When one quantity is proportional to another, it indicates that one quantity is dependent on the other by a factor and increases/decreases with the other quantity. When the two quantities are equal, the output of both the quantities is said to be the same.

Difference between a proportional solenoid and a conventional on off solenoid?
1.) in conventional solenoid , the force is not costant...wheras in proportional .it is. 2.) proportional valve fills the gap between conventional and servo valves 3.) proportional valve can take infinite spool positions 4.)proportional valve cannot take high degree if valve performance
What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
The energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency; the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength (since frequency x wavelength = speed of light, which is constant); thus, the energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
What difference does distance make on the magnetic force of attraction between two magnets?
Magnetic force of attraction is invesely proportional to distance between two poles.
What is the difference between proportional and non proportional relationship?
In mathematics, or physics, if one quantity is proportional to the other, that means that if one quantity increases by a certain factor, the other quantity increases by the same factor. For example, if"y" is proportional to "x", and "x" increases by a factor 10, then "y" must also increase by a factor 10. Any relationaship that does NOT follow this rule is NOT proportional.
The difference between actual and standard cost caused by the difference between the actual quantity and the standard quantity is called the?

When a rate of change varies from point to point the relationship is what?
it is a proportional relationship because a proportional relationship is known as a relationship between two quantities in which the ratio of one quantity to the other quantity is constant.
How can you tell the difference between a graph in which one variable is directly proportional to another and a graph in which two variables vary inversely?
1. You can tell the difference because the proportional one has the same slope while the inversely one has opposite reciprocal slope.
What is the difference between congruent and proportional sides?

What is the difference between factors and coefficient?
The difference between factors and coefficient is very distinct. A factor is a quantity which is multiplied with another to give a particular number as the result. A coefficient on the other hand is a multiplier that measures property.
Difference between change in supply and change in quantity supply?
no
