Best Answer

Arc Length depends on the secondary voltage of furnace transformer. Thumb rule is for 500V the Arc length would be 500mm(20").

The purpose of arc length is to give maximum power to the melt, without arc flare. -

What is Ramo's theorem?

it provides a way to calculate the time profile of charge collected on a electrode based on the geometry of the electrode and the motion of a charge distribution near the electrode. It basically determines the waveform (pulse shape) collected by an electrode due to the presence of a drifing charge, as would happen in, say, a solid state particle physics detector.


What electrode has a negative charge?

The cathode.


What is an electrode that has an netgative charge?

cathode


What are lithium --ion batteries and how do they work?

Lithium ion batteries use lithium metallic oxide in its positive electrode (cathode) and carbon material in its negative electrode (anode). Lithium ions inside the battery transfer between the positive electrode and the negative electrode during charge or discharge. Ms.Helen Ren


How do chemical reaction charge electrodes?

Chemical reactions occur between the electrolyte and the electrodes in an electrochemical cell. These reactions cause one electrode to become negatively charged and the other electrode to become positively charged.


What is an electrobe that has a positive charge?

Assuming this is a misspelling of "electrode" ... Electrochemistry can be confusing, because the answer depends on the type of device! In a galvanic cell (or discharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the cathode. However, in an electrolytic cell (or recharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the anode. The easiest way to keep this straight is to remember that the cathode is the one the cations (positively charged ions) migrate towards, and the anode is the one the anions (negatively charged ions) migrate towards.


How are the motions of an alpha particle and a gamma ray affected when each passes between a positively charged electrode and a negatively charged electrode?

The alpha particle is actually a helium-4 (4He++) nucleus, and it's composed of two protons and two neutrons. This gives it an overall positive charge. When directed between the electrodes as asked, its positive charge will cause it to be attracted by the negative electrode and repelled by the positive electrode. It's simple electrostatics with opposite charges attracting and like charges repelling. The gamma ray is high energy electromagnetic radiation. It will pass between the electrodes and be unaffected.


What is a resistance furnace?

An electric furnace in which the heat is developed by the passage of current through a suitable internal resistance that may be the charge itself, a resistor embedded in the charge, or a resistor surrounding the charge.


What is a difference between Anions Cations?

An anion is a negatively charged ion. A cation is a positively charged ion.Anion gets its name from the fact that anions migrate to the anode (positively charged electrode). Cation gets its name because cations migrate to the cathode (negatively charged electrode). Note, therefore, that the charge on the ion is opposite the charge of the electrode toward which it migrates. (Positive attracts negative and negative attracts positive).


If zinc electrode is dipped in zinc sulphate the electrode will become positive or negative?

if it is dipped the zinc electrode looses the electron in to the solution as zinc ions and it attains negative charge on th electrode and it absorb the positive ions in the solution.so w can see a bundle of positive ions just around the zinc electrode


What is anodize?

In Chemistry an anodic is an electroplating cell in an electrode in which it gets a negative charge as in a negative charge from a chemical reaction in a battery.
