What is the most Ionising radiation? Alpha particles What type of radiation has the longest range in air? Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through […]
What is AVR droop?
What is AVR droop? The DROOP pot (potentiometer) on a generator AVR controls the amount reduction in excitation from no load to full load. For a standalone generator this would result in a voltage reduction, for a generator in parallel it will reduce the reactive power absorbed by the alternator. How do I increase the […]
What is the meaning of over voltage?
What is the meaning of over voltage? 1 : the excess potential required for the discharge of an ion at an electrode over and above the equilibrium potential of the electrode. 2 : voltage in excess of the normal operating voltage of a device or circuit. What causes high voltage in a car circuit? As […]
Which machine has the highest efficiency?
Which machine has the highest efficiency? The most efficient electrical machine is the transformer. Transformers have efficiency above 95%. The autotransformer has an efficiency of close to 98%. The maximum efficiency is achieved under the fully loaded condition. What prevents machines from being 100 efficient? Machines are not 100% efficient because some of the work […]
Is the nervous system a control system?
Is the nervous system a control system? It is the body’s communication system that controls much of what your body does. It allows you to do things like walk, speak, swallow, breathe and learn, and controls how your body reacts in an emergency. Your nervous system is made up of: your central nervous system, or […]
What is the biggest difference between primary and secondary succession?
What is the biggest difference between primary and secondary succession? Primary succession occurs following an opening of a pristine habitat, for example, a lava flow, an area left from retreated glacier, or abandoned strip mine. In contrast, secondary succession is a response to a disturbance, for example, forest fire, tsunami, flood, or an abandoned field. […]
Can elephants get cold?
Can elephants get cold? The answer to this question is quite interesting. African elephants are exposed to both cold and hot temperatures in the wild. In Botswana, home to the largest wild elephant populations in the world, the temperatures can drop into the low 40s at night. Are elephants OK in snow? Elephants in the […]
What can you compare to a cell?
What can you compare to a cell? Cells are Like Cars You can compare the windshield and windows to plasma membranes, since they protect the inside of the car from invaders like insects and dirt. Cars need power to drive, and this happens when fuel, converts to energy in the engine, much like mitochondria creating […]
