Electric fuse and a Circuit breaker contains?

Fuses and Circuit Breakers (CB) are used for the protection of power system. These along with other protective equipment like relays, isolater, switches, are collectively called as switchgear(switching equipment used in power systems).

The basic function is to break the circuit in case of faulty conditions so as to protect the power system equipment and auxiliaries.

FUSE is a low resistance device which is placed in the circuit for protection. Under faulty conditions when the current becomes more than the desired value, then due to the increase in temperature the fuse wire melts and breaks, thus breaking the circuit. These are used for lower power ratings and can be used only once, after that it has to be replaced with a new one.

CIRCUIT BREAKER also solves the same purpose i.e. it breaks the circuit when the fault occurs. These are used for large ratings and in the power systems and auxiliaries. CB also has the capability to re-close after the fault is through i.e. when the system gets healthy. The CB has two parts/contacts one is static and the other is moving(the one responsible for making or breaking the contacts).When the contacts of CB separate, then it said to have tripped. Tripping of the circuit breaker has to be very fast so as to avoid the arc formation between the two contacts, otherwise it will defeat the purpose of installing the CB. The trip signal is given to the CB by an other protective device called as an ELECTRICAL RELAY. CB’s are categorized on the basis of the power ratings and the medium used to extinguish the arc formed during the breaking of the contacts.

Electric fuse and a Circuit breaker both contain ways to interrupt the flow of electricity.

Hope this helps!

- A capacitor's dielectric material is a vacuum. The capacitor's dielectric constant, or K, will be equal to

dlinn [17]

If a capacitor's dielectric constant is vacuum its dielectric constant is k will be equal to 1.

Explanation:

Relative permittivity of a dielectric substance is referred to as its dielectric constant. Relative permittivity/dielectric constant k is a dimensionless quantity that is the ratio of absolute permittivity and vacuum permittivity.

It is given by the expression

k=k=ε /ε0

where ε denotes absolute permittivity and ε0 denotes permittivity of vacuuum.

Absolute permittivity ε of vacuum= ε0

therefore k= ε0/ ε0=1

dielectric constant of vacuum is 1 .

Ms.Hidalgo opens the door to her classroom. Her classroom is 60 degrees and the air outside is 80. Predict what will happen usin

Volgvan

Heat will always flow from High temperature to low temperature

here we know that the temperature inside the room is 60 degree while out side temperature is 80 degree

so the flow of heat is from outside to inside the room as heat flow is always from higher temperature to lower temperature

So after some time due to heat flow from outside the temperature of room will increase

And after long time the temperature of room and outside will be same and heat transfer will become in equilibrium

a student standing in an elevator at rest notices that her pendulum has a frequency of oscillation of 0.5 Hz. a. what is the len

EastWind [94]

Answer:

L = 0.99 m = 99 cm

Explanation:

The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

T = 1/0.5 = 2.0 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = g(T/2π)²

L = 9.8(2.0/2π)² = 0.99 m

If the system accelerates upward, it will cause the apparent gravity to increase. This will require a longer pendulum to keep the same period, or shorten the period if the length remains the same. This shows up in the equation where the product of gravity and the square of the period must remain constant for the length to remain constant.

Find equation tangent to a circle at given point

vlabodo [156]

the equation of the tangent line must be passed on a point A (a,b) and perpendicular to the radius of the circle. 
I will take an example for a clear explanation:
let x² + y² = 4 is the equation of the circle, its center is C(0,0). And we assume that the tangent line passes to the point A(2.3).

since the tangent passes to the A(2,3), the line must be perpendicular to the radius of the circle.

Let's find the equation of the line parallel to the radius.

The line passes to the A(2,3) and C (0,0). y= ax+b is the standard form of the equation. AC(-2, -3) is a vector parallel to CM(x, y).

det(AC, CM)= -2y +3x =0, is the equation of the line // to the radius.

let's find the equation of the line perpendicular to this previous line.

let M a point which lies on the line. so MA.AC=0 (scalar product),

it is (2-x, 3-y) . (-2, -3)= -4+4x + -9+3y=4x +3y -13=0 is the equation of tangent
