Does core losses in a transformers depend on voltage?

The most contributing factor to core losses in transformers is the material on which they are wound. Transformers wound on iron cores are roughly 75% efficient but they can transfer large amounts of power at low frequency. Transformers wound on ferrite are typically better then 90% efficient but can't be used to transfer the same amount of power unless the frequency is increased. Switch mode power supplies do this. After that, the voltage, impedance and current are all related. If you increase the current (by increasing the voltage) there are more losses because the magnetic field strength is not directly proportional to the current. The impedance remains the same for the same number of turns. Transformers are wound to the best compromise between efficiency and transfer capability. If you try to increase the voltage too much, the core will saturate and behave like a straight piece of wire.


What causes the constriction in the condensed chromosome?

The Dna comprised chromosomes are wound around protein Histone Cores that are then in turn wound into a ten nanometer diameter strand that is then, in turn, wound into a thirty nanometer diameter strand - hense constriction.


What is spring index for compression spring in genaral loading?

The spring index is the ratio (C) of the coil diameter (D) to wire diameter (d), such that C = D/d. A tightly wound spring (where a relatively large wire diameter is wound around a relatively small diameter mandrel) will have a low spring index. Note: The spring index (C) should not be confused with the spring rate, which is the ratio (k) of the force (F) to displacement (x), such that k = F/x.


What does a screw worm wound look like on a dog?

Its a circular wound moist all around and at a closer look you will notice movements within the wound. The diameter of the wound will gradually enlarge. The worms can also be visible within the wound.

What are some tips when healing a wound?

Some of the basic steps in wound care include: cleaning the wound (warm water works well), applying an antibiotic cream or salve on the wound and then applying a bandage to cover it. If it is a large or serious wound, you may want to see your doctor.

How do you care large wounds?

you should ask a doctor or plastic surgenAnswer:If you have a large wound that has not healed for 8 weeks, it's considered to be a chronic, non-healing wound. It's best to go to a local wound care center, NJ and get the proper treatment as soon as possible. There may be reasons for slow wound healing and a doctor will be able to pinpoint these causes and administer the right treatment.


Why do large wounds normally leave a scar?

Large wounds can leave a scar because the healing process involves the production of collagen fibers, which can be thicker and more pronounced in larger wounds. This excess collagen may lead to the formation of a scar as the skin repairs itself. Additionally, the skin may not be able to regenerate perfectly, resulting in a visible mark on the skin.


Wound that keeps opening draining pus?

It may mean that the wound is healing properly and your body is simply expelling any fluid that could prevent the wound from getting better. On the other hand, if the wound is draining a large amount of pus, it could mean that the wound itself is becoming infected, in which case, it would be best to see a doctor.
