Magnetic Permeability
Magnetic permeability is the ability of a material to attract and repel lines of force.
- Ferromagnetic Permeability: Its value far exceeds 1. It concentrates lines of force in materials like iron.
- Paramagnetic Permeability: Its permeability is approximately 1 (they behave like a vacuum). Examples include exam paper and plastic.
- Diamagnetic Permeability: Its permeability is less than 1. The material repels the field lines.
Hysteresis
When a ferromagnetic material, upon which a magnetic

Grass Cutting Mechanism
How is the grass cut?
The grass is cut by the blades.
How is the height of the cut adjusted?
The cut is adjusted by spacers (to adjust blade height).
What is the purpose of the fan?
The purpose of the fan is to suck in air.
How do the cuttings enter the grass box?
The cuttings enter the grass box via the impeller fan.
How is power provided?
Power is provided by a power lead.
How is the motor protected from grass intake?
The motor is protected from grass intake by a grass filter.

Engine Performance: Theoretical vs. Practical Diagrams
Key Losses in Actual Motor Operation:
- Cargo pumping and drainage loss
- Gas cylinder pumping work
Theoretical vs. Practical Diagram Differences
In a practical diagram, the admission pressure remains below atmospheric pressure, and the pump exhaust exceeds the theoretical. Negative work load occurs in the cylinder.
Losses in the Cylinder
- Incomplete cylinder filling results in compression pressure lower than theoretical.
- Heat loss to the cooling circuit.

Architectural Documents and Building Permits
Different Architectural Documents
Building License: Ensures compliance with safety and comfort regulations. This license allows contractors and installers to begin work.
First Occupation License: Local authorities inspect the property to verify that the construction aligns with the approved project and adheres to all regulations. If compliant, the license is granted to the developer.
Habitability Certificate: This document, along with the first occupation

Hawley Plate: Removable Appliance and Passive Function
The Hawley plate is a removable appliance with a passive function. Its key components include:
Parts and Retainers
Retainers: These are wire elements that hold the plate in the mouth. A 0.9 mm vestibular arch wire is placed in the anterior region, contacting the most prominent part of the vestibule. The wire ends are shaped into omega loops near the canines.
Resin: The resin occupies the palatal vault, providing stability to the appliance.
