DC and AC subject:
1. Consider a wire carrying a current in the presence of a magnetic field, and a given flux density of 0.25 T. If the wire is 1.0 m long and carries a 0.5 A current, what is the magnitude of the force induced in the wire?
2. The wire shown is moving in the presence of a magnetic field. With the information given in the figure, determine the magnitude and direction of the induced voltage in the wire. (see the figure below)
Suppose you want the current through a 1.85 H inductor in series
with a 0.45 \Omega resistor to be reduced to 0.100% of its initial
value. In how much time, in seconds, will this occur after you throw
the switch?
The arc length voltage characteristic of a DC arc is given by the equation V=24+4L where
'V' is the arc voltage in volts and L' is the length in mm. The static volt-ampere
characteristic of the power source is approximated by a straight line with no load voltage of
80V and the short circuit current of 600A. Then the optimum arc length is
(mm).
