Answer:

Short circuit

Explanation:

An inductor works on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

When a current passes through an inductor, a magnetic field is generated inside it; if the magnitude of this magnetic field changes, then according to Faraday-Newmann-Lenz law, an emf (electromotive force) is induced in the inductor itself, according to:

$\epsilon=-\frac{d\Phi}{dt}$

where $\Phi$ is the magnetic flux linkage through the inductor. Therefore, as a result of this induced emf, a current is also induced in the inductor, and the direction of this current is such that it opposes to the change in magnetic flux linkage.

Therefore, the intensity of this current depends on the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage through the inductor.

If we have a DC (direct current), then the current in the inductor is steady; as a result, its magnetic field is also steady, and therefore, there is no change in magnetic flux, so no induced current. Therefore, the inductor will oppose no resistance to the flow of original current, and so it can be approximated to a short circuit (zero resistance).

Describe how the Rotary Engine works.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Rotary engine was early known by the name of internal combustion engine. It convert heat from a high pressure of combustion. The main advantage of rotary engine is that it can be operate with less number of vibration. It works on the principle of converting pressure into rotating motion. In rotary engine the expansion pressure is applied on the flank rotor.

Solve the problem with conditions if a wall has inner and outer surface temperatures of 16 and 6 C, respectively. The interior a

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Heat flux is 20 W/m^2

Explanation:

Heat flux (Q) is computed as

$Q = h \, \Delta T$

where h is heat transfer coefficient and ΔT is the difference between body's temperature

From the interior air to the inner wall

$Q = 5 \frac{W}{m^2 K} \, 4 K$

$Q = 20 \frac{W}{m^2}$

From the the outer wall to the exterior air

$Q = 20 \frac{W}{m^2 K} \, 1 K$

$Q = 20 \frac{W}{m^2}$

The wall is under steady-state condition because heat flux is constant

Which of the following is not a relationship set between elements in a sketch

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The entity relationship (ER) data model has existed for over 35 years. It is well suited to data modelling for use with databases because it is fairly abstract and is easy to discuss and explain. ER models are readily translated to relations. ER models, also called an ER schema, are represented by ER diagrams.
