Answer:
Commutator is a ring which reverse the direction of current in AC circuit so that the coil connected to it will continuous to move in the same direction.
Explanation:
In motors there exist a coil which is rotated due to torque of magnetic field when current flow through it. Since AC current is used to run the motor so we know that AC current changes its direction after half cycle.
So here commutator plays an important role to reverse the direction of current after every half cycle so that the current goes in same direction always into the coil.
This will produce a constant direction torque on the coil so that it will rotate in same sense always.
So commutator role is to provide same direction current to the coil by reversing its direction after every half cycle
B) not work ,because the water would freeze
Answer:
Explanation:
Work done by the spring is negative .
Work done by force F creating displacement d is given by the following expression .
Work = F x d
Both force and displacement are vector quantity .
When direction of force and direction of displacement is same , work is positive . When direction of force and direction of displacement is opposite , work is negative .
When spring is compressed , it exerts a restoring or opposing force in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of box . Hence here force is opposite to displacement . Restoring force acts opposite to displacement . Hence work done by spring on box is negative .
