Corona effect in transmission lines.| Explanation by Yuvi - Study Point

You all have heard about the Corona effect in transmission lines, now understand it in a simple way.

  • This effect is a phenomenon which is associated with all transmission lines. At certain conditions, the electric field closer or near the energized conductors or components produces a tiny electric discharge or we can say corona which causes the surrounding air to ionize.
  • And due to this ionization of surrounding air molecules of conductors, a luminous glow with hissing noise is produced which is known as Corona effect.

  • Between the transmission lines, air act as a dielectric medium or we can say that air act as an insulator between current-carrying conductors.
  • Between the conductors, voltage induces and if this voltage is of alternating nature then charging current will flow between the conductors.
  • And the voltage of this transmission line and electric field intensity increases because of this charging conductor.

  • There is a predetermined value of the electric field intensity that if the electric field intensity is less than 30 kV then the induced current between the conductors is neglected.
  • But if the value of electric field intensity is beyond 30 kV then the air between the conductors starts conducting as they get charged.
  • And the sparking occurs until the complete breakdown of the conductor's insulation properties takes place.

Impulse turbine simple explanation. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, today we are going to understand about Impulse turbine. So, without wasting any time lets get started. In an impulse turbine, we are generating power by making the use of high-speed water jet impact. once, we have high-speed water jet, we can use its impact to rotate a turbine. In impulse turbine potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy by passing it through a nozzle. Impulse turbine is totally remain dipped in water. We can say that the impulse turbine uses Newton's second law of motion as it totally depends on two main factors i.e, the mass of water which was flowing into the turbine and change in the velocity of the flow coming into the turbine to that of going out of turbine after impact.                                 As with a considerable decrement in the velocity, the mass of water entering into the turbine is same as that of mass coming out of t...

NBFM & WBFM (Narrow band frequency modulation & Wide band frequency modulation) simple explanation. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, today we are going to learn about NBFM & WBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation & Wideband frequency modulation) in simple or easy way. So, without wasting any time lets get started. The information about NBFM & WBFM When the spectrum's efficiency is important or it is required then we use NBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation) is used.  But when better signal quality is required or when it is important then we use WBFM (Wideband frequency modulation). The term NBFM is used for those applications where the modulation index is less than or equal to 1. And the term WBFM is used for those applications where the modulation index is greater than or equal to 1. Now, let's see more difference between Narrow band frequency modulation(NBFM) and Wideband frequency modulation(WBFM). The term narrow-band and wide-band refer to the actual radio channel bandwidth. The purpose or advantage of using NBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation) The purpo...

Ohm's law simple learning BY Yuvi - Study Point

Hey guys, have you ever heard about Ohm's law, ok so I will teach you in an easy way. So let's get started. It is the basic rule of electricity and it explains the relationship between voltage, electric current & resistance. Ohm's law states that the electric current which is flowing through a circuit or conductor is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. In other words, if resistance is not changed then the electric current flowing through a conductor will increase with the increase in voltage. And if the voltage is not changed then the electric current which is flowing through a conductor decreases with the increase in resistance.    Ohm's law formulas, V = I * R R = V / I I = V / R Ohm's law states that Resistance (R) of the conductor is constant. [*Note = But research shows that the resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to the cross-sec...
