Ohm's law states that, under constant physical conditions and conductor temperature, the current

flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its ends..Ohm's
Law states that the current (I) passing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional
to the voltage (V) across the two points, provided the temperature and other physical conditions remain
constant. It can be written as:..V = I \times R..Where:.. is the voltage (in volts),.. is the current (in
amperes),.. is the resistance (in ohms)...So, if the voltage increases, the current also increases, as long as
the resistance stays the same.

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL):Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the total current entering a junction or
node in an electrical circuit is equal to the total current leaving the junction. This is based on the
principle of conservation of charge, meaning no charge is lost. Mathematically, for any node:\sum I_{\
text{in}} = \sum I_{\text{out}}Kirchhoff's Voltage Law

(KVL):Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that the sum of the electromotive forces (EMF) and potential
differences (voltage drops) around any closed loop or mesh in a circuit is equal to zero. In other words,
the total voltage around a closed loop is zero. This is based on the conservation of energy.
Mathematically, for any closed loop:.....sum V = [Link], the sum of all voltages in a loop, considering their
polarity, equals zero.

Mesh Analysis focuses on finding unknown loop currents using [Link] analysis (or loop analysis) is a
method used in circuit analysis to find the current circulating around loops in a planar circuit using
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL). A planar circuit is one that can be drawn on a plane without crossing
[Link] for Mesh Analysis:1. Identify Meshes: A mesh is a loop that does not contain any other
loopsApply KVL: Write KVL equations for each mesh. For each loop, ..... Solve the Equations: If there are
multiple meshes,

Nodal Analysis focuses on finding unknown node voltages using [Link] methods can be used for
different types of circuits, but nodal analysis is often easier when there are multiple voltage sources,
while mesh analysis is simpler when there are fewer voltage sources but multiple loops.

Active Power (P) ...Active power, also known as real power or true power, is the actual power consumed
by electrical equipment to perform useful work, such as running motors, lighting, or heating. It is the
power that is converted into heat, motion, or other forms of energy.

Reactive Power (Q)Reactive power is the power that oscillates back and forth between the source and
reactive components (like inductors and capacitors) in an AC circuit. It doesn’t do any real work but is
necessary to maintain the voltage levels in the system.

Apparent Power (S).Apparent power is the total power supplied to the circuit, including both active and
reactive power. It represents the combination of the two and is the product of the circuit's current and
voltage without considering the phase angle.

Power Factor (PF) is a measure of how efficiently electrical power is being used in a circuit. It is the ratio
of active power (real power) to apparent power, and it indicates how much of the electrical power is
being effectively converted into useful work. A higher power factor means that more of the power is
being used efficiently, while a lower power factor indicates inefficiency due to reactive power

applications where lower voltages are required for safety or long-distance transmission, such as in high-

weis connected to a common point called the neutral point, and the other ends are connected to the

Statically Induced EMF:..Cause: This occurs when a changing magnetic field is applied to a stationary
conductor. The magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the conductor even though the
conductor itself is not moving...Example: This is the principle behind transformers, where alternating
current (AC) in the primary coil creates a changing magnetic field, which induces EMF in the secondary
coil....Faraday's Law: The induced EMF is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through
the coil.

Dynamically Induced EMF:.Cause: This occurs when a conductor moves through a magnetic field. The
motion of the conductor through the magnetic field lines causes an EMF to be generated...Example: This
is the principle behind generators, where a rotating coil in a magnetic field induces EMF. The
conductor's motion through the magnetic field lines causes the voltage to be generated...Faraday’s Law:
The induced EMF depends on the velocity of the conductor, the magnetic field strength, and the angle
between the motion and the magnetic field........Key Differences:Motion: Statically induced EMF
happens without motion of the conductor, whereas dynamically induced EMF requires the conductor to
move through the magnetic [Link]: Transformers use statically induced EMF, while
generators and alternators use dynamically induced EMF.

The principle of a transformer is the mutual induction between two coils. That is, when an electric
current passing through a coil changes with time, an emf is induced in the neighbouring coil.1. If the
primary coil is connected to a source of alternating voltage, an alternating magnetic flux is set up in the
laminated core.2. If there is no magnetic flux leakage, then the whole magnetic flux linked with primary

transformer losses are known as resistive, eddy, hysteresis, and flux losses. .Resistive Loss1The
resistance of the transformer's windings causes resistive loss (12R), or copper loss, which is a type of
electrical breakdown. The current flowing through the resistive material produces heat, which is then
dissipated. As a result, the resistive loss is inversely proportional to the current flowing through the
transformer. 2Eddy Currents...4Eddy current losses occur when a transformer's metallic core produces
magnetic fields. These magnetic fields induce currents in the core that flow in the opposite direction of
the primary current. These eddy currents produce heat that can damage the system if not
removed.......2,Hysteresis..Hysteresis is caused by the magnetism that stays in the material even after
removing the source of the magnetic field. In the case of transformers, this magnetism is induced by the
alternating current flowing in the primary winding. Therefore, the hysteresis losses are proportional to
the square of the magnetizing current.

Three-phase induction motors are widely used in various industrial and commercial applications due to
their robustness, efficiency, and simplicity. Here are some common applications:1. Industrial Machinery:
These motors power conveyor belts, compressors, and pumps in factories, enabling automation in
industries like manufacturing, mining, and oil & gas.2. HVAC Systems: They are used in heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning systems, driving fans, blowers, and compressors to control temperature
and airflow.

Single-phase induction motors are commonly used in applications where lower power is required,
typically in residential or light commercial environments. Some key applications include:1. Household
Appliances: They power devices like refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, fans, and vacuum
cleaners, where efficiency and reliability are essential.2. Small Pumps: Single-phase induction motors are
used in small water pumps, such as those for household water supply, drainage, or garden irrigation
systems.

Thevenin equivalent circuit is depicted in the diagram. Here, multiple resistive circuit components are
substituted by a single equivalent resistance Rs and numerous energy outputs by an equivalent voltage
source ..Thevenin’s Theorem shows that it is possible to simplify any linear electric circuit to an
equivalent electric circuit with one voltage source and series resistance, no matter how complicated the
circuit is. ..Circuit analysis of power systems is done using Thevenin’s [Link] of Thevenin’s
Theorem?Thevenin’s Theorem can only be used in linear circuits analysis. Thevenin’s Theorem is not
applicable in electrical circuits with magnetic coupling among the load, and any other circuit component.

