AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on how current transmission is controlled, questioning whether it is governed by the generator's input power or the resistance of the transmission cable. It is clarified that the current delivered to a load is primarily determined by the load's resistance. A generator outputs a constant voltage, allowing the load to draw the necessary current. If the load demands more current than the generator can provide, it risks damage or failure. Ultimately, the load's resistance plays a crucial role in current transmission.

Current transmitted control by the input power from the generator or control by the resistance of the transmission cabel?

Welcome to PF.

I'm guessing we you used google translator for this, which is why the post is difficult to read...

The current transmitted to a load is determined by the resistance of the load. A generator puts out a constant voltage and the load draws as much current as it wants. The generator provides this current or fails trying (either destroyed in the effort or the mover of the generator can't keep up).
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
