When calculating the power bill, power companies use _____.

1 answer:

5 0

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. When calculating the power bill, power companies use kilowatt-hours. This unit is a derived unit of energy equal to 3.6 MJ. If energy is being transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt-hours is the product of the power in kilowatts and the time.

A filamentary conductor is formed into an equilateral triangle with sides of length carrying current i . find the magnetic field

arsen [322]

magnetic field due to a finite straight conductor is given by

$B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi r}(sin\theta_1 + sin\theta_2)$

here since it forms an equilateral triangle so we will have

$\theta_1 = \theta_2 = 60 degre$

also the perpendicular distance of the point from the wire is

$r = \frac{a}{2\sqrt3}$

now from the above equation magnetic field due to one wire is given by

$B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi \frac{a}{2\sqrt3}(sin60 + sin60)$

$B = \frac{\mu_0 i*2\sqrt3}{4\pi a}(\sqrt3)$

$B = \frac{3\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}$

now since in equilateral triangle there are three such wires so net magnetic field will be

$B = \frac{9\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}$

1. A step-up transformer increases 15.7V to 110V. What is the current in the secondary as compared to the primary? Assume 100 pe

Serjik [45]

1. $I_2 = 0.14 I_1$

Explanation:

We have:

$V_1 = 15.7 V$ voltage in the primary coil

$V_2 = 110 V$ voltage in the secondary coil

The efficiency of the transformer is 100%: this means that the power in the primary coil and in the secondary coil are equal

$P_1 = P_2\\V_1 I_1 = V_2 I_2$

where I1 and I2 are the currents in the two coils. Re-arranging the equation, we find

$\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{15.7 V}{110 V}=0.14$

which means that the current in the secondary coil is 14% of the value of the current in the primary coil.

2. 5.7 V

We can solve the problem by using the transformer equation:

$\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}$

where:

Np = 400 is the number of turns in the primary coil

Ns = 19 is the number of turns in the secondary coil

Vp = 120 V is the voltage in the primary coil

Vs = ? is the voltage in the secondary coil

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers, we find:

$V_s = V_p \frac{N_s}{N_p}=(120 V)\frac{19}{400}=5.7 V$

A ball is bouncing to a height that is 1/3 of the previous height after every bounce. What kind of sequence is this? How could y

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer and Explanation:

The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence

For example let the initial height is 243 fit

After one bounce it will reach 243/3 =81 feet

After second bounce 81/3=27 feet

After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet

After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet

So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........

Here $r=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}$