Norton's theorem is a simplification technique that reduces a linear circuit to an equivalent circuit with a
single current source and a parallel resistance. This equivalent circuit is easier to analyze than the
original circuit. ...Norton's theorem is used in direct-current circuit theory and can be applied to
networks with linear time-invariant resistances, voltage sources, and current sources. It's credited to
Edward Lawry Norton and Hans Ferdinand Mayer, who independently derived it in 1926. ..Here are the
steps for calculating the Norton equivalent circuit:...Remove the load resistor and replace it with a short
circuit...Calculate the Norton current..Replace the power sources...Calculate the Norton
resistance..Draw the Norton equivalent circuit

Superposition Theorem?..The superposition theorem is a circuit analysis theorem used to solve the
network where two or more sources are present and connected....Superposition theorem states the
following:In any linear and bilateral network or circuit having multiple independent sources, the
response of an element will be equal to the algebraic sum of the responses of that element by
considering one source at a time.”To calculate the individual contribution of each source in a circuit, the
other source must be replaced or removed without affecting the final result. This is done by replacing
the voltage source with a short circuit. While removing a voltage source, its value is set to zero. When
removing a current source, its value is set to infinite. This is done by replacing the current source with an
open circuit.

Eddy Current DefinitionInduced electromotive force is produced in the coil when there is a change in the
magnetic flux linked with that coil. Eddy currents are named so because the current looks like eddies or
whirlpools. When a conductor is placed in the changing magnetic field, the induced current in the
conductor is termed as Eddy current. We can define it as:Eddy currents are loops of electrical current
induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday’s law of
induction. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes perpendicular to the magnetic
field.
Earthing, also known as grounding, refers to the process of connecting electrical equipment and
installations to the Earth’s conductive surface. It involves establishing a direct connection between the
electrical system and the ground, creating a safe pathway for excess electrical energy to dissipate
harmlessly.

Superposition Theorem The strategy used in the superposition theorem is to eliminate all but one
source of power within a network at a time. Then, we use series and parallel circuit analysis techniques
to determine voltage drops and currents within the modified network for each power source separately.

is a type of fuse that can handle high fault currents and has a high breaking capacity without exploding
or damaging nearby equipment. It is widely used in industrial applications.

i) Magnetic Fringing EffectDefinition: Magnetic fringing occurs when the magnetic flux lines spread out
or bulge at the air gap in a magnetic circuit..Explanation: Since air has low permeability compared to the

Nope, you haven’t asked these specific terms yet — so here are the definitions:

i) Luminous FluxDefinition: The total amount of visible light emitted by a source per [Link]: Lumen
(lm)

ii) Luminous IntensityNow this one’s not just about total light — it’s about how strong the light is in one
direction. Like when a flashlight beams straight — that beam has intensity. It's measured in candela. So
if your light’s focused and strong in one spot, that’s this.
iii) Luminous EfficiencyDefinition: The ratio of luminous flux (in lumens) to the power input (in watts). It
indicates how efficiently a light source converts electrical energy to visible light.

Unit: Lumens per watt (lm/W)iv) Candle PowerDefinition: An older term for luminous intensity in a
specific direction, now replaced by candela (cd).1 candle power = 1 candela

v) IlluminationDefinition: The amount of luminous flux falling on a surface per unit [Link]: Lux
(lx)Formula:E = \frac{\Phi}{A}

i) Luminous EfficiencyThis is basically: “How good is your light at converting electricity into visible light?”
The better the efficiency, the less energy wasted. It’s measured in lumens per watt. I like to think of it as
how smart or hard-working your light is.

iv) Candle PowerThis one’s kinda old school — like the vintage version of “candela.” So if someone says
“candle power,” they mean how intense the light is in a direction, just like luminous intensity. 1 candle
power = 1 candela.

v) IlluminationNow this is all about how much light actually lands on a surface — like how well-lit your
desk or a room is. It’s measured in lux. It's that cozy, warm feel when your room's nicely lit — not just
how bright the bulb is, but how it actually reaches you.

###### Varignon’s TheoremStatementThe moment (aka turning effect) of a force about a point is equal
to the sum of the moments of its components about the same point......Or simply:> Break a force into
parts → find moments of those parts → add ‘em up → same as moment of full force.

Imagine you’re pushing a door — you can either push with one force directly or split that force into two
parts (like X and Y directions). .Now, no matter how you break it down, the total twist (moment) you
create on the door stays the [Link] Varignon is basically saying:> “Yo, you can split that force however
you like, but the final twist stays loyal.”

Varignon’s TheoremStatement:The moment of a force about a point is equal to the sum of the moments
of its horizontal and vertical components about the same [Link] a force acts at a point, it can be
resolved into two components — one in the horizontal direction and one in the vertical direction.
Instead of finding the moment of the whole force directly, we can find the moments of its components
separately and then add them. The result will be the [Link]:\text{Moment of Force} = \
text{Moment of Horizontal Component} + \text

Mohr’s Circle of Inertia is a graphical method used to determine the principal moments of inertia and
the orientation of principal axes for a planar area. It is especially useful for rotated coordinate systems in
two-dimensional problems involving area moments of inertia.
What is Equilibrium?Equilibrium in mechanics means that an object is at rest or moving with constant
velocity — basically, there’s no net force and no net moment acting on it. The object is completely
[Link] simpler terms:> The forces and moments cancel each other out, so the body doesn’t
accelerate or rotate.....Conditions for Equilibrium in 3D Force System:In a 3D force system, for an object
to be in equilibrium, the sum of all forces and the sum of all moments along the x, y, and z axes must be
zero...Equilibrium Equations (3D):\sum F_x = 0 \quad \text{(No net force along X-axis)}\sum F_y = 0 \

