BM1251 ELECTRIC FIELDS AND MACHINES

AIM
To give the necessary background to understand various laws and equations governing electric and magnetic fields.

OBJECTIVES
• To study in detail the steady electric field and steady magnetic field.
• To understand the variation in the equations while analysing the electric / magnetic field in time varying condition from the steady state condition.
• To study the measurements to be made to access the electrical parameters related to both electric and magnetic field.
• To understand the working of various electrical machines in both AC and DC excitation.
