AI Thread Summary
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) is crucial in electrical transmission systems as it states that the sum of the voltages around any closed loop in a circuit must equal zero. In practical terms, this means that the delivered voltage is affected by voltage drops due to resistance (IR losses) along the transmission line. Additionally, KVL accounts for the internal resistance of power sources, which can impact overall efficiency. Understanding these principles helps in analyzing and optimizing power delivery in transmission systems. Mastery of KVL is essential for effective electrical engineering practices.

hi guys i got i a practice exam of teacher yesterday, its been really easy but i don't understand this one question.

Discuss that how kirchhoff’s voltage law is applied in the electrical transmission system?.

I know this is a easy question but i don't understand how kirchhoff’s voltage law is used here, and the textbook is not much help.

Isn't it just referring to the fact that the delivered voltage will be reduced by IR over the transmission line?
 
It may also refer to the effect of the internal resistance of any power source and the maximum power transfer theorem.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
