------------ Good for you - you caught that. you are absolutely right - try [(Bl)^2/Re]V^2 =Eb^2/Re which is correct but doesn't mean anything valid. .-------------
calculation.
----------- I didn't say it needed rearranging- can you not read. I said that it IS a re-arrangement of the force equation and no more than that.
----------.
---------- No you haven't shown why. You have simply plugged numbers without justification of the numbers that you plugged.
------------- But my contention was that E and I are not in phase so EI is NOT power but VA- hypotenuse rather than base of the power triangle. EI-EI*pf as you have shown, is garbage. Using P=EI*pf is valid, provided that you use the correct pf, which you haven't.
----------
-------- Several things:
1) magnitudes alone don't tell the story. 2)You use IE( Re/Ze) which assumes that the power factor is Re/Ze. That implies that Ze is purely reactive- no resistive component- and no associated power component. This implies that there are no mechanical losses. You have noted that I^2Re =0.298 =IE (Re/Ze) which also implies that all the input power is lost in I^Re leaving nothing for mechanical power. This also says that there is no mechanical power. 3)You have attempted to get around this by using IE as input power where it is not. E and I are not in phase. This is based on wishful thinking. If IE is the power then E and I are in phase. If E and I are in phase, then how can you have a power factor which is not 1? This you have done. I don't think that you are trying to bamboozle me- you have bamboozled yourself. 4)Now you get Pmech = 0.022 which is about 23% LOWER than the 0.027 value you calculated before( which on the basis of velocity being average, is itself about 23% lower than the "actual" power-net result about 51% lower than "actual". Perpetual motion machine maybe? Don't these little inconsistencies bother you? As to the data that I used in calculations- I laid it out exactly what I used. I assumed that these values were based on measurements that you have taken. You know how you got them. I note that you have not given an analysis, starting from the mechanical force and velocity and going back to find the current and various losses, which is free from discrepancies galore. I have, at least, got consistent results and any and all errors that exist are in the data you gave me. Here is what I used as a base: E=1.41V (assumed rms in absense of other information and the fact that your meters particularly the Fluke, measure rms) M=0.0253 Kg K=1/s=3425 Rms=2.23 Re=5.78 Bl=7.17 You make a great fuss about the current not being exactly what you measured. Considering all the accumulated errors that are in the data, the results are damned good. A 2% difference in current magnitude considering the possible cumulative errors in all of the data items above is excellent and a credit to your measurements. 5 to 6% could be expected. There is also the problem of rms vs average which is still not resolved- this puts a question mark on the value of Bl. (another inconsistency). Are you telling me that your Fluke gives AC voltage and current values in terms of average values?- not according to their web site. The Simpson will be calibrated in rms for a sinusoid while the Fluke is likely true rms. Do you know what the burden of a typical Fluke meter is and what its effect on measurements? Note also that a typical Fluke will have an error margin of 1.5% of full scale +3 digits on AC current- this in itself exceeds the 2.2% difference. There is a difference between meter precision and the accuracy of measurement. You can get the wrong measurement to great precision because the meter precision is not the whole picture. Frankly, I suggest that any inconsistencies are yours. You have presented a great deal of ignorance as far as the basic principles are concerned. You have not presented any good arguments. This topic is so bloody simple that it is not necessary to go back to "xxx says' (particularly as you have avoided the question of what they actually say with regard to power). Judging by some of your misinterpretations of equations given by others as well as what I have said, I have very little faith in your understanding of the physics, the math and even ...... Oh, Hell, why go on. It is hopeless.C'est tout.
