AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a question from an old City & Guilds paper regarding a resistive load rated at 65 W and 110 V, intended for use on a 230 V supply. Participants seek assistance in calculating the current in the load, the necessary voltage drop across a series inductor, the inductor's inductance, and the circuit's phase angle. Additionally, they inquire about the advantages of current limitation and practical examples. There is a request for reading materials related to this topic, as existing resources primarily focus on MCBs and fuses. The conversation highlights the need for educational resources on electrical impedance and AC circuit analysis.

Hi, I have the following question from an old City & Guilds paper:
A resistive load rated at 65 W, 110 V is to be used on a 230 V, 50 Hz supply.
Calculate
(a) current in the load
(b) voltage drop needed across a pure inductor connected in series with the load
(c) inductance of this inductor
(d) phase angle of the circuit
(e) explain the advantage of this type of current limitation and give one practical example.
Could someone point me to any reading material on this please as I can only find items relating to MCBs and fuses.
Many thanks.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
