The Intensity of solar radiation at the Earth's orbit is 1370 W/m2. However, because of the atmosphere, the curvature of the Ear

th, and rotation (night and day), the actual intensity at the Earth's surface is much lower. At this moment, let us assume the intensity of solar radiation is 750 W/m2. You have installed solar panels on your roof to convert the sunlight to electricity. A) If the area of your solar panels is 4 m2, How much power is incident on your array? Watts Submit Answer Tries 0/2 B) Unfortunately, solar panels are only about 20% efficent... Only 1/5 of the light is converted to electricity. This being the case, how much electrical power are you actually producing for your home at this moment?

Answer:

A. Power incident on panel = 3000W

B. Electrical power generated = 600W

Explanation:

Actual solar intensity I = 750W/m2

A) if area A of panel = 4m2, then,

Power incident on panel = I x A

P = 750 x 4 = 3000W

B) if panel efficiency is 20%,

Then,

Power generates = 0.2 x 3000 = 600W of electricity.

Answer:

a) 3000W

b) 600W

Explanation:

A) To solve this problem we have to use

P=IA

where I is the intensity of light and A is the area of our solar panels. By replacing we have

P=(750\frac{W}{m^2})(4m^2)=3000W

B) However we know that the panel only absorb 20% of the total power. Hence we have that the real power is

P_r=0.2IA=0.2(3000W)=600W

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

which element is reactive an element whose atoms atoms have seven valence electrons or a element whose atoms have eight valence
likoan [24]
Elements with 7 valence electrons are extremely reactive, while elements with 8 valence electrons practically don't react at all.

This is caused by the fact that all molecules want to have 8 valence electrons; that's just the scientific fact. So, if an element already has 8 valence electrons, it doesn't need to react with anything. If the element only has 7 valence electrons, however, it really wants to react with something with 1 valence electron to get to that special number 8.

An electrostatic paint sprayer has a 0.17 m-diameter metal sphere at a potential of 25.0 kV that repels charged paint droplets o
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

q=0.236uC

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter d=0.17m

Radius r=0.17/2=>0.085

Potential E=25.0kV

Generally the equation for Potential on spere is mathematically given by

E=\frac{1}{4 \pi e_0}*\frac{q}{r}

Therefore

q=\frac{25*10^3*0.085}{\frac{1}{4 \pi e_0}}

Where

\frac{1}{4 \pi e_0}=9*10^9

Therefore

q=\frac{25*10^3*0.085}{(9*10^9}}

q=0.236uC
