Self-Inductance Inductance can be defined as the electromotive force generated to oppose the change in current in particular time duration. According to Faraday’s law, unit of Inductance: . There are two types of Inductance are there: Self-Inductance Mutual Inductance. What is a Self-Inductance? Self – Inductance is defined as the property of the coil due Read more about Self-Inductance[…]
Modulus of Elasticity The modulus of elasticity (E) is a material property, that describes its stiffness and is therefore one of the most important properties of solid materials. Mechanical deformation puts energy into a material. The energy is stored elastically or dissipated plastically. The way a material stores this energy is summarized in stress-strain curves. Read more about Modulus of Elasticity[…]
Bulk Modulus of Elasticity Bulk modulus of elasticity is one of the measures of mechanical properties of solids. Other elastic modules include Young’s modulus and Shear modulus. In any case, the bulk elastic properties of a material is used to determine how much it will compress under a given amount of external pressure. What is a Bulk Read more about Bulk Modulus of Elasticity[…]
Fluid Pressure Have you ever observed why the nails end with a sharp point, while sipping Cool drink from a straw, have you noticed that you actually suck the air out of the straw? Why and how does this happen? To answer all this question lies in the concept of pressure. While you sip the Read more about Fluid Pressure[…]
Unit of Force Force is defined as the pull or push which produces or tends to produce, destroys or tends to destroy motion in a body, increases or decreases the speed of the body or changes its direction of motion. Therefore, Force is an external or internal agent present to influence the natural state of Read more about Unit of Force[…]
Sliding Friction Whenever the surface of a body slides over another, each body experiences a contact force which always opposes the relative motion between the surfaces. This contact force is called a frictional force. Intermolecular interaction arising due to elastic properties of matter is the cause of frictional force. This force acts tangentially to the Read more about Sliding Friction[…]
Electromagnets Electromagnets are made out of a coil of wire. This is more effective in producing a magnetic field than just a wire running straight. This effect can be strengthened by winding a wire tightly around a powerful core made of magnetic material such as Iron. What are Electromagnets? In below circuit, when a battery Read more about Electromagnets[…]
Scalar and their Properties The physical quantities may be broadly classified into the vectors and the scalars. The quantities with magnitude and direction both are known as vector quantities while, the quantities with only magnitude are called scalar quantities. What is a Scalar Quantity? Scalar quantities are those quantities which require only the magnitude for Read more about Scalar and their Properties[…]
Equation of Motion by Integration Method Relation among velocity, distance, time and acceleration is called equations of motion. There are three equations of motion. The final velocity (v) of a moving object with uniform acceleration (a) after time (t). Let, Initial velocity = v₀, Final velocity = v, Time = t, Acceleration = a First Read more about Equation of Motion by Integration Method[…]
Periodic Function A periodic function is a function that repeats its value on regular intervals or periods. A body is said to be in periodic motion, if the motion it’s executing is repeated after equal intervals of time, like a rocking chair, a swing in motion. Though periodic motion and oscillatory motion sound the same, Read more about Periodic Function[…]
