It is a DC voltage that is applied to the generator's revolving field windings. This produces a magnet field that cuts the generators main coil windings, inducing an electrical current within the main generator windings.

A Traveling wave of excitation is what you know as?

A traveling wave of excitation is commonly known as an action potential. It is a brief electrical impulse that travels along the length of a nerve cell or muscle fiber, allowing for rapid communication and coordination within the body.


An atom that undergoes excitation and de-excitation emits?

An atom that undergoes excitation and de-excitation emits photons of light. When an electron in an atom absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level (excitation), it eventually returns to its original state (de-excitation) and emits a photon of light corresponding to the energy difference between the two levels.

What is it called when electrons jump to higher energy level?

This process is called excitation, where electrons absorb energy and move to higher energy levels within an atom.


Why is measurement made at right angles to the direction of the incident radiation in luminescence spectroscopy?

In luminescence spectroscopy, measurements are taken at right angles to the direction of the incident radiation to minimize the detection of scattered light and enhance the signal from emitted luminescence. This configuration helps to reduce background noise and improves the signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for more accurate measurements of the emitted light. Additionally, it ensures that the detected signal is primarily due to the sample's luminescence rather than reflections or scattering from the excitation source.

How do you calculate excitation frequency?

Excitation frequency can be calculated as the reciprocal of the excitation period, which is the time interval between two consecutive excitations. The formula is: Excitation frequency = 1 / Excitation period. Alternatively, if you know the excitation waveform (e.g., sine wave), you can determine the excitation frequency from the period of that waveform.


What is meant by excitation frequency?

Excitations frequency is the frequence of the electron making a quantum spring from a higher level to an lower. In cemical reactions the excitations happens alle the time, an it happens in a frequence.

What is the wave of excitation through nerve fibers and neurons?

The wave of excitation through nerve fibers and neurons is known as an action potential. It is an electrochemical signal that allows for the transmission of information within the nervous system. This process involves the movement of ions across the cell membrane, resulting in the propagation of the action potential along the length of the nerve fiber or neuron.

Electrical excitation of muscle fiber?

Electrical excitation of a muscle fiber. Skeletal muscle fibers (cells) can be stimulated either by amotor neuron in the body or by a voltage stimulator in the lab. Stimulation given by either method results in a depolarization of the sarcolemma. If the depolarization reaches threshold, an action potential (electrical signal) is initiated.

What is the difference between generator over excitation versus under excitation when attached to the grid?

Over Excitation is a condition when the Excitation System is providing too much field current and as a result, the rotor of the generator will over heat. The Excitation System is equipped with an Over Excitation Limiter. This limiter acts to reduce the Excitation Current if this condition exists Underexcitation is a condition when the generator is not getting enough Excitation Current. If the generator does not get enough Excitation Current, it can be un-synchronized with the grid. We call this slipping a pole. If this occurs, the generator can be severely damaged.
