There should always be some type of bending loss in a fiber optic cable, whether it's a SMF or MMF cable. The reason for a bend loss being higher in SMF than MMF is that the core diameter of a SMF fiber can be significantly smaller than the core diameter of a MMF fiber, thus more of the light traveling down the SMF cable will hit the cladding at angles above the TIR angle, and more power will be lost.

Can multimode and singlemode fiber optic cable be used together?

Not really. These are two different types of fiber optic cable and are used for different reasons. In other words, you can't mix SMF and MMF fiber in the same cable, but they could be used in separate cables in the same network (although it isn't likely) MMF fiber is used for short haul interconnects, and SMF fiber is typically used for longer distances,

Definition of Quadrature axis?

Quadrature axis of a magnetomotive force is defined as that component of MMF that is directed along an axis in quadrature with the axis of the field poles.

It stands for sealed maintenance free battery. You dont need to top up it.


How is Ohm's Law for Magnetism analogous to voltage EMF?

Magnetomotive force (not 'magneticmotive force') is analogous to electromotive force, in the same way that magnetic flux is analogous to current, and reluctance is analogous to resistance. Mmf, flux, and reluctance also have the same 'Ohm's law' relationship as emf, current, and resistance. It is mmf that sets up the magnetic flux; it is the emf that sets up the current.One point worth noting is that despite mmf being measured in amperes (the product of the current flowing through a coil and the number of turns), it is still analogous to emf, and not current!

In texting, "SMF" means "so much fun". For example, "I had SMF last night at the party".


What is the phase difference between stator mmf and rotor mmf?

The phase diference is proportional to the load


What is the difference between emf and mmf?

emf is electromotive force mmf is magnetic motive force emf drives electon where as mmf drives magnetic field


Is there any bend loss in copper wire?

Yes.


Do you lose power if your computer is on power saving mode?

Yes, a small amount. If you leave it on, there will be a bigger power loss, if you turn it off or hibernate it,there will be no power loss. -- Check out my tech forum! http://www.chiller2004.netai.net/SMF/
