What is the force required to break steel of 380N?

The force required to break steel can vary depending on the type of steel and its specific properties. However, for steel with a breaking strength of 380N, a force greater than 380N would be needed to break it. It is important to note that factors such as the steel's thickness, temperature, and any existing defects can also influence the force required to break it.


What is the amount of force required to break a diamond?

The amount of force required to break a diamond is about 600,000 pounds per square inch.


Which insulator does a switch use to cut off the current in a circuit?

A switch uses an insulator called an "air gap" to cut off the current flow in a circuit. When the switch is turned off, it creates a physical break in the circuit, preventing electricity from passing through.


Is escape velocity bigger than orbital velocity?

Yes, escape velocity is greater than orbital velocity. Escape velocity is the minimum speed required for an object to break free from the gravitational pull of a celestial body and move into space. Orbital velocity is the speed required for an object to maintain a stable orbit around a celestial body.


Why will a rope break if the tension is greater than the break strength?

A rope will break if the tension exceeds its break strength because the internal forces holding the rope's fibers together are unable to withstand the external force acting on it. This causes the rope to fail and break under the excessive load.

Break down voltage?

The breakdown voltage of an insulator is the minimum voltage that makes it partially conductive electrically. On the other hand, the breakdown voltage in a diode refers to the minimum reverse voltage to cause it to conduct in reverse.


Which voltage is greater in thyristor whether forward break over or reverse breakdown voltage?

It is stated that one of the voltage is greater in thyristor whether it be forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage. It is also stated that the greater of the 2 voltages in thyristor is the forward breakover voltage.


Which is greater the breakdown voltage or the barrier potential?

Breakdown voltage is far greater than barrier potential. silicon:- break-down voltage :- 5v - 450 v barrier potential ;- 0.5v to 0.7 V


Is fwd break over voltage is greater than reverse breakdown voltage i.e VboVbr?

forward breakover voltage is slightly smaller than reverse breakdown voltage

What is guard ring?

A guard ring is a circular conductor located near the bottom of a high-voltage insulator string, from where the line conductor or conductors are suspended. It's function is to evenly-distribute the potential gradient across the length of the insulator string, by preventing the concentration of electric field in the vicinity of the line conductor, which would otherwise act to break down the insulating properties of the insulator chain.


Triac break over voltage?

A: TRIAC will break over and conduct at a certain if a certain voltage is reached. That voltage depends on all different triacs devices


What is the break down voltage point for a zenerdiode?

The breakdown voltage point for a Zener diode is 17 volts


When there is a break on the circuit what is the reading?

The typical answer is current is zero when there is a break in the circuit. It depends on the complexity of the circuit, there may be other paths for the current to flow, such that if there is a break in one part of the circuit, the rest of the circuit still has current flow (but a different value than designed). If you are reading voltage, and there is a break then that will change, also depending on the complexity. If it is a single loop, and you're reading voltage before the break, your voltmeter will read the same voltage as the voltage source, since there is no current flowing between any resistors between the meter and the source. If you're reading voltage after the break then the meter will read zero (0) volts.


Is Bakelite an electrical conductor?

All materials can conduct some electricity. Bakelite, by Westinghouse, is considered an insulator in ambient conditions because it has specific resistivity in the range of many megohms per unit volume. Depending on the physical shape of the Bakelite and the amount of voltage impressed upon it, Bakelite may break down (loose its insulating properties). Under normal industrial conditions Bakelite is considered an insulator.


Explian action of zener diode as a regulator?

Zener predicatively will break down at a voltage as manufactured and sustain that voltage as long as the source can provide the current. The limitation is the zener power dissipation for each device. It Regulates by maintaining that breakdown voltage until its current is reduced or its break down voltage is reduced.


When do reactions that release energy happen?

The release of energy (exothermic reaction) happens when the energy release by forming the products of the reaction is greater than the energy required to break the bonds of the reactants.
