Transformer

<u>Explanation:</u>

A transformer is a device with two or more magnetically coupled windings. A time varying current in one coil (primary winding) generates a magnetic field which induces a voltage in the other coil (secondary winding). Transformers are capable of either increasing or decreasing the voltage and current levels of their supply, without modifying its frequency, or the amount of electrical power being transferred from one winding to another via the magnetic circuit. There are two types of transformer:

1. Step up transformer - increases voltage

2. Step down transformer - decreases voltage

A man supports himself and the uniform horizontal beam pulling the rope with a force T.The weights of men and the beam are 883 N

artcher [175]

Answer:

T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

Explanation:

The computation of the tension T in the rope and the forces exerted by the pin at A is shown below:

vertical forces sum = Ay + Tsin20 + T - 245 - 883 = 0

Now

horizontal forces sum = Ax - Tcos70

Now Moment about B

-Ay × 4.8 + 245 × 2.4 + 883 × 1.8=0

Ay=453.6N

Now substitute in sum of vertical forces T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

Often times we think about insulation, we think about keeping cold items cold, such as drinks in an ice chest or the cool temper

Burka [1]

Answer:

So, insulation essentially works by creating a sort of barrier between the hot and the cold object. This barrier helps to reduce heat transfer by either reflecting the thermal radiation or by decreasing thermal conduction and convection from one object to the other.
