Discuss the production, transmission, and usage of electricity in the context of conservation of energy. When electricity is “us

ed” or we say that energy is “wasted,” what is actually happening?

There are huge losses in the transmission, production and usage of electricity and the reduction of these losses in order to save electricity is called as conservation of energy.

As per the statistics, there is loss of nearly 4% while the transmission of electricity. Like wise during production also, lot of electricity get wasted due to the inefficient material used. None of the production material nor the equipment used have 100% efficiency and thus there is always a possibility of energy wastage.

When it is said that the energy is wasted , it simply means that the energy production which should have been 100% as per calculation is not completely derived from the source due to the inefficient conversion process. For example, a turbine while rotating must convert 100 % of the water energy or water falling on it into electrical energy but the turbine is not able to do so as some of the water is lost or its energy is lost before conversion while going through the mechanical process.

1) draw a simple circuit with a voltage source and four resistors wired in series
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1)

In this circuit (see attachment #1), we have:

- A voltage source: in this case, we choose a battery. A voltage source is a device producing an electromotive force (in a battery, this is done by means of a chemical reaction), which is responsible for "pushing" the electrons along the circuit and creating a current. The electromotive force (emf) of the battery is also called voltage, and it is indicated with the letter V.

- Four resistors: a resistor is a device which opposes to the flow of current. The property that describes by "how much" the resistor "opposes" to the flow of current is called "resistance", and it is indicated with the letter R.

- In this circuit, the 4 resistors are in series. Resistors are said to be in series when they are connected along the same branch of the circuit, so that the same current flow across each of them.

- For resistors in series, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by the sum of the individual resistances:

R=R_1+R_2+...+R_n

2)

In this circuit (see attachment #2), we have:

- A voltage source: as before, we have chosen a battery, providing an electromotive  force to the circuit

- Three resistors wired in parallel. Resistors are said to be connected in parallel when they are connected along different branches, but with their terminals connected to the same point, so that each of them has the same potential difference across it.

- For resistors in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is calculated using the formula:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}

3)

In this circuit (see attachment #3), we have:

- A voltage source (again, we have choosen a battery)

- Three resistors, of which:

-- 2 of them are connected in parallel with each other

-- the 3rd one it is in series with the first two

If we call R_1,R_2 the resistances of the first 2 resistors in parallel, their equivalent resistance is:

\frac{1}{R_{12}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\rightarrow R_{12}=\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}

Then, these two resistors are connected in series with resistor R_3; and so, the total resistance of this circuit will be:

R=R_{12}+R_3=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}+R_3=\frac{R_1R_2+R_3(R_1+R_2)}{R_1+R_2}

4)

In this circuit (see attachment #4), we have:

- A voltage source (again, a battery)

- We have 6 resistors, which are arranged as follows:

-- Two branches each containing 3 resistors

-- The two branches are in parallel with each other

So, the total resistance of the two branches are:

R_{123}=R_1+R_2+R_3

R_{456}=R_4+R_5+R_6

And since the two branches are in parallel, their total resistance will be:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{123}}+\frac{1}{R_{456}}\\\rightarrow R=\frac{R_{123}R_{456}}{R_{123}+R_{456}}=\frac{(R_1+R_2+R_3)(R_4+R_5+R_6)}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4+R_5+R_6}

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.55 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a
Ksju [112]

Answer:

M_1 = 317.7 kg

Explanation:

Mass of the helium gas filled inside the volume of balloon is given as

m = \rho V

m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)

m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3)

m = 210.7 kg

now total mass of balloon + helium inside balloon is given as

M = 210.7 + 990

M = 1200.7 kg

now we know that total weight of balloon + cargo = buoyancy force on the balloon

so we will have

(M + M_1)g = \rho_{air} V g

(1200.7 + M_1) = (\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3) (1.29)

1200.7 + M_1 = 1518.4

M_1 = 317.7 kg
