The Status of Engineers in Society Since the mid 1800s the government has debated the perennial question ‘what is the status of engineers in society?’ Even as recently as 5 years ago an new report was commissioned by the government to ask the very same question as almost their fellow MPs asked almost 150 years ago. The question itself is problematic as the very definition of an engineer is still hotly debated. It must be understood however that engineers vitally contribute to global challenges;

blue dots represent the flow of electrons. They are moving because they are experiencing an electric current force within the wire. Explain what a battery does in an electrical circuit? Refer to page 606 in your textbook. (3 points) A battery provides a source of electrical energy. A battery also converts chemical energy to electrical energy. Batteries have two voltage sources that have terminals that connect to wires in a circuit. One terminal is positive and another one is negative. Click in

Electrical Machines I Prof. Krishna Vasudevan‚ Prof. G. Sridhara Rao‚ Prof. P. Sasidhara Rao 2 Basic Principles As mentioned earlier the transformer is a static device working on the principle of Faraday’s law of induction. Faraday’s law states that a voltage appears across the terminals of an electric coil when the flux linkages associated with the same changes. This emf is proportional to the rate of change of flux linkages. Putting mathematically‚ e= dψ dt (1) Where‚ e is the induced
