the conductor material but also it's temperature. ๐Ÿ‘‰For example ,if ฯ₁ and ฯ₂ are the values of resistivity at different temperatures t₁ and t₂ ,then ฯ₂=ฯ₁{1+ฮฑ(t₂-t₁)} Where, a = Temparature coefficient of resistance of the material. ๐Ÿ‘‰The value of the temparature coefficient of resistance i...

Difference between Node and Junction

Difference between Node and Junction :-   1)NODE:-    A point at which two or more elements are joints together is called node.    2)JUNCTION:-      While a point   where three or more        branches  meet   together  is  called   a junction.                   In the below figure we can say that points  a,b,c,d,e  and  f  are  nodes     and point  c &  f  are  called   junction.  While point c & f itself a node. Nodes -> a,b,c,d,e,f Junctions ->c,f  By observing above node and junction we can say that,  every junction becomes a node but every node not becomes a junction. ● SHARE IT

Q. In direct current , the phase angle between voltage and current is (A) 90° (B) 0° Explanation :-  The power in the DC is                  P = V × I Now we have to know about the phase angle between voltage and current , then the the power in the AC is P = V × I cos ( ฮฆ)  When  ฮฆ= 90° :- i .e.,        P = V × I (cos 90°)                P = V × I ( 0)                P = 0 Watts When  ฮฆ= 0° :- i.e.,     P = V × I (cos 0°)            P = V × I (1)            P  = VI So  , the phase angle between voltage and current is 0 °.

Q. What is the current through the 8 ohms resistance connected across terminals M and N in the circuit as shown in below figure. A)0.34 A from M to N. B)0.29 A from M to N. C)0.29 A from N to M. D)0.34 A from N to M. Solution :- We have to redraw the circuit as shown in below figure  Apply KCL at node Vo,we get  ((Vo+8)/12)+(Vo/8)+((Vo+2)/8)=0 (Vo/12)+(Vo/8)+(Vo/8)= - [(8÷12)+(2÷8)] Vo[(1/12)+(1/8)+(1/8)]= - 0.916 => Vo(0.333)= - 0.916 => Vo =  - (0.916÷0.333) =>  Vo = -(2.75). Volts Vo is the voltage across M and N , Current I at the 8 ohms resistor is, I = Vo/ Resistance at 8 ohms I=(-2.75)÷8 I= - 0.34 Amperes The current between M and N is - 0.34  Amperes  Now we have to interchange the terminals we can get positive current . i.e., the current 0.34 A current flows from terminal N to terminal M .

What is Resistance ?

Image
   Resistor is a fundamental passive element. The  resistor  is  a circuit  component whose principle  property is  to oppose  the flow of current  through  it . Resistance  is represented by the letter "R". The symbol of the resistance is shown in below figure. Units for resistance is shown in below figure           A conductor is said to have resistance of  1  ohm , if   it  permits  one  Ampere   of current  to flow  through  it when  1 Volt is applied  across  it's  terminals.                 For conductors such as metals ,the resistance  is  very  low . This  is  due to the presence  of  free  electrons  in their atoms. For insulators  the  resistance  is very  high and for  semiconductors  ...
