  • Q2. Whai is transfirmer
  • Ans. 

    A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.

    • Consists of two coils of wire, known as primary and secondary coils

    • Primary coil is connected to a power source, inducing a magnetic field

    • Magnetic field causes voltage to be induced in the secondary coil

    • Used to step up or step down voltage levels in electrical systems

    • Commonly used in power distributi

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. What is generator
  • Ans. 

    A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

    • Generators use electromagnetic induction to produce electricity

    • They are commonly used in power plants, homes, and businesses

    • Examples include diesel generators, wind turbines, and hydroelectric generators

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Whai is motor and working
  • Ans. 

    A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion.

    • Motors consist of a rotor and a stator, with the rotor rotating within the stator.

    • They work based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a current-carrying conductor experiences a force in a magnetic field.

    • Motors are used in various applications such as industrial machinery, household appliances, and electric vehi

  • Ans. 

    The best method in power transfers is through high voltage transmission lines.

    • High voltage transmission lines are more efficient in transferring power over long distances.

    • Using transformers to step up the voltage before transmission and step down the voltage at the receiving end helps minimize power loss.

    • HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission is another efficient method for long distance power transfers.

    • It is the rate of flow of electric charge

    • Current can be either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC)

    • Examples: A light bulb connected to a power source has current flowing through it

    • In a circuit, current flows from the positive terminal of the voltage source to the negative terminal

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What are the method to convert in inverter
  • Ans. 

    Methods to convert inverter include pulse width modulation, sine wave modulation, and square wave modulation.

    • Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a common method used to convert inverter signals by varying the width of the pulses.

    • Sine wave modulation involves generating a sine wave signal to mimic the output of an inverter.

    • Square wave modulation produces a square wave output by switching between high and low voltage levels.
