Answer:
You need a 120V to 24V commercial transformer (transformer 1:5), a 100 ohms resistance, a 1.5 K ohms resistance and a diode with a minimum forward current of 20 mA (could be 1N4148)
Step by step design:
- Because you have a 120V AC voltage supply you need an efficient way to reduce that voltage as much as possible before passing to the rectifier, for that I recommend a standard 120V to 24V transformer. 120 Vrms = 85 V and 24 Vrms = 17V = Vin
- Because 17V is not 15V you still need a voltage divider to step down that voltage, for that we use R1 = 100Ω and R2 = 1.3KΩ. You need to remember that more than 1 V is going to be in the diode, so for our calculation we need to consider it. Vf = (V*R2)/(R1+R2), V = Vin - 1 = 17-1 = 16V and Vf = 15, Choosing a fix resistance R1 = 100Ω and solving the equation we find R2 = 1.5KΩ
- Finally to select the diode you need to calculate two times the maximum current and that would be the forward current (If) of your diode. Imax = Vf/R2 = 10mA and If = 2*Imax = 20mA
Our circuit meet the average voltage (Va) specification:
Va = (15)/(pi) = 4.77V considering the diode voltage or 3.77V without considering it
The correct answer is A. Earning a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from a four-year university, completing an internship, and seeking a job at a private firm.
Explanation:
In the U.S. and many countries, the best to start a career is to enroll in a formal educational program at a university or college. This helps students learn concepts, theories, methods, etc. they need for their profession. Moreover, a degree such as a bachelor's degree is required by employers. In this context, the first step for Connor is to earn a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering.
Besides this, an internship is recommended after earning a degree because this is the way students can gain real-life work experience, which is considered positive by employers. This means the next step should be an internship.
Finally, Connor can seek a job to design bridges and other buildings because after the degree and internship he will have the experience and knowledge required by employers and by the job.
Answer:
Both a and b.
Explanation:
HID headlamps require high voltage ignition to start just like street lamps. It requires almost 25,000 volts to start HID head lamps but require only 80 to 90 volts to keep it operating.
Centrifugal pump is a hydraulic machine which converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by the use of centrifugal force acting on the fluid. These are the most popular and commonly used type of pumps for the transfer of fluids from low level to high level.
