The cost of spoiled food in your freezer and refrigerator is a significant
investment! The loss of your food supplies once or twice a
year can easily justify the cost of an emergency generator!.
It is very similar to an electrical resistance.
For example, if
we double the length of the pipe, the flow of water will decrease
to about half its previous value. There's twice as much pipe, therefore
twice as much resistance. If we make the pipe thinner, this will
also slow down the flow.
This is true of electrical cables as well.
A longer cable has more resistance than a shorter one, and a thin
cable has more resistance than a fat one (but of course it is the
thickness of copper that is important, not the thickness of the
insulating plastic). Cable sizes are expressed in terms of the cross-section
area of copper in the live and neutral conductors, measured in square |

we need a power source, and some sort of conductor. A conductor
is defined as anything that can carry a flow of electricity. In
electrical practice, conductors tend to be copper wire or copper
bars, usually hidden away inside plastic sleeves. The sleeves are
insulators, that is, materials that prevent the flow of electricity.
It is the insulator that keeps the electrical current where it belongs
- inside the cable. |
Electric Generator Store , the height of the
water tank is analogous to the voltage. If we double the height
of the tank (from the end of the pipe), this is equivalent to doubling
the voltage. If we do this, all other things being equal, the water
will flow down the pipe twice as fast as before. This is why, if
you have a water tank in your attic, you will usually get a greater
flow of water from a downstairs tap than from an upstairs tap: the
height of the water tank above the tap is about twice as large.
The flow of water through the pipe is analogous |
