Gear Ratios / Mechanics
Hi, I was just wondering if one had a system of 2 different gear ratios to one output shaft.
For example: Two identical motors A and B rev at 1000 rpm and have a torque of 10Nm. These motors are geared in the ratios of 2:1 and 0.5:1 respectively to the same output shaft, what would be the output torque and rpm, what would the characteristics of this setup, and does this type of system have any advantages over an ordinary system ?
Thanks in advance

Working of Inductors
What is an inductor?
terminal device or electrical component which has the capability to store energy in magnetic field.
Varying the current flowing in the inductor with time produces or induces a voltage in the coil in accordance with the faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction which states that an EMF proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux is induced in the coil or the closed circuit . This voltage according to the Lenz’s Law opposes the change in current which created it.
Inductors are the basic electrical components used in electric circuits which require the value of the current and voltage flowing through it to be changed with time. Inductors possess properties to delay and reshape the alternating current.
How an inductor works?
Let us consider a circuit with a battery , a switch , a light bulb , a coil of wire wound around a piece of Iron . The coil of wire used here is an inductor with an Iron core. Now if we take this circuit without the inductor, the bulb lights up normally but if the inductor is taken into consideration the behavior of the circuit is totally different.
The light bulb acts as a resistor .The wire used here has a low resistance and one can expect that the current shall follow the low resistance path and bulb will be very dimly lit up. But what happens is that when we close the switch the bulb burns brightly and gets dimmer. When the switch is open the bulb lights up brightly and turns off quickly.
This happens due to the presence of inductor.
When current flows into the coil, a magnetic field is set up. While this field is developing, the coil stops the flow of current and allows the current to flow once the field is setup. When we open the switch, magnetic field present keeps the current flowing in the circuit and this current goes off as the magnetic field in this coil collapses.
This shows the fact that the inductor stores energy in the magnetic field and the inductors resist any change in the value of current flowing through it.
Capacity of an inductor depends upon the following four factors

- HenryStandard unit of inductance is Henry. Named after a scientist Joseph Henry who discovered electromagnetic induction with Faraday.
Capacity of an inductor depends upon the following four factors
- Number of coils – More the number of coils more is the inductance.
- The Material around which the coil is wrapped (core)
- Cross Sectional Area of the coil - Larger the area, more the inductance.
- Length of the coil –smaller the coil, more the inductance as smaller coil means narrower coils.The formula for calculating the capacity of an inductor is given by
H= 4π X number of turns X area of coil X mu / coil lengthwhere mu is permeability of core. Permeability of air is 1 while that of steel is 2000. - Applications Of Inductors
- Used extensively in analog circuits and processing of the signal.
- Along with capacitors in many tuning circuits.
- Used in transformers to have coupled magnetic flux from two or more inductors.
- In switch mode power supplies, inductors are used to store energy.
- In electrical transmission systems to reduce the voltage from lightning strikes and to limit switching as well as fault currents.

A Problem from Optics - Reflection of light
Convex and concave mirrors have same radii of curvature R. The distance between the mirrors is 2R. At what point on the common optical axis of the mirrors should a point source of light A be placed for the rays to converge at the point A after being reflected first on the convex and then on the concave mirror?

Quick Revision for Class X Physics SA1
CHAPTER -12 ELECTRICITY
GIST OF THE LESSON
- Positive and negative charges: The charge acquired by a glass rod when rubbed with silk is called positive charge and the charge acquired by an ebonite rod when rubbed with wool is called negative charge.
- Coulomb: It is the S.I. unit of charge. One coulomb is defined as that amount of charge which repels an equal and similar charge with a force of 9 x 109 N when placed in vacuum at a distance of 1 meter from it. Charge on an electron = -1.6 x 10-19 coulomb.
- Static and current electricities: Static electricity deals with the electric charges at rest while the current electricity deals with the electric charges in motion.
- Conductor: A substance which allows passage of electric charges through it easily is called a ‘conductor’. A conductor offers very low resistance to the flow of current. For example copper, silver, aluminium etc.
- Insulator: A substance that has infinitely high resistance does not allow electric current to flow through it. It is called an ‘insulator’. For example rubber, glass, plastic, ebonite etc.
- Electric current: The flow of electric charges across a cross-section of a conductor constitutes an electric current. It is defined as the rate of flow of the electric charge through any section of a conductor.
Electric current = Charge/Time or I = Q/t
Electric current is a scalar quantity.
- Ampere: It is the S.I. unit of current. If one coulomb of charge flows through any section of a conductor in one second, then current through it is said to be one ampere. 1 ampere = 1 coulomb/1 second or 1 A = 1C/1s = 1Cs-1 1 milliampere = 1 mA = 10-3 A 1 microampere = 1µA = 10-6 A
- Electric circuit: The closed path along which electric current flows is called an ‘electric circuit’.
- Conventional current: Conventionally, the direction of motion of positive charges is taken as the direction of current. The direction of conventional current is opposite to that of the negatively charged electrons.
- Electric field: It is the region around a charged body within which its influence can be experienced.
