The cost of electricity be $ 38.544.

<h3>What is electricity?</h3>

Electricity is the passage of charges in a conductor. From one end of the terminal to the other, charges are transmitted. Usually, the terminal moves from positive to negative. Since the nucleus holds the electrons loosely, they can move freely throughout the body.

Watts are units of power used to measure electrical output.

Price of electricity is $ 0.110 per kWh .

If a 40-W porch light on day and night for a year, total amount of electricity spend = power of the bulb × time

= 40 W × 1 year

= 40 W × 365 day

= 40 W × 365 ×24 h

= 350400 Wh

= 350.4 kWh.

Hence, the cost of electricity be = $350.4 × 0.110 = $ 38.544.

Calculate the self-inductance (in mH) of a 45.0 cm long, 10.0 cm diameter solenoid having 1000 loops. mH (b) How much energy (in

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

(a) The self inductance, L = 21.95 mH

(b) The energy stored, E = 4.84 J

Explanation:

(a) Self inductance is calculated as;

$L = \frac{N^2 \mu_0 A}{l}$

where;

N is the number of turns = 1000 loops

μ is the permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ H/m

l is the length of the inductor, = 45 cm = 0.45 m

A is the area of the inductor (given diameter = 10 cm = 0.1 m)

$A = \pi r^2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi \times (0.1)^2}{4} = 0.00786 \ m^2$

$L = \frac{(1000)^2 \times (4\pi \times 10^{-7}) \times (0.00786)}{0.45} \\\\L = 0.02195 \ H\\\\L = 21.95 \ mH$

(b) The energy stored in the inductor when 21 A current ;

$E = \frac{1}{2}LI^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} \times (0.02195) \times (21) ^2\\\\E = 4.84 \ J$

$emf = L \frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t} \\\\t = \frac{LI}{emf} \\\\t = \frac{0.02195 \times 21}{3} \\\\t = 0.154 \ s$
