ANSWERS TO ODD QUESTIONS

CHAPTER 2

1. It is the opposition of line conductors to the current flow. The resistance is distributed uniformly along the whole length of the line.

3. The capacitance of a capacitor is defined as the charge per unit potential difference. capacitance,

5. Capacitance, images

7. The alternating magnetic flux in a conductor caused by the current flowing in a neighbouring conductor gives rise to circulating currents, which cause an apparent increase in the resistance of a conductor. This phenomenon is called proximity ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
