Physics Questions

During convection, cool and dense air falls through the warmer and less dense air. The warm air having less mass is being displaced by the cooler which is much heavy. Convection always involves the air rising through the atmosphere.

A Slip ring is a ring in a dynamo or electric motor which is attached to and rotates with the shaft, passing an electric current to a circuit via a fixed brush pressing against it.

Slip rings are usually made of Phosphor Bronze.

Slip ring motors usually have a 'phase-wound' rotor. This type of rotor has a 3-phase, double-layer, distributed winding consisting of coils used in alternators. The rotor core is made up of steel laminations which have slots to accommodate formed 3-single phase windings.

Siphon is a tube bent to form two legs of unequal length by which a liquid can be transferred from a reservoir and then down to a lower level of it.

Siphon will fail to work if, the level of the liquid in the two vessels are at the same height.

Hydroelectricity is electricity produced from hydropower i.e, water.

Kelvin is used to measure Temperature,

Candela is used to measure Intensity of flame,

Steredian is used to measure Solid Angle.

angstrom is used to measure wave length,

weber is used to measure Magnetic flux,

lux is used to measure Intensity of illumination.

Gear Lapping is an operation after heat treatment. Gear lapping is the process of imparting a very fine finish and high degree of accuracy to gear teeth, by using a lapping tool and applying a fine-grained abrasive between a work material and a closely fitting surface, called a lapping plate.
