Why are almost all large, synchronous generators rotating field generators?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Assume a hydraulic proportional valve receives a 4-20 mA signal to control the hydraulic cylinder that extends or retracts to set the position of the blade pitch between 0 and 80 degrees. What current will set the pitch to 65o?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Because the there are no slip rings or brushes (or any moving contacts) between the armature and the output terminals as in the case of a rotating armature generator.

Answer to Question 2

The range of 4-20 mA is 16 mA.

16 mA/80 degrees = 0.2 mA/degree + 4 mA offset (0.2 mA x 65 degrees + 4 mA) = 17 mA.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

To maintain good kidney function, you should drink at least 3 quarts of water daily. Water dilutes urine and helps prevent concentrations of salts and minerals that can lead to kidney stone formation. Chronic dehydration is a major contributor to the development of kidney stones.

As the western states of America were settled, pioneers often had to drink rancid water from ponds and other sources. This often resulted in chronic diarrhea, causing many cases of dehydration and death that could have been avoided if clean water had been available.
