T vs MOSFET: Which one is better for current flow control?

AI Thread Summary
In an AC generator, the current flow is primarily determined by voltage (V) and resistance (R), as outlined in Ohm's Law (I = V/R). The induced electromotive force (emf) generated by changing magnetic flux through the coil is crucial for establishing voltage. Additionally, the resistance of the circuit influences how much current can flow; for instance, a device like a toaster has a high resistance, affecting current levels. Understanding these principles is essential for analyzing current direction and flow in AC generators. Knowledge of these factors is fundamental for effective current flow control.

Current flow in a generator??

In an AC generator what are 2 things that are going to determine the current flow (or the direction of I)?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'll give you a hint. Look at the variables in ohm's law, which is

I = V/R

I is the current
V is something
R is something

V and R are the two other things you're looking for. I'm sure you won't have a problem finding what they are after searching "ohm's law" on google or somewhere. In fact, if we didn't have whatever corresponds to V, electricity couldn't even flow. The other hint i'll drop that an electrical toaster has a very high R.

If you know the working of an AC Generator , it will help. AC generator works on the principle of induced emf due to changing flux throught he coil.Read the theory and try to answer the question yourself.

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
