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.

ivann1987 [24]
<span>It stores energy and delivers it in a short burst.

The whirring sound is produced by the charging of the capacitor. A capacitor is an electrical component which is capable of storing charge. When the capacitor stores charge, it is storing energy. After doing so, the capacitor releases the electrical energy that it had stored as light energy, which is seen as the flash of the camera. It must do so in a burst, because the intensity of the flash is very high and would require a high amount of energy to maintain.

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V

Now,

Drift velocity, v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}

v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta                            (1)

And

E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d

Thus eqn (1) becomes

V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta

where

d = distance

B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}                      (2)

(a) When \theta = 90^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T

(b) When \theta = 60^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T
