Σελίδα 37 - The strength of a continuous current of electricity in a circuit is directly proportional to the electromotive force, and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit, and is equal to the quotient arising from dividing the electromotive force by the resistance.
Σελίδα 56 - Six cells, each having an emf of 2 volts and an internal resistance of 0.3 ohms, form a series battery to send a current through a resistance of 50 ohms.
Σελίδα 12 - The gram calorie, or small calorie (cal.), is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1°...
Σελίδα 28 - If the north pole of one magnet is brought near the south pole of another magnet, attraction takes place; but if two north poles or two south poles are brought together, they repel each other. In general, like magnetic poles repel one another ; unlike poles attract one another.
Σελίδα 5 - It is customary to express the energy values of different food materials in terms of calories ; a food calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1° C. The physiological fuel values of the main food groups are as follows :— Carbohydrates . . . .4-1 calories per gramme.
Σελίδα 24 - When all the cells joined together in series are similar in kind, size, and condition, as is usually the case, the total internal resistance is equal to the resistance of one cell multiplied by the number of cells.
Σελίδα 2 - ... proportional (1) to the resistance of the conductor; (2) to the square of the current; (3) to the time during which the current flows.
Σελίδα 77 - Mayer- in the same year. The subject was taken up by Hermann '' about 1890, and he obtained valuable tracings by using the wax-cylinder phonograph. He succeeded in obtaining photographs of the curves on the wax cylinder, a beam of light reflected from...
Σελίδα 39 - As we have now learned the use of Ohm's law, it may be well to give some additional information regarding the relation of the units to one another. 74. Referring to formula 14, we have volts — amperes X ohms. It follows from this that a volt would be that electromotive force, or difference of potential, that would force a current of 1 ampere through a resistance of 1 ohm. A CGS unit of difference of potential (or of electromotive force) would be that difference of potential (or electromotive force)...
Σελίδα 33 - ... has to be attended to, ia to see that the annual cost of the energy wasted in a mile of the feeder, added to the annual allowance (per mile) for depreciation and interest on first cost, shall be a minimum. With regard to the question of varying current, the energy lost in a given cable depends upon the square of the current and the time during which the current is flowing. If a cable conveys a current, C, only 12 hours out of the 24 hours, then the energy wasted per day is only half what it would...
