What is the purpose of a circuit breaker?

1 answer:

8 0

It’s designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent, usually resulting from an overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.

That’s really just the basic purpose.

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V. What are (a) the total energy stored i

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

(A) Total energy will be equal to $0.044\times 10^{-5}J$

(b) Energy density will be equal to $0.0175J/m^3$

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the plate d = 2 cm = 0.02 m

So area of the plate $A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.02^2=0.001256m^2$

Distance between the plates d = 0.50 mm = $0.50\times 10^{-3}m$

Permitivity of free space $\epsilon _0=8.85\times 10^{-12}F/m$

Potential difference V =200 volt

Capacitance between the plate is equal to $C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.001256}{0.50\times 10^{-3}}=0.022\times 10^{-9}F$

(a) Total energy stored in the capacitor is equal to

$E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

$E=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.022\times 10^{-9}\times 200^2=0.044\times 10^{-5}J$

(b) Volume will be equal to $V=Ad$ , here A is area and d is distance between plates

$V=0.001256\times 0.02=2.512\times 10^{-5}m^3$

So energy density $=\frac{Energy}{volume}=\frac{0.044\times 10^{-5}}{2.512\times 10^{-5}}=0.0175J/m^3$

If element x has 44 protons how many electrons does it have?

Jlenok [28]

The correct answer is '44'.

In fact, the atom of an element has an equal number of protons and electrons: therefore, if element X has 44 protons, it should have 44 electrons as well.

For curiosity: the chemical element with 44 protons and 33 electrons is Ruthenium.

A woman does 236 J of work

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

work-done in dragging the trash= 236J

applied force= 18.9N

distance moved= 24.4m

Required

The angle of the applied force

Step two:

We know that work done is

WD= F * distance

<em>The work is the product of the horizontal component of the force and the distance. </em>

Horizontal force = 236 ÷ 24.4

= 9.67 N

Cos θ = Horizontal force ÷ Actual force

Cos θ = (236 ÷ 24.4) ÷ 18.9 = 236 ÷ 461.16

The angle is approximately 59˚
