Evenly spaced circles on the targets used in target archery [10] or similar sports provide another familiar example of concentric circles. Coaxial cable is a type of electrical cable in which the combined neutral and earth core completely surrounds the live core(s) in system of concentric cylindrical shells. [11]
In mathematics, an annulus (pl.: annuli or annuluses) is the region between two concentric circles. Informally, it is shaped like a ring or a hardware washer. The word "annulus" is borrowed from the Latin word anulus or annulus meaning 'little ring'. The adjectival form is annular (as in annular eclipse).
A pencil of circles (or coaxial system) is the set of all circles in the plane with the same radical axis. [9] To be inclusive, concentric circles are said to have the line at infinity as a radical axis. There are five types of pencils of circles, [10] the two families
Many a science-fiction story was birthed from ice, so it’s easy to be unsettled at photos from Alaska showing concentric circles spread hundreds of feet across a frozen lake.
The two orange circles are exactly the same size; however, the one on the right appears larger. Ehrenstein illusion: The Ehrenstein illusion is an optical illusion studied by the German psychologist Walter Ehrenstein in which the sides of a square placed inside a pattern of concentric circles take an apparent curved shape. Fata Morgana (mirage)
A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from ... the region bounded by two concentric circles. ... for example, a compass
Ding Yidong magic circles – numbers on each circle (solid colour) sum to 200 and numbers on each diameter (dashed grey) sum to 325. Ding Yidong was a mathematician contemporary with Yang Hui. In his magic circle with 6 rings, the unit numbers of the 5 outer rings, combined with the unit number of the center ring, form the following magic square:
In standard presentation, azimuthal projections map meridians as straight lines and parallels as complete, concentric circles. They are radially symmetrical. In any presentation (or aspect), they preserve directions from the center point. This means great circles through the central point are represented by straight lines on the map ...