Principle of Virtual WorkThe principle of virtual work states that:> If a system is in equilibrium, then the
total virtual work done by all the forces acting on the system during any virtual (imaginary and small)
displacement is [Link] displacement means a small, imaginary movement of a body — not real,
just assumed — consistent with the system’s [Link] work is the work done by forces during
this imaginary [Link] a structure or body is in equilibrium, then all the positive and negative
virtual work done by all the forces will cancel each other out, resulting in zero net [Link]:\delta
W = \sum F \cdot \delta x = 0Where: = virtual work = force = virtual displacement

i) Coefficient of Restitution?"This is a number that tells you how much energy two objects keep after
[Link] two objects hit each other and bounce back — the coefficient of restitution (e) tells us how
“bouncy” the collision was.....Formula:..e = \frac{\text{Relative velocity after collision}}{\text{Relative
velocity before collision}}So if:e = 1 → Perfectly elastic (they bounce back like rubber balls)...e = 0 →
Perfectly inelastic (they stick together like glue)..0 < e < 1 → Real-life stuff, some bounce, some energy
lost

ii) Law of Conservation of Momentum.”This law says that if no external force acts on a system, the total
momentum before and after a collision is the [Link]:\text{Total momentum before} = \
text{Total momentum after}In Simple Words:Before collision and after collision — momentum stays the
same... unless someone messes with it (like a force from outside).
Free Body Diagram (FBD)A Free Body Diagram is a simple representation of an object showing all the
external forces acting on it. It is used to analyze the motion or equilibrium of that [Link] to draw a
Free Body Diagram:1. Identify the object.2. Represent the object as a simple shape (like a box or dot).3.
Draw arrows representing all the forces acting on the object.4. Label each force clearly.5. Indicate the
direction of each force accurately. Example: Block on a tableWeight (W) acting [Link] Force
(N) acting [Link] force is applied: Applied Force (F) to the side..Free body diagramsTo apply the
equation of equilibrium, we have to consider all types of forces (ΣF) which are acting on the particle. A
drawing in which all the forces are depicted is called free body diagram (FBD).

centroid is the geometric center or average position of all the points in a shape or object. For a uniform
planar shape, it is the point at which the area could be considered to be concentrated. In mechanics, it is
used in area calculations, moment of inertia, and structural analysisUsed in beam analysis, bending
moment calculations, and design of structural elements.

D’Alembert’s Principle is a fundamental concept in dynamics that transforms a dynamic problem into a
static one by introducing inertial forces. It is widely used in engineering mechanics and analytical
[Link]:D’Alembert’s Principle states that:> “The sum of the differences between the
applied forces and the inertial forces acting on a system is zero.”1. It is based on Newton’s Second Law
(F = ma) but reformulated to resemble static equilibrium.2. The object is considered to be in dynamic
equilibrium by introducing fictitious inertial forces.3. The principle is useful in Lagrangian mechanics and
kinetic energy formulations.4. It allows the application of the methods of statics to dynamic systems,
simplifying [Link] in analyzing machines, mechanisms, and multi-body systems.

Elastic impact refers to a type of collision where both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
When two bodies collide elastically, they rebound without any permanent deformation or loss of
energy.

Free-body diagrams are diagrams used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting
upon an object in a given situation. A free-body diagram is a special example of the vector diagrams that
were discussed in an earlier unit. These diagrams will be used throughout our study of physics. The size
of the arrow in a free-body diagram reflects the magnitude of the force. The direction of the arrow
shows the direction that the force is acting. Each force arrow in the diagram is labeled to indicate the
exact type of force. It is generally customary in a free-body diagram to represent the object by a box and
to draw the force arrow from the center of the box outward in the direction that the force is acting. An
example of a free-body diagram is shown at the rightThe free-body diagram above depicts four forces
acting upon the object. Objects do not necessarily always have four forces acting

Free Body Diagram (FBD) is a graphical representation used to show all the external forces acting on a
single object. Each force is drawn as a vector (arrow) that represents both magnitude (by arrow length)
and direction (by arrow orientation).In a typical FBD:The object is represented by a simple shape, usually
a [Link] force vectors originate from the center of the box, pointing outward in the direction the force
[Link] force is labeled according to its type (e.g., weight, normal force, tension, friction).The number
of forces depends on the physical situation. An object may have two, three, four, or more forces acting
on it depending on its environment.
D'Alembert's Principle is based on Isaac Newton's second law of motion, which states that the sum of
forces acting on a body is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration (F=ma). However,
D'Alembert's Principle offers an alternative way of approaching problems involving the equilibrium and
motion of [Link] Forces: D'Alembert's Principle introduces the concept of "inertial forces."
These forces are fictitious forces introduced to account for the effects of acceleration when a system is
in non-inertial (accelerating) reference frames. In other words, they represent the forces needed to
maintain the equilibrium of a system undergoing [Link] in a Dynamic System:
D'Alembert's Principle states that for a dynamic system in equilibrium, the algebraic sum of the applied
forces and the inertial forces (introduced to account for acceleration) must be zero.∑F+∑Finertial=0

Virtual Work Principle: D'Alembert's Principle is often used in conjunction with the virtual work
principle. This principle allows one to determine the equilibrium or motion of a system by considering
the work done by the applied forces and the virtual work done by the inertial forces over a virtual
displacement. Equilibrium or motion is achieved when the total virtual work is zero.

Moment of a force about a point about an axisThe turning effect produced by a force on the body on
which it acts is called as [Link] of force about any point is the product of magnitude of force
and perpendicular distance of force from the point about which moment is to be taken.

Couple can be defined as combination of two forces which are of equal magnitude but are opposite in
direction, and are separated by a perpendicular distance d as shown in figure below. This can be
illustrated by considering that when we are driving a car, to take a right turn, the right hand imparts a
pull downwards on the steering wheel and the left hand imparts a push on steering wheel upwards, thus
creating a couple. This moment created by couple is known as Couple Moment.

Frictional Force: This type of force exists between the two surfaces making contact and having
irregularities or roughness between the mating surfaces. E.g., Frictional force between the tyre of car
and road causing it to wear and tear.

