Question:

Suppose 79 kW is to arrive at a town over two 0.115 Ω lines. Estimate how much power is saved if the voltage is stepped up from 150 V to 1500 V and then down again, rather than simply transmitting at 150 V. Assume the transformers are each 99%% efficient. Express your ans up to two decimal points.

Answer:

Power saved = 30772.58 W or 30.77 kW

Explanation:

Since the power loss depends upon current, we need to find the current at each voltage level.

Current at 150 V:

I = P/V = 79,000/150 = 526.67 A

Current at 1500 V:

Considering transformer efficiency of 99%

79,000/0.99 = 79797.97 W

I = P/V = 79,797.97/1500 = 53.19 A

Power loss at 150 V:

P = I²R = (526.67)²*0.115 = 31898.84 W

Power loss at 1500 V:

Here we have to consider both of the losses, due to the transmission line and due to transformer itself

P = I²R = (53.19)²*0.115 = 325.35 W

So the total power at the sending end would be

Receiving end power + losses

79,000 + 325.35 = 79,325 W

Power at the input of the transformer is

79,325/0.99 = 80126.26

Power lost in the transformer is

80,126.26 - 79,000 = 1126.26 W

So the power that can be saved by stepping up the voltage from 150 to 1500 V is

Power saved = 31898.84 - 1126.26

Power saved = 30772.58 W

Power saved = 30.77 kW

A coil 4.20 cm radius, containing 500 turns, is placed in a uniform magnetic field that varies with time according to B=( 1.20×1

erma4kov [3.2K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the coil, r = 4.2 cm

Number of turns in the coil, N = 500

The magnetic field as a function of time is given by :

$B=1.2\times 10^{-2}t+2.6\times 10^{-5}t^4$

Resistance of the coil, R = 640 ohms

We need to find the magnitude of induced emf in the coil as a function of time. It is given by :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\dfrac{-d(NBA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=N\pi r^2\dfrac{-dB}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=N\pi r^2\times \dfrac{-d(1.2\times 10^{-2}t+2.6\times 10^{-5}t^4)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=N\pi r^2\times (1.2\times 10^{-2}+10.4\times 10^{-5}t^3)\\\\\epsilon=500\pi \times (4.2\times 10^{-2})^2\times (1.2\times 10^{-2}+10.4\times 10^{-5}t^3)\\\\\epsilon=2.77(1.2\times 10^{-2}+10.4\times 10^{-5}t^3)\ V$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A proton moves along the x-axis in the laboratory with velocity uy = 0.6c. An observer moves with a velocity of v=0.8c along the

Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of the proton in lab frame $u_{x} = 0.6c$

Velocity of the observer v= 0.8c

We need to calculate the velocity of the proton with respect to the observer

Using formula of velocity

$u'=\dfrac{v-u_{x}}{1-\dfrac{u_{x}v}{c^2}}$

$u'=\dfrac{0.8c-0.6c}{1-\dfrac{0.6c\times0.8c}{c^2}}$

$u'=c(\dfrac{0.8-0.6}{1-(0.8\times0.6)})$

$u'=0.385c$

(a). We need to calculate the total energy of the proton in the lab frame

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=m_{0}c^2(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{u_{x}^2}{c^2}}}-1)$

Where, Proton mass energy = m₀c²

Put the value into the formula

$K.E=938.28\times(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.6c)^2}{c^2}}}-1)$

$K.E=938.28\times(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}}-1)$

$K.E=234.57\ MeV$

(b). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the proton in the observer

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=m_{0}c^2(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{u'^2}{c^2}}}-1)$

$K.E=938.28\times(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.385)^2}{c^2}}}-1)$

$K.E=938.28\times(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(0.385)^2}}-1)$

$K.E=78.366\ MeV$

(c). We need to calculate the momentum of the proton with respect to observer

Using formula of momentum

$P_{obs}=\dfrac{m_{0}u'^2}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{u'^2}{c^2}}}$

We know that,

Proton mass energy = m₀c²

$m_{0}=\dfrac{938.28}{c^2}$

$P_{obs}=\dfrac{\dfrac{938.28}{c^2}\times(0.385c)^2}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.385c)^2}{c^2}}}$

$P_{obs}=\dfrac{938.28\times(0.385)^2}{\sqrt{1-0.385^2}}$

$P_{obs}=150.69\ MeV/c$

Hence, This is required solution.

A block of iron at 33.0°C has mass 2.30 kg. If 3.50×104 J of heat are transferred to the block, what is its resulting temperatur

spayn [35]

Answer:

66.8°C

Explanation:

dQ = m*cp*dT where:

m = mass of block

cp = specific heat of iron

dT = temperature change

-------

dQ = 3.5 10^4 J

cp = 0.45 Kj / Kg = 450 J / Kg

3.5 10^4 = 2.3 * 450 * dt-----dt = 35000 / 450 * 2.3 = 33.8 °

-------

Final temperature = 33 + 33.8 = 66.8 °C
