1. characteristic curve

   A characteristic curve, also known as a performance curve or response curve, is a graphical representation of the relationship between several variables in a system. It's often used in physics, mathematics, and engineering to depict how a particular system or component behaves under different conditions. The variables are usually the characteristic parameters of the system being analyzed, representing a range of conditions under which the system will operate. For example, in electronics, a characteristic curve may illustrate the relationship between the current and voltage in a circuit. In fluid dynamics, it could represent the relationship between the velocity and pressure of fluid in a pipe. The actual nature of the curve will depend on the system or component being studied. The curve allows users or system operators to predict or understand the performance of a system within the given range of parameters, thereby enabling an understanding of optimal operating conditions or analysis of system behavior. Overall, characteristic curves are essential tools in various fields for system design, performance prediction, and troubleshooting.

1. Characteristic Curve

   A curve indicating the variations in electro-motive force developed during the rotations of the armature of a dynamo or other generator of E. M. F. The term as used in the electrical sense is thus applied, although the indicator diagram of a steam engine may be termed its characteristic curve, and so in many other cases. As the amperes taken from a series generator are increased in number, the E. M. F. rises, it may be very rapidly up to a certain point, and thereafter more slowly. To construct the curve coordinates, q. v., are employed. The resistance of the dynamo and of the outer circuit being known, the current intensity is measured. To obtain variations in electro-motive force the external resistance is changed. Thus a number of ampere readings with varying known resistance are obtained, and for each one an electro-motive force is calculated by Ohm's law. From these data a curve is plotted, usually with volts laid off on the ordinate and amperes on the abscissa. By other methods other characteristic curves may be obtained, for which the titles under Curve may be consulted.