90 N force is applied to the control rod AB. Determine moment of this Force about point [Link]:..As

Thermal Plant:In these plants coal is burnt to produce high temperature and pressure steam in boiler.
The steam produces a rotational motion when it passes through turbine. This turbine rotates and
produces electricity. In India coal is present in abundance so they are commonly used. The resources
used are easily available and cheap so they require less cost in installation. The main drawback of these
plants is that they pollute the environment. As the coal is burnt to produce energy the leftover ash and
the chimneys adds to the cost in the plant...Hydro power plants:In these stations water is used to run

renewable energy sources. The energy from renewable energy sources can be used to generate power

Single line diagram is the representation of a power system using the simple symbol for each
component. The single line diagram of a power system is the network which shows the main
connections and arrangement of the system components along with their data. In fact, the power
systems are so complex that a complete conventional diagram showing all the connections is
impractical. Yet, it is desirable, that there is some concise way of communicating the basic arrangement
of power system components. This is done by using a Single Line Diagram (SLD). SLDs are also called One

FusesIt has one switch unit and one fuse unit. When the breaker is operated the contact to the switch is
close and supply passes through the fuse unit to output. In fuse switch unit there is only fuse unit which
acts as a switch. During operating the fuse unit closes the input and output of the breaker.

HRC fuse or high rupturing capacity fuse– In that type of fuse, the fuse wire or element can carry short
circuit heavy current for a known time period. During this time if the fault gets removed, then it does
not blow off. Otherwise, it blows off or melts. The enclosure of HRC fuse is either of glass or some other
chemical compound.

Off-line UPS .This UPS is also called as Standby UPS system which can give only the most basic features.
Here, the primary source is the filtered AC mains as shown below. When the power breakage occurs, the
transfer switch will select the backup source. Thus, we can clearly see that the stand by system will start
working only when there is any failure in mains. In this system, the AC voltage is first rectified and stored
in the storage battery connected to the rectifier.

Laws of Kinematic or Dynamic Friction:Following are the laws of kinetic or dynamic friction:1. The force
of friction always act such that it opposes the motion of body.2. There is a constant ratio between
kinetic motion and normal reaction. But this ratio is slightly less when it comes to limiting friction.3. For
medium speeds, the force due to friction stays constant. But it decreases somewhat when the speed
increases.

HRC fuse or high rupturing capacity fuse– In that type of fuse, the fuse wire or element can carry short
circuit heavy current for a known time period. During this time if the fault gets removed, then it does
not blow off. Otherwise, it blows off or melts. The enclosure of HRC fuse is either of glass or some other
chemical [Link] enclosure is sufficiently airtight to avoid the effect of the atmosphere on the
fuse materials. The ceramic enclosure having a metal end cap at both heads, to which fusible silver wire
gets welded. Thereis a space within the enclosure, surrounding the fuse wire or fuse element,
completely packed with a filling [Link] of HRC fuseThe construction of HRC fuse includes
a material that has high heat resistant body like ceramic. This ceramic body includes metal-end caps that
are welded through an element that carries silver-current.*"*Fuse ConstructionThe internal space of the
fuse body is filled by a filling powder material. Here the material used in this is quartz, plaster of Paris,
dust, marble, chalk, etc. So, this is the reason the flow of current cannot overheat. The generated heat
vaporizes the melted element. The chemical reaction will occur between filling power and silver vapor to
result in high resistance material to help in reducing the arc within the fuse.

Mercury Vapour LampIt has an inner quartz arc tube and outer borosilicate glass envelope. The nitrogen
gas is filled between the tubes for [Link] that the metal can be protected from oxidation. Due to
the quartz, it can withstand the temperature up to 1300K. The arc consists of two electrodes and
starting electrodes. The electrodes are dipped into mixture of thorium, calcium and barium carbonates.
The electrodes hold a tungsten rod upon which a double layer of coiled tungsten wire is wound.

They are heated to convert these compounds into oxides after dipping. Thus, they get thermally and
chemically stable to produce electrons. The electrodes are connected through a quartz tube by
molybdenum foil leads. The supply voltage when applied reaches to the starting electrode and the
bottom electrode. The voltage gradient in the gap between the starting electrode and main electrode is
high.

A local argon arc is created due to the high voltage gradient across the starting electrode and the
bottom electrode. This initial arc heats up the mercury and vaporizes it and this mercury vapor helps to
strike the main arc soon. But the resistance for the main arc current control resistor is somewhat less
than the resistance of the resistor used in the initial arc current control purpose. For this reason, initial
arc stops and main arc continues to operate. The mercury vapor arc gives visible spectra of green, yellow
and violet. But there may be still some invisible ultraviolet radiation during discharging process of
mercury vapour so phosphor coating may be provided on outer glass cover to improve efficiency of the
mercury lamp.

Luminous FluxIt is the light energy radiated out per second from the body in the form of luminous light
waves. It is denoted by F or φ. It can also be defined as the flux contained per unit solid angle of a source
of one candela.

Luminous IntensityThe luminous intensity of a point source in any particular direction is given by the
luminous flux radiated out per unit solid angle in that direction. It is denoted by I.I = If flux is measured
in lumens and solid angle in steradians then total flux radiated is given by = I = 4πI lumenCandle-
PowerThe luminous intensity power of a source is different in different directions. The average candle
power of a source is the average value of its candle power in all directions. It is called as mean spherical
candle-power (MSCP)MSCP =The average power taken over a hemisphere is known as mean
hemispherical candle power (MHSCP). It is given by the total flux emitted in a hemisphere divided by the
solid angle subtended at the point source by the hemisphere.

Three-phase Induction Motors: Working principleThe fundamental principle of induction machine is the
creation of rotating and sinusoidally distributed magnetic field in the air gap. Three phase balanced
power supply is fed to the three-phase stator winding creates a synchronously rotating magnetic field.
Due to relative speed between rotating flux andstationary conductors, an emf is induced. The frequency
to induced emf is same as supply [Link] shown in below figure a, the stator field is assumed to be
clockwise. The relative motion of rotor w.r.t stator is anticlockwise. From Right-hand rule, the direction
of induced emf in rotor is outwards. By the effect of combined field as shown in fig b the rotor
experiences a force tending to rotate it in clockwise direction. Hence rotor rotates in the same direction
as the stator field.

Squirrel cage rotor:The rotor consists of a cylindrical core with parallel slots for carrying the rotor
conductor. Each slot has one copper or aluminium bar. Each end of all bars is joined with metal ring. The
entire construction resembles a squirrel cage. The rotor is not connected electrically to the supply it has
induced current from stator. Almost 90% of induction motors are squirrel cage type. But is has a
disadvantage of low starting torque, because the rotor bars are permanently [Link]-

Split phase Induction Motor:In this type of motor an auxiliary winding is connected in addition to the
main winding. There is one switch called centrifugal switch (S) which disconnects the auxiliary winding
from the main winding. If the starting winding has high resistance than only a phase difference can be
created between these windings. The main purpose of creating this phase difference is to get the
magnetic field rotated because IM cannot self-start.

