Such plants normally run forshort durations and, therefore, their efficiency is asecondary consideration.28:- (c) When a conductor is moved towards thenorth pole of a bar magnet, if will experience achange of magnetic flux as a result of which therewill be an induced emf. This emf will give rise to aninduced current in the conductor, in a direction(determined by Lenzs law) that will oppose themovement of the conductor. Such currents arecalled eddy currents.In general, eddy currents occur in conductors thatexperience a change of flux. This fluxchange can be due either to the mechanicalmotion in a magnetic field as in the armature of amotor,or to a changing current in the wires woundaround the soft iron core of a transformer. In bothcases,

    eddy currents cause i2 R losses due to heating.These can be minimized by laminating the ironcore,i.e., building it up with thin sheets covered by athin coating of insulating varnish. This reduces theeddy currents.29:- (d) Magnetizing current is usually non-sinusoidal at the flux density values normallyused; andunder no load condition, the total currentcomprises magnetizing current and core losscomponentcorrect.

Since the same current flows through therheostat, the resistance of the rheostat must be 90

    / 3= 30 ohms.When the voltage drop across the load is 50 V, thevoltage drop in the rheostat must be 120 50 = 70volts. Since the same current flows through therheostat, the resistance of the rheostat must be 70/5=14 ohms.
