Compact fluorescent bulbs are much more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescent bulbs. They initially cost m

uch more, but last far longer and use much less electricity. According to one study of these bulbs, a compact bulb that produces as much light as a 100 W incandescent bulb uses only 23.0 W of power. The compact bulb lasts 10000 hours, on the average, and costs $ 12.00, whereas the incandescent bulb costs only $ 0.76, but lasts just 750 hours. The study assumed that electricity cost $ 0.090 per kilowatt-hour and that the bulbs were on for 4.0 h per day.
Required:
a. What is the total cost (including the price of the bulbs) to run each bulb for 3.0 years?
b. How much do you save over 3.0 years if you use a compact fluorescent bulb instead of an incandescent bulb?
c. What is the resistance of a "100-W" fluorescent bulb?

b

The \  amount  \  saved \ is  \ C_S =  \$ 22.913

c

The \ resistance \  is \ R =  626.1 \Omega

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The power used by incandescent bulb P_r  =  23.0 W

    The power used by  Compact fluorescent bulb P_p  =  100W

     The life span of  Compact fluorescent bulb is  t = 1000 \  hours

    The  prices of   Compact fluorescent bulb is C_c = \$ 12

    The  prices of incandescent bulb is C_i = \$ 0.76

     The life span of   incandescent bulb is  t_k = 750   \ hours

      The cost of electricity is C_e =  \$ 0.090/ kilowatt-hour = \frac{0.090}{1000} = \$0.00009 / W / h

    The duration of daily bulb usage is t_d  =  4 \  hours

     

Generally 3 years of bulb usage  in hours is mathematically evaluated as

    t_3 =  3 *  365 *  t_d

=>   t_3 =  3 *  365 *  4

=>   t_3 =  4380 \ h

Generally the cost to power a 23W bulb for the above duration  is mathematically represented as

 Z = 23 *  t_3 * C_e

=>   Z = 23 *  4380 * 0.00009

=>   Z = \$ 9.0667

The number of Compact fluorescent bulbs required to  achieve this about of time is mathematically represented as

       N  =  \frac{t_3}{ t}

=>  N  =  \frac{4380}{1000}

=>   N  = 0.438

=>  N  \approx  1

The total cost of  usage  for the Compact fluorescent bulb   is  mathematically represented as

      C_T  =  Z +C_c

=>   C_T  =  9.0667 +12

=>   C_T  = \$ 21.067    

The number of  incandescent bulbs required to  achieve this about of time is mathematically represented as

       M =  \frac{t_3}{ t_k}

=>  M  =  \frac{4380}{750}

=>   M  = 6

Generally the cost to power a 100W bulb for the above duration  is mathematically represented as

 Z = 100 *  t_3 * C_e

=>   Z = 100 *  4380 * 0.00009

=>   Z = \$ 39.42

The total cost of  usage  for the incandescent bulbs    is  mathematically represented as

      C_t  =  C_e + [6 *C_i]

=>   C_t  =  39.42 + [0.76 *  6]

=>   C_t  = \$ 43.98    

Generally the total amount saved is mathematically represented as

   C_S =  C_t - C_T

=>   C_S =  43.98 - 21.067

=>   C_S =  \$ 22.913

Generally the resistance of the Compact fluorescent bulb is  

    R =  \frac{V^2}{P}

    R  =  \frac{120^2}{23}

R =  626.1 \Omega

Why is the perfect mechine is not possible in the real life?​
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Because the mechanical advantage of the machine is affected by friction and weight but velocity ratio is not. So, mechanical advantage is less than velocity rate. Thus, the machine's efficiency is less than 100% and can't be a perfect machine

A capacitor is formed from two concentric spherical conducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has radius 11.0 cm ,
viktelen [127]
Part A)
First of all, let's convert the radii of the inner and the outer sphere:
r_A = 11.0 cm = 0.110 m
r_B = 16.5 cm=0.165 m
The capacitance of a spherical capacitor which consist of two shells with radius rA and rB is
C=4 \pi \epsilon _0  \frac{r_A r_B}{r_B- r_A}=4\pi(8.85 \cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1}) \frac{(0.110m)(0.165m)}{0.165m-0.110m}=
=3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F

Then, from the usual relationship between capacitance and voltage, we can find the charge Q on each sphere of the capacitor:
Q=CV=(3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F)(100 V)=3.67\cdot 10^{-9}C

Now, we can find the electric field at any point r located between the two spheres, by using Gauss theorem:
E\cdot (4 \pi r^2) =  \frac{Q}{\epsilon _0}
from which
E(r) =  \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}
In part A of the problem, we want to find the electric field at r=11.1 cm=0.111 m. Substituting this number into the previous formula, we get
E(0.111m)=2680 N/C

And so, the energy density at r=0.111 m is
U= \frac{1}{2} \epsilon _0 E^2 =  \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(2680 N/C)^2=3.17 \cdot 10^{-5}J/m^3

Part B) The solution of this part is the same as part A), since we already know the charge of the capacitor: Q=3.67 \cdot 10^{-9}C. We just need to calculate the electric field E at a different value of r: r=16.4 cm=0.164 m, so
E(0.164 m)= \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=1228 N/C

And therefore, the energy density at this distance from the center is
U= \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2 =  \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(1228 N/C)^2=6.68 \cdot 10^{-6}J/m^3