Split phase IMFor highly resistive winding the current is almost in phase with the voltage and for highly
inductive winding the current lag behind the voltage by large angle. The starting winding is highly
resistive so, the current flowing in the starting winding lags behind the applied voltage by very small
angle and the running winding is highly inductive in nature so, the current flowing in running winding
lags behind applied voltage by large angle. The resultant of these two currents is IT. The resultant of
these two currents produces rotating magnetic field which rotates in one direction. In split phase
induction motor, the starting and main current get splitted from each other by some angle so this motor
got its name as split phase induction motor.

Shaded pole: This motor works I three operating regions. The poles of the motor are shaded by copper
ring which are inductive. They are divided in two equal halves. The operation of such motor takes place
at different flux changes:...When flux change from zero to positive maximum the copper band is short
circuited and maximum current flows through it. This current produces its own flux. This flux opposes
the main flux. So, in non-shaded part there is non-uniform distribution of flux casing the magnetic axis to
shift in middle of the non-shaded part....When flux is still at its maximum and very less induced emf in
the shaded portion. The main flux is not affected by the induced emf and hence, uniform flux
remains...The flux the decreases from maximum positive to zero, the current is high. The copper band is
short circuited and maximum current flows through it. This current produces its own flux. This flux
opposes the main flux. So, in shaded part there is non uniform distribution of flux casing the magnetic
axis to shift in middle of the shaded part.

---Sliding FrictionSliding friction occurs when two solid surfaces move against each other. It is caused by
the microscopic roughness of the surfaces, which creates [Link] Points:1. Higher Resistance:
Sliding friction is usually greater than rolling friction because more surface area is in contact.2. Depends
on Surface Roughness: Smoother surfaces reduce sliding friction, while rougher surfaces increase it.3.
Produces Heat: Sliding friction often generates more heat due to the rubbing action between the
surfaces.

---Rolling FrictionRolling friction happens when a round object, like a wheel or ball, rolls over a surface. It
is much lower than sliding [Link] Points:1. Lower Resistance: Rolling friction is less than sliding
friction, making rolling objects easier to move.2. Affected by Deformation: It depends on how much the
rolling object and surface deform (e.g., soft tires on soft ground increase it).3. Used in Transportation:
Rolling friction is beneficial in vehicles, carts, and machinery for smooth and efficient movement.---

Elastic ImpactAn elastic impact is a type of collision in which both momentum and kinetic energy are
conserved. After the impact, the colliding bodies bounce off without losing energy to heat, sound, or
[Link]:When a rubber ball bounces off a hard floor without losing height, the collision is
nearly elasticCoefficient of Restitution (e)The coefficient of restitution is a number that measures how
"bouncy" a collision is. It is defined as:e = \frac{\text{Relative velocity after collision}}{\text{Relative
velocity before collision}}..Key Points:1. e = 1: Perfectly elastic collision (no kinetic energy lost)...2. 0 < e
< 1: Partially elastic collision (some energy lost)....3. e = 0: Perfectly inelastic collision (objects stick
together).
To trace the curve defined by the equation , let's begin by rewriting the equation:a \cdot y^2 = x^2 \cdot

In electrical engineering, sources of voltage (such as voltage sources) are characterized by their behavior
in terms of their output voltage in relation to the current drawn from them. These characteristics can be
classified into two main types: ideal and practical....#£###Ideal Voltage Source (V-1 Characteristics)An
ideal voltage source is a theoretical concept used to model a voltage source that maintains a constant
voltage across its terminals, regardless of the current drawn by the load. The characteristics of an ideal
voltage source can be described as follows:Constant Voltage: The voltage across the terminals of the
source remains constant regardless of the amount of current drawn from it. This means that the ideal
source can supply any amount of current without any change in [Link] Internal Resistance: An
ideal voltage source has no internal resistance. .

Practical Voltage Source (V-1 Characteristics)A practical voltage source is a real-world voltage source
that, although designed to maintain a constant voltage, has limitations due to its internal resistance and
other non-ideal factors. The characteristics of a practical voltage source are:Internal Resistance: A
practical voltage source has some internal resistance , which causes the voltage across the terminals to
decrease as the current drawn from the source increases. This resistance causes a voltage drop inside
the source when current flows through it...Non-Constant Voltage: Due to the internal resistance, as the
load current increases, the terminal voltage of the source decreases. This is because some of the voltage
is lost across the internal resistance..Limited Current Supply: A practical voltage source can only supply a
finite amount of current. If the current exceeds a certain limit, the voltage will drop significantly or the
source may even fail...In a graph of the voltage-

The Superposition Theorem is applicable only to linear circuits because it relies on the principle of
linearity, which involves two key properties: homogeneity (or scaling) and additivity.1. Homogeneity: If
an input is scaled by a constant, the output must scale by the same constant. In other words, if the input
to a system is multiplied by a factor, the output must also be multiplied by the same factor.2. Additivity:
The response caused by two independent inputs acting simultaneously is the sum of the responses
caused by each input acting [Link] linear circuits, components like resistors, inductors, and capacitors
exhibit linear relationships between voltage and current (e.g., Ohm's law for resistors, V = IR). When
multiple sources are present in a circuit, the total response (voltage or current) at any point in the circuit
is the algebraic sum of the

(i) Instantaneous Value1. It is the value of current or voltage at a particular instant of time.2.
Represented as i(t) for current and v(t) for voltage.3. In AC, it varies continuously with time, usually in a
sinusoidal manner.4. It can be positive, negative, or zero depending on the time.5. Instantaneous value
is important for waveform analysis and signal calculations.

(ii) Amplitude1. Amplitude is the maximum value reached by a voltage or current waveform from its
average (zero) position.2. It is denoted by Vm (for voltage) or Im (for current).3. It represents the
strength or intensity of the waveform.4. It is always a positive quantity and measured in volts or
amperes.5. In sine waves, amplitude helps determine peak and RMS values.

