What is COVID-19 (Corona)?


  • The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus, has been a global crisis that has impacted the entire world in unprecedented ways. The virus was first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and quickly spread across the globe, leading to widespread illness, death, and economic disruption.
  • One of the most challenging aspects of the pandemic has been the speed at which it has spread. Despite efforts to contain the virus through travel restrictions and other measures, it quickly spread to countries around the world. This rapid spread has put tremendous pressure on healthcare systems, which have struggled to keep up with the demand for care.
  • The pandemic has also been marked by significant economic disruption, with businesses forced to close and workers laid off as governments implemented lockdowns and other restrictions to slow the spread of the virus. The resulting economic downturn has been felt around the world, with some countries experiencing record-high unemployment rates and significant declines in GDP.
  • As the pandemic has continued, scientists have worked tirelessly to develop treatments and vaccines to fight the virus. While progress has been made, there is still much that is unknown about the virus, including the long-term health effects of infection and the potential for new variants of the virus to emerge.
  • Throughout the pandemic, governments around the world have implemented a range of measures to slow the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact. These measures have included lockdowns, mask mandates, and social distancing requirements. While these measures have been effective in slowing the spread of the virus, they have also been controversial, with some people pushing back against restrictions on their freedom.
  • The pandemic has also highlighted many social and economic disparities, with marginalized communities and low-income individuals often bearing the brunt of the pandemic's impact. The virus has also disproportionately affected people with underlying health conditions, the elderly, and essential workers.
  • Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenging and difficult time for people around the world. While there is still much work to be done to fully understand and combat the virus, there is hope that with continued research, vaccination efforts, and global cooperation, we can eventually bring an end to this global crisis.
  • Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, there have also been moments of resilience and hope. Healthcare workers around the world have worked tirelessly to care for those affected by the virus, and communities have come together to support each other in the face of adversity.
  • As we continue to navigate the pandemic and its aftermath, it is clear that the world has been forever changed by this global crisis. However, with continued efforts to understand and combat the virus, and a renewed emphasis on preparedness and response, there is hope that we can emerge from this crisis stronger and more resilient than ever before.

  Experiment: Measurement of ABCD parameters of a long transmission line with magnitude and angle. Appratus:  variable Voltage Source (Variac) 230V AC with 2-Pole S/W No of  π  sections: 4 (100Km each) value of each component: Resistance = 4 Ohm; Capacitance = 0.47 microF; Inductance: 110mH. Voltmeter: 230 V AC  (2 Nos) Ammeter: 5 A (2 Nos) Watt meter: 300V, 5A  (1 Nos) Theory: ABCD Parameters of a Two Port Network In any 4 terminal network, (i.e. linear, passive, bilateral network) the input voltage and input current can be expressed in terms of output voltage and output current. Each port has 2 terminals to connect itself to the external circuit. Thus it is essentially a 2 port or a 4 terminal circuit, having: Given to the input port PQ. Given to the output port RS. Now the ABCD parameters of the transmission line provide the link between the supply and receiving end voltages and currents, considering the circuit elements to be linear in nature. Thu...

 Power System Experiment :  Measurement of ABCD parameters of a medium transmission line with magnitude and angle. Appratus:  variable Voltage Source (Variac) 230V AC with 2-Pole S/W No of  π sections: 2 (100Km each) value of each component: Resistance = 4 Ohm; Capacitance = 0.47 microF; Inductance: 110mH. Voltmeter: 230 V AC  (2 Nos) Ammeter: 5 A (2 Nos) Watt meter: 300V, 5A  (1 Nos) Theory: Medium Transmission Line A transmission line having a length of more than 80 kms but less than 250 kms is considered as a medium transmission line. The parameters (Resistance, Inductance, and Capacitance) are distributed uniformly along the line. For a  medium transmission line, charging current is appreciable and due to the length of the line the shunt admittance plays a significant role in the calculation of the effective parameters of the line. The shunt admittance and series impedance are considered as a lumped parameter of the medium transmission line. T...

 Experiment:  Performance study of the effect of VAR compensation using capacitor bank on the transmission line. Apparatus :  variable Voltage Source (Variac) 230V AC with 2-Pole S/W Transmission line model of  π  sections:  (100Km each) value of each component: Resistance = 4 Ohm; Capacitance = 0.47 microF; Inductance: 110mH. Voltmeter: 230 V AC (2 Nos) Ammeter: 5 A (2 Nos) Theory: Power system supply or consumes both active and reactive power. While it is the Active power that contributes to the energy consumed or transmitted, reactive power does not contribute to the energy. Reactive power is either generated or consumed in almost every component of the system. Reactive power compensation is defined as the management of reactive power to improve the performance of AC systems. Why reactive power compensation is required? 1. To maintain the voltage profile 2. To reduce the equipment loading 3. To reduce the losses 4. To economics 5. To Improve P...
