  2. Joule heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_heating

    Joule heating (also known as resistive, resistance, or Ohmic heating) is the process by which the passage of an electric current through a conductor produces heat.. Joule's first law (also just Joule's law), also known in countries of the former USSR as the Joule–Lenz law, [1] states that the power of heating generated by an electrical conductor equals the product of its resistance and the ...

  3. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    Simplified model for powering a load with resistance R L by a source with voltage V S and resistance R S.. The theorem was originally misunderstood (notably by Joule [4]) to imply that a system consisting of an electric motor driven by a battery could not be more than 50% efficient, since the power dissipated as heat in the battery would always be equal to the power delivered to the motor when ...

    The cold resistance of tungsten-filament lamps is about 1 ⁄ 15 the resistance when operating. For example, a 100-watt, 120-volt lamp has a resistance of 144 ohms when lit, but the cold resistance is much lower (about 9.5 ohms). [76] [b] Since incandescent lamps are resistive loads, simple phase-control TRIAC dimmers can be used to control ...

  5. Copper–tungsten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper–tungsten

    When the contact is very fine grained (VFG), the electrical conductivity is much higher than a normal piece of copper tungsten. [6] Copper tungsten is a good choice for a vacuum contact due to its low cost, resistance to arc erosion, good conductivity, and resistance to mechanical wear and contact welding.

  7. Heating element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

    Resistance ribbon heating elements are made by flattening round resistance wire, giving them a rectangular cross-section with rounded corners. [8]: 54 Generally ribbon widths are between 0.3 and 4 mm. If a ribbon is wider than that, it is cut out from a broader strip and may instead be called resistance strip. Compared to wire, ribbon can be ...

  8. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Tensile stress is the stress state caused by an applied load that tends to elongate the material along the axis of the applied load, in other words, the stress caused by pulling the material. The strength of structures of equal cross-sectional area loaded in tension is independent of shape of the cross-section.

  9. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current.