(iii) Time Period (T)1. The time period is the duration of one complete cycle of an alternating
waveform.2. It is measured in seconds (s).3. Denoted by T, it is the reciprocal of frequency: T = 1/f.4. It
indicates how fast the waveform repeats.5. Time period is crucial for understanding the frequency
behavior of AC signals.

Magnetic fringing refers to the spreading out of magnetic field lines near the edges of a magnetic
material or an electromagnet. This phenomenon occurs at the boundaries of the magnetic field, where
the field lines spread out rather than remaining concentrated in the central region. It is most noticeable
at the ends of magnetic poles or when the magnetic field is confined in a narrow regionThe reason for
magnetic fringing is the non-uniformity of the magnetic field near the edges of a magnet. Magnetic field
lines tend to curve and spread out at these points to satisfy the boundary conditions, as they cannot
remain perfectly straight near the edges.

Magnetic LeakageMagnetic leakage refers to the portion of the magnetic flux that does not contribute
to the intended magnetic field, either because it "leaks" outside the core of a magnetic circuit or is lost
in a way that reduces the efficiency of the magnetic [Link] leakage can happen in various
applications, such as in transformers, electric motors, or inductors, where the magnetic field is meant to
be confined within a core material but some flux leaks out due to imperfections in the core, air gaps, or
less-than-ideal magnetic [Link] reduces the effectiveness of a device because the flux that
leaks away doesn't contribute to energy transfer or magnetic coupling as

Magnetic Circuit and Electric Circuit:Similarities 1. Both have a driving force (MMF in magnetic, EMF in
electric).2. Both face opposition (Reluctance in magnetic, Resistance in electric).3. Both involve a closed
path for the flow (Flux in magnetic, Current in electric).4. Laws apply: Magnetic circuit follows a form of
Ohm’s Law like electric circuit.5. Materials used in both circuits affect performance (e.g., core material
or conductor type).-- -Dissimilarities (5 Points):1. Magnetic Circuit carries magnetic flux, Electric Circuit
carries electric current.2. MMF (Ampere-Turns) drives flux; EMF (Volts) drives current.3. Magnetic
opposition is reluctance; electrical opposition is resistance.4. Flux is measured in Weber; current is
measured in Amperes.5. Magnetic circuit uses ferromagnetic materials; electric circuit uses conductors
like copper.

transformer is said to be a constant flux machine because the magnetic flux in its core remains nearly
constant under normal operating conditions, regardless of the load on the secondary [Link]
Conditions:When load is connected to the secondary:..A current flows in the secondary....This creates a
counter-flux (opposing the main flux)...The primary draws additional current to exactly cancel this
counter-flux...Thus, net flux in the core remains nearly constant...Conclusion:A transformer maintains
constant core flux due to the self-regulating action between primary and secondary currents, which is
why it's called a constant flux machine.

###Principle of Transmissibility of ForcesThe principle of transmissibility of forces states that:> The

conditions of equilibrium or motion of a rigid body remain unchanged if a force acting on the body is
replaced by another force of the same magnitude, direction, and line of action, but applied at a different
point along the same line of [Link] only to rigid bodies (bodies that do not deform).The
magnitude, direction, and line of action of the force must be the [Link] can "slide" the force along its
line of action without changing the mechanical effect on the [Link]:Not valid for deformable
bodies, where the point of application affects internal [Link] does not consider internal effects, only

couple in mechanics is a system of two equal and opposite forces whose lines of action do not coincide
but are parallel. These forces create a rotational effect (moment) on a body but produce no net
translational [Link] Property of a Couple:> A couple produces a pure rotational effect and has a
constant moment, independent of the point about which the moment is measured.

inertia of a body about any axis parallel to an axis through its center of gravity (centroid).Statement:>
The moment of inertia of a body about any axis parallel to and a distance away from the centroidal axis

which forces act during collision) coincides with the line joining their centers of mass.2. The bodies move
along this line before and after the collision — meaning motion is one-dimensional.

coefficient of restitution measures the elasticity of a collision — how much kinetic energy is
[Link]:..e = \frac{\text{Relative velocity after impact}}{\text{Relative velocity before
impact}} = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{u_1 - u_2}..Where:: Velocities of body 1 and 2 before impact..: Velocities of
body 1 and 2 after impact..: Coefficient of restitution (0 ≤ e ≤ 1)

Dynamic Equilibrium..Dynamic equilibrium occurs in a reversible reaction when the rate of the forward
reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, and the concentrations of the reactants and products
remain constant over time..Even though the reactions are still occurring, there's no net change in the
system — it's balanced dynamically, not [Link] a closed container:N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌
2NH₃(g)The forward reaction forms [Link] reverse reaction breaks ammonia back into nitrogen
and [Link] dynamic equilibrium:The rates of both reactions are [Link] amount of each gas
stays constant.

Q1 (b) Sol...We are given three forces:....1. f to the base 1 = 300 N (acting vertically upward)...2. f to the
base 2 = 361 N (acting at 60° to horizontal)...3. f to the base 3 = 448 N (acting horizontally right)....Step 1:
Resolve Each Force into Components..For f to the base 1:...f to the base 1x = 0...f to the base 1y = 300
N...For f to the base 2 (at 60°):...f to the base 2x = 361 × cos(60°) = 361 × 0.5 = 180.5 N...f to the base 2y
= 361 × sin(60°) = 361 × 0.866 = 312.53 N...For f to the base 3:...f to the base 3x = 448 N...f to the base 3y
= 0...Step 2: Resultant Components..Resultant in X-direction:..r to the base x = f to the base 1x + f to the
base 2x + f to the base 3x...r to the base x = 0 + 180.5 + 448 = 628.5 N...Resultant in Y-direction:...r to the
base y = f to the base 1y + f to the base 2y + f to the base 3y....r to the base y = 300 + 312.53 + 0 = 612.53
N...Step 3: Magnitude of Resultant Force...r = √[(r to the base x)² + (r to the base y)²]...r = √[(628.5)² +
(612.53)²]...r = √[394004.25 + 375183.80]...r = √[769188.05]...r ≈ 877.05 N...Step 4: Direction of
Resultant Force...tan θ = (r to the base y) / (r to the base x) = 612.53 / 628.5...θ = tan⁻¹(0.9746) ≈ 44.2°
(above x-axis)...Step 5: X and Y InterceptsAssuming the line of action of resultant passes through
origin:..x-intercept = r × cos(θ) = 877.05 × cos(44.2°) ≈ 877.05 × 0.717 = 628.6 units..y-intercept = r ×
sin(θ) = 877.05 × sin(44.2°) ≈ 877.05 × 0.697 = 611.4 units..Final Answers:.Resultant force, r = 877.05

2. Residual Flux (Br):It is the magnetic flux density that remains in a magnetic material when the external
magnetizing force (H) is removed. It represents how much magnetism is "retained" without any external
influence.

