power conversion unit

As energy is the capacity to do work, power can also be defined as energy consumed in unit tim..

Power - Imagine two students positioned at track A and track B of 100 m length shifting 10 bricks from one end of the track to the other end. What is the amount of work done by each one of them? The amount of work done is same but the time taken to perform the work varies. In order to fin..

A contractor wishes to lift a load of bricks from the sidewalk to the top of a building by means of a winch. Since we know the expression for work, we can calculate work to be done by the force applied by the winch to lift the load. We are interested in the rate at which it is done, that is, will t..

Power is the rate of doing work or in other words, it is the work done in one second. If a current of 'I' amperes flows through a conductor of resistance 'R' ohm for a time 't' seconds when the potential difference across its ends is 'V' volt, then the electric power consumed P..

Power of a Lens - Whenever a ray of light passes through a lens (except when it passes through the optical centre) it bends. The bending of light rays towards the principal axis is called convergence and bending of light rays away from the principal axis is called divergence. The degree o..

Ability of the lens to converge a beam of light falling on the le..

Whenever a ray of light passes through a lens (except when it passes through the optical center) it bends. The bending of light rays towards the principal axis is called convergence and bending of light rays away from the principal axis is called divergence. The degree of convergence or divergence..

The tides are formed due to the gravitational force of attraction between the earth, sun and moon. During high tides sea water is trapped in a reservoir, and released later to drive turbines, which in turn produces electricity. The block diagram given below illustrates the transformation of energy..
