AI Thread Summary
Understanding related rates is essential for electrical engineering, particularly in calculus applications. Related rates involve differentiating to determine how one variable changes in relation to another, which can be crucial in analyzing electrical systems. While not always explicitly required, familiarity with these concepts can enhance problem-solving skills in engineering contexts. Many electrical engineering problems may indirectly involve related rates, making it beneficial to grasp the underlying principles. Mastery of related rates can provide a stronger foundation for tackling complex engineering challenges.
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Hi Guys
We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns.
What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