3. Retentivity:It is the ability of a magnetic material to retain a certain amount of residual magnetism
after the magnetizing field has been removed. Materials with high retentivity are used for making
permanent magnets.

Eddy currents are loops of electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field, as
described by Faraday's law of induction. They can cause energy losses in the form of heat, reducing the
efficiency of electrical devices.

ideal voltage source maintains a constant voltage regardless of the current flowing through it, and it has
zero internal resistance. A practical voltage source, however, has internal resistance and its voltage may
drop as the load current increases.

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that the sum of all electromotive forces (EMF) and potential differences
(voltage drops) in a closed loop of a circuit is equal to zero. This is critical for analyzing electrical circuits,
ensuring that energy is conserved within the loop.

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that:"The algebraic sum of all the voltages around any closed loop in
a circuit is zero."Mathematically:\sum V = 0...This means that the total voltage supplied in a loop is equal
to the total voltage drop across the elements in that loop...Explanation:As you move around a closed
loop in a circuit:...Add voltage rises (e.g., from power supplies)...Subtract voltage drops (e.g., across
resistors, capacitors)...The result must equal zero because energy is conserved...Example:...In a simple
loop with a 10V battery and two resistors and :...10V - V_{R1} - V_{R2} = 0...If the current is , then:...10V
- (4I) - (6I) = 0 \Rightarrow 10V = 10I \Rightarrow I = 1A

phasor diagram in transformers visually represents the phase relationships between different voltages
and currents in a transformer, typically under steady-state AC conditions. It helps analyze how the
transformer behaves under various loading [Link] Voltage (V₁)Drawn as the reference
phasor — usually horizontal to the right.2. Primary Current (I₁)Lags the voltage if the load is inductive.
Its angle depends on the load power factor.3. Magnetizing Current (I_m)Very small in magnitude and
lags by nearly 90°, responsible for producing the magnetic flux.4. Core Loss Comp

Hysteresis loss is the energy lost in the form of heat in a magnetic material (like a transformer core)
when it undergoes repeated cycles of magnetization and demagnetization (due to alternating current).
This loss occurs because the material resists changes in magnetization, and some energy is dissipated in
each [Link]:P_h = \eta B_{\text{max}}^{1.6} f V...Where:... = hysteresis loss (W)... = Steinmetz
constant (depends on material)... = maximum flux density (T)... = frequency (Hz).. = volume of the core
(m³)

Hysteresis Curve (B-H Curve)The hysteresis curve is a plot of magnetic flux density versus magnetic field
strength . It shows how a magnetic material responds to an external magnetizing [Link] Points on the
Curve:1. Initial Magnetization – From origin to saturation.2. Saturation – Beyond this, further increases
in cause little increase in .3. Retentivity (Br) – The value of when , indicates how much magnetism is
retained...4. Coercivity (Hc) – The value of required to bring back to zero....5. Loop Area – Represents
energy lost per cycle (i.e., hysteresis loss).
What is Eddy Current Loss?Eddy currents are loops of electrical current induced within the core of a
transformer due to the changing magnetic field (Faraday's Law). These circulating currents generate
heat, leading to energy [Link] It Happens:.The alternating magnetic flux in the transformer core
induces EMF not only in the windings but also within the core itself..The core, being a conductor,
experiences circulating currents (eddy currents)..These currents flow in loops perpendicular to the
magnetic field and produce resistive heating.

Statically Induced EMFOccurs when magnetic flux changes with [Link] conductor is
[Link] due to a changing magnetic field...Follows Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic
induction...Common in [Link] is typically AC.

Dynamically Induced EMFOccurs due to relative motion between conductor and magnetic field....The
conductor moves through the magnetic field....Flux may be constant, but motion is required....Follows
Faraday’s Law and Lorentz Force principle....Common in generators and motors....EMF can be AC or DC.

practical voltage source is a real-world voltage source that provides a specified voltage but has some
internal resistance, unlike an ideal voltage source which has zero internal resistance...Key Points:..aaIt
maintains a voltage across its terminals only when no current flows...When current is drawn, voltage
drops due to internal [Link]:V_{\text{terminal}} = V_{\text{source}} - I \cdot rWhere: =
output voltage across load = ideal source voltage = load current = internal resistance

squirrel-cage rotor is the most common type of rotor used in 3-phase induction motors, especially in
industrial applications.---Construction:Made of conductive bars (usually aluminum or copper) placed
parallel to the rotor [Link] bars are short-circuited at both ends using end rings, forming a cage-like
structure — hence the name “squirrel cage”.The rotor core is made of laminated iron to reduce eddy
current losses.

Eddy current losses in transformers can be minimized by employing several techniques that reduce the
magnitude of these circulating currents within the transformer core. Here are the key methods:1.
Laminating the Core:The transformer core is made up of thin laminated sheets (usually silicon steel)
instead of a solid [Link] sheet is insulated from the others using a varnish coating, which restricts the
path of eddy currents to within each [Link] increases the resistance to eddy currents, thereby
reducing the total loss.2. Using High-Resistivity Materials:Using materials with high electrical resistivity
for the core, such as silicon steel, helps limit the strength of eddy [Link] higher the resistivity, the
lower the eddy current losses.3. Reducing Core Thickness:..Eddy current losses are proportional to the
square of the

Magnetic Fringing 1. Magnetic fringing occurs at the air gap in a magnetic circuit.2. It is the spreading
out of magnetic flux lines at the gap...3. This happens because air offers higher reluctance than the
core....4. Due to fringing, the effective area of the air gap increases...5. As area increases, flux density in
the air gap slightly decreases...6. It is more prominent in larger air gaps...7. Fringing must be considered
in accurate magnetic circuit [Link] Leakage and Fringing

The flux that does not follow the desired path in a magnetic circuit is called a leakage [Link] most of
practical magnetic circuits, a large part of flux path is through a magnetic material and the remainder
part of flux path is through air. The flux in the air gap is known as useful flux because it can be utilised
for various useful purposes. Fig. (a) shows an iron ring wound with a coil and having a narrow air gap.
The total flux produced by the coil does not pass through the air gap as some of it leaks through the air
(path at 'a') surrounding the iron. These flux lines as at 'a' are called leakage flux.

