Total circuit resistance

The total circuit resistance of a groundbed installation includes cable resistance, resistance of the anode to the carbonaceous backfill plus resistance to earth of the backfill column itself. In the case of sea-water installations, the anode resistance is between the sea-water and the anode surface only. 

Once the total circuit resistance is known, applying Ohm s law the rectifier or power-source voltage can be calculated. 

The ground-bed resistance is similar to that of the total circuit resistance calculated for the design of a sacrificial system (Section 15.6.2). In this case, multiple anodes are used and the resistance of anode to ground is calculated from Sunde equation [88]. 

The total circuit resistance is equal to the sum of the resistances of all the load devices. 

Let us call the total circuit resistance Rj. From Ohm s law we know that V = l xR... 

Electronic Resistance. An approximation of the internal electronic resistance of a battery can be made by determining the OCV and the peak flash current (7) using very low resistance meters. The ammeter resistance should be low enough that the total circuit resistance does not exceed 0.01 ohm and is no more than 10% of the cell s internal resistance. The internal...

In this case the regulating resistance grids arc normally continuous duty, unlike those for stail-up, which arc short-time duty. Equations (5.1 a-d) can be used, for determining the total rotor circuit resistance for a particular speed variation, i.e. 

For the 125 kW motor of Example 5.2, if a speed reduction is required by 50% at constant torque (see also Figure 6.51) and the rotor current is now 73% of its rated value (Table 5.3), then the total rotor circuit resistance...

Although blood pressure control follows Ohm s law and seems to be simple, it underlies a complex circuit of interrelated systems. Hence, numerous physiologic systems that have pleiotropic effects and interact in complex fashion have been found to modulate blood pressure. Because of their number and complexity it is beyond the scope of the current account to cover all mechanisms and feedback circuits involved in blood pressure control. Rather, an overview of the clinically most relevant ones is presented. These systems include the heart, the blood vessels, the extracellular volume, the kidneys, the nervous system, a variety of humoral factors, and molecular events at the cellular level. They are intertwined to maintain adequate tissue perfusion and nutrition. Normal blood pressure control can be related to cardiac output and the total peripheral resistance. The stroke volume and the heart rate determine cardiac output. Each cycle of cardiac contraction propels a bolus of about 70 ml blood into the systemic arterial system. As one example of the interaction of these multiple systems, the stroke volume is dependent in part on intravascular volume regulated by the kidneys as well as on myocardial contractility. The latter is, in turn, a complex function involving sympathetic and parasympathetic control of heart rate intrinsic activity of the cardiac conduction system complex membrane transport and cellular events requiring influx of calcium, which lead to myocardial fibre shortening and relaxation and affects the humoral substances (e.g., catecholamines) in stimulation heart rate and myocardial fibre tension. 

An equivalent circuit of the three-electrode cell discussed in Chapters 6 and 7 is illustrated in Figure 9.1. In this simple model, Rr is the resistance of the reference electrode (including the resistance of a reference electrode probe, i.e., salt bridge), Rc is the resistance between the reference probe tip and the auxiliary electrode (which is compensated for by the potentiostat), Ru is the uncompensated resistance between the reference probe and the working-electrode interphase (Rt is the total cell resistance between the auxiliary and working electrodes and is equal to the sum of Rc and Ru), Cdl is the double-layer capacitance of the working-electrode interface, and Zf is the faradaic impedance of the electrode reaction. 

The external leads from the potentiostat to the electrodes may also contribute significant resistance and capacitance that must be taken into account if the cell currents are large and if fast response is desired. Most metallic working electrodes will have very low resistance, but a typical diopping-mercury electrode (DME) may have a resistance as large as 100 Q because the mercury-filled lumen of the capillary is so small (— 0.005-cm diameter). This resistance makes a contribution to the total cell resistance and to the uncompensated resistance in a three-electrode circuit.

The cathode-to-anode area ratio is frequently a critical factor in corrosion. (This is true when well-defined cathodes and anodes exist. With mixed electrode behavior, where cathodic and anodic reactions occur simultaneously, separate areas are not readily distinguishable, and Aa is assumed equal to Ac.) Discussion of the influence of this ratio will be restricted to the case of a small total-corrosion-circuit resistance leading to the anodic and cathodic reactions occurring at essentially the same potential, Ecorr, as described previously. In Fig. 4.12, three different values of corrosion current, Icorr, and corrosion potential, Ecorr, are shown for three cathode areas relative to a fixed anode area of 1 cm2. For these cases, a reference electrode placed anywhere in the solution... 

The rate of flow of heat through several resistances in series clearly is analogous to the current flowing through several electric resistances in series. In an electric circuit the potential drop over any one of several resistances is to the total potential drop in the circuit as the individual resistances are to the total resistance. In the same way the potential drops in a thermal circuit, which are the temperature differences, are to the total temperature drop as the individual thermal resistances are to the total thermal resistance. This can be expressed mathematically as...
