Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
The centrifugal switch is used to disconnect the starting winding of the motor once the motor approaches its normal operating speed i.e 50% – 70% speed.
Penstock Penstock pipe is used to bring water from the dam to the hydraulic turbine. Penstock pipes are made up of steel or reinforced concrete. The turbine is installed at a lower level from the dam. The penstock is provided with a gate valve at the inlet to completely close the water supply. It has a control valve to control the water flow rate into the turbine.
From the figure it can be concluded that the voltmeter reads 5 volts as shown in the figure below.
Based on the voltmeter and ammeter readings in the measuring network, determine the value of the resistor R
Here
Current I = 1/2 A = 0.5 A
Voltage V = 5 V
R = V/I = 0.5/5
R = 10Ω