Fringing. When crossing an air gap, magnetic lines of force tend to bulge out such as lines of force at bb
in Fig. (a). It is because lines of force repel each other when passing through non-magnetic material such
as air. This effect is known as fringing. The result of bulging or fringing is to increase the effective area of
air gap and thus decrease the flux density in the gap. The longer the air gap, the greater is the fringing
and vice-versa.

Magnetic leakage is the portion of magnetic flux that does not follow the intended path in a magnetic
circuit...2. It occurs when some flux escapes into the surrounding air instead of staying within the
core...3. Caused by the non-perfect magnetic confinement of materials....4. It reduces the efficiency of
magnetic circuits and devices....5. Leakage flux does not link with all turns of the coil, affecting
performance...6. Can be minimized by using high-permeability materials and proper core design...7.
Leakage is considered in transformer and machine design to improve accuracy.

a) Explain:i) Coefficient of RestitutionThe coefficient of restitution (e) is a measure of how elastic a

collision is between two bodies. It is defined as the ratio of relative speed after collision to relative speed
before collision, along the line of impact...e = \frac{\text{Relative velocity after impact}}{\text{Relative
velocity before impact}} = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{u_1 - u_2}..: Velocities before collision..: Velocities after

total momentum before collision equals the total momentum after collision...m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1

y_{n+2} - 2y_{n+1} + 4y_n = 2^nThis is a non-homogeneous linear recurrence relation....Step 1: Solve the

solution of the form y_n = r^n. Substituting into the equation:r^2 - 2r + 4 = 0...Solve this quadratic
equation:...r = [2 ± sqrt(4 - 16)] / 2 = [2 ± sqrt(-12)] / 2 = [2 ± 2√3i] / 2 = 1 ± √3i...So the general solution
of the homogeneous equation is:..y_n(h) = A(1 + √3i)^n + B(1 - √3i)^n...Or, using Euler’s formula:..y_n(h)
= 2^n [C cos(nπ/3) + D sin(nπ/3)]...Step 2: Find a particular solution...For the non-homogeneous part

(k * 2^{n+2}) - 2(k * 2^{n+1}) + 4(k * 2^n) = 2^n...Factor out 2^n:...k * 2^n [2^2 - 2*2 + 4] = 2^n...k * 2^n
[4 - 4 + 4] = 2^n...k * 2^n * 4 = 2^n...Divide both sides by 2^n:...4k = 1 => k = 1/4 ...So the particular
solution is:...y_n(p) = (1/4) * 2^n ...Final General Solution:y_n = y_n(h) + y_n(p)...So:y_n = 2^n [C

Varignon's Theorem (also known as Varignon's Theorem of Moments) is a fundamental principle in

mechanics, particularly in [Link]:The moment of a force about a point is equal to the sum of
the moments of its components about the same [Link]:If a force F is resolved into two
components, F₁ and F₂, then:\text{Moment of } F \text{ about point O} = \text{Moment of } F₁ \
text{ about O} + \text{Moment of } F₂ \text{ about O}Explanation:Suppose a force F acts at a point in a
[Link] resolve this force into two perpendicular components (e.g., horizontal and vertical).The
torque or moment created by F around a point O is the same as the total moment created by those two
components...Use Case:Varignon’s Theorem simplifies moment calculations in statics, especially when
dealing with complex systems of forces.

Explain the working of transformer on 'NO LOAD' condition with phasor [Link] of
Transformer on No Load:When the primary winding of a transformer is connected to an AC supply
without any load on the secondary, it is said to be on no-load condition.A small current called no-load
current (I₀) flows in the [Link] no-load current has two components:Magnetizing current (I ₘ):
Creates the magnetic flux in the [Link] loss current (Iₑ): Supplies the iron losses (hysteresis and eddy
current losses).The magnetic flux generated links both the primary and secondary [Link] EMF (E₁)
is induced in the primary winding opposing the applied voltage (according to Lenz's Law).An EMF (E₂) is
induced in the secondary, but no secondary current flows (because secondary is open).Phasor
Diagram:The applied voltage V₁ is taken as the [Link] magnetizing current I ₘ lags V₁ by 90°.Core
loss current Iₑ is in phase with V₁.The resultant no-load current I₀ lags slightly behind V₁.

i) Time Period (T):The time period of a waveform is the time taken to complete one full cycle of the
wave. It is usually measured in seconds (s). For a periodic signal,T = 1 / f, where f is the frequency.i) Time
Period1. It represents the duration of one complete cycle of a periodic waveform.2. Denoted by the
symbol T and measured in seconds (s).3. Inversely proportional to frequency: T = 1/f.4. Time period is
constant for a perfectly periodic signal.5. It helps determine how fast a waveform repeats over time.

ii) Amplitude (A):Amplitude is the maximum value or peak value of a waveform measured from its mean
(zero) position. It indicates the strength or intensity of the signal.1. Amplitude is the peak value of a
waveform from its average (zero) level.2. It indicates the signal's strength, energy, or intensity.3.
Denoted typically by A and measured in volts, amps, etc., depending on the signal type.4. For
symmetrical waveforms like sine waves, it is half the peak-to-peak value.
iii) Instantaneous Value:...The instantaneous value of a waveform is the value (voltage, current, etc.) of
the signal at a specific moment in time.1. It is the value of a signal at a specific point in time.2. It can be
positive, negative, or zero depending on the waveform and time.

iv) Form Factor:..Form factor is the ratio of the RMS (Root Mean Square) value to the average (mean)
value of a waveform...Form Factor = RMS Value / Average Value..It helps in comparing the shapes of
waveforms.1. It is the ratio of RMS value to average value of a waveform.2. Indicates how peaky or flat a
waveform is....3. For a sine wave, the form factor is 1.11...4. Helps in designing electrical equipment like
transformers.
