Answer:

(a) 43.2 kC

(b) 0.012V kWh

(c) 0.108V cents

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • i = current flow = 3 A
  • t = time interval for which the current flow = 4\ h = 4\times 3600\ s = 14400\ s
  • V = terminal voltage of the battery
  • R = rate of energy = 9 cents/kWh

<u>Assume:</u>

  • Q = charge transported as a result of charging
  • E = energy expended
  • C = cost of charging

Part (a):

We know that the charge flow rate is the electric current flow through a wire.

\therefore i = \dfrac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow Q =it\\\Rightarrow Q = 3\times 14400\\\Rightarrow Q = 43200\ C\\\Rightarrow Q = 43.200\ kC\\

Hence, 43.2 kC of charge is transported as a result of charging.

Part (b):

We know the electrical energy dissipated due to current flow across a voltage drop for a time interval is given by:

E = Vit\\\Rightarrow E = V\times 3\times 4\\\Rightarrow E = 12V\ Wh\\\Rightarrow E = 0.012V\ kWh\\

Hence, 0.012V kWh is expended in charging the battery.

Part (c):

We know that the energy cost is equal to the product of energy expended and the rate of energy.

\therefore \textrm{Cost}=\textrm{Energy}\times \textrm{Rate}\\\Rightarrow C = ER\\\Rightarrow C = 0.012V\times 9\\\Rightarrow C =0.108V\ cents

Hence, 0.108V cents is the charging cost of the battery.

erastova [34]

Answer:

*  most of the emission would be in the infrared part, the visible radiation would be very small.

*total intensity of the semition decreases that the intensity depends on the fourth power of the temperature

Explanation:

The radiation emitted by the Sun is approximately the radiation of a black body, if the Sun were to cool, the maximum emission wavelength changes

          λ T = 2,898 10⁻³

          λ = 2,898 10⁻³ / T

if the temperature decreases the maximum wavelength the greater values ​​are moved, that is to say towards the infrared. Therefore the emission curve also moves, in this case most of the emission would be in the infrared part, the visible radiation would be very small.

Furthermore, the total intensity of the semition decreases that the intensity depends on the fourth power of the temperature according to Stefan's law

           P = σ A eT⁴
