Listen and answer N° 3 (DC rotating machine)
The following questions are guide lines for your exposé.
Give a full description of the circuit.
Give the value of current’s intensity I and the potential difference U for the generator when the rheostat is at its maximum value.
How do I and U vary when R decreases ? Discuss.
Give the open circuit voltage of the generator.
R0 is the internal resistance of the generator. Explain how to determine on the graph the value of R0.
The 2 machines used for the experimental work are reversible. Explain the term “reversible”.
