Abstract

The experiment is aimed at constructing a step-up transformer. This is due to the type of materials being used and the number of rolls that the wire is rolled on the U-shaped material. This can easily be related to the alternating current that is tapped from one source to the other. This current can easily be measured in respect to the size of the voltage that is alternated in between the primary transformer and that of the secondary transformer. The number of coils in the primary material is two; the other secondary coil has four coils. The material used ...

Theory

A magnetic field refers to magnetic control of electric currents and the magnetic materials, specified by both direction and strength. It results from moving electric charges and the magnetic moments of elementary particles related with their spin. It can also be defined as its force exerted on a charged particle in motion. Magnetic field lines normally form in concentric circles around a current currying conductor cylindrical in nature for example a length of wire. The strength of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the length of the wire or the distance for an infinite length.

Biot–Savart law describes the magnetic field generated by a steady current, I to be equivalent to;

Abstract

Ohm’s law is used to relate the current through and voltage across a resistor by a proportionality constant known as resistance. Since the voltage supplied by a voltage source, such as a battery, is constant the current will change in magnitude depending on the number of resistors in the circuit. Resistance is also affected by temperature. The two quantities are directly proportional, and hence an increase the temperature results in an increase in resistance. This is due to an increase in collision of electrons hence a decrease in the smoothness of flow of electric current. This relationship is ...

QUESTION ONE:

In both north end and first floor, two types of the sprinklers may be used which are the wet sprinkler and the system of pre-action sprinkler. The pre-action sprinklers are often more advantageous compared to the wet sprinklers.
The pre action sprinklers operate like the network of storm sprinklers but the only difference is the fact that the sprinklers are shut. This framework is commonly in ranges involving supplies or substances of heightened quality that are delicate. The pre action sprinklers are shut to reduce the impact of pressure on the delicate items.
