Ferromagnetic materials have a crystal structure which means that they are made up of crystals. Every crystal of a ferromagnetic substance has a particular direction along which it offers high permeability and is, therefore, most easily magnetized. Such axes, along which the crystals have high permeability and are more easily magnetized, are called the “preferred” …
Hi friends, In this article, I am discussing the “Creep in materials.” Types of creep and creep strength. So let us start. Metals will deform under steady service loads less than the short-time elastic strength if the loads are applied for a very long time at temperatures near the crystallization temperature. Apparently, the atoms tend …
Hi friends, In this article, am discussing the properties of superconductors and the applications of superconductors. This article will provide you sufficient information about superconductors. The resistivity of most metals increases with increase in temperature and vice-versa. There are some metals and chemical compounds whose resistivity becomes zero when their temperature is brought …
Hi friends, In this article, I am going to discuss the data acquisition system block diagram, function of each block, and its applications. This article will provide you an overview about data acquisition system in simple words. Data acquisition system (DAS) is a computerized system that collects data from the real world, converts it into the form …
Hi friends, In this article, I am discussing the piezoelectric effect, piezoelectric transducer working principle, its working, and applications. You will find this article informative and interesting, I hope so.The Piezoelectric transducer is an active transducer. It is generally used to convert mechanical stress or pressure into an electrical signal. These physical quantities cannot be measured …
Hi friends, In this article, I am going to discuss the RTD working principle, its construction and applications. It is also known as a resistance thermometer. A resistance temperature detector is a passive resistive transducer. It is used to measure the change in temperature. RTD Working Principle As we know that every metal has a definite …
Hi friends, In this article, I am going to describe you strain gauge working principle, gauge factor and strain gauge load cell working. A strain gauge is a passive transducer, that converts mechanical displacement into the change of resistance. A strain gauge sensor is a thin wafer-like device that can be attached to a variety of materials …
Hi friends, In this article, I am going to discuss the thermocouple working principle, its types and properties. Thermocouples are the temperature sensors which are extensively used for the measurement of the temperature variations. They sense the temperature and the temperature is further measured by other instruments after sensing it. As they convert a non-electrical quantity (temperature) into …
In this article, I am going to discuss the NTC thermistor working principle, its characteristics, and its applications. So let us start. A thermistor is a special type of resistor whose resistance changes with the change in its body temperature. These are of two types: PTC Thermistor: Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistor, is made up …
Controlled slowing or stopping of a motor and its driven load is as important as starting in many applications like cranes and electric traction. Sometimes electric braking is better than other breaking systems due to its greater economy and absence of brake wear. Therefore, electric braking of dc motors has its own importance, keeping …
