Answer:

a  average load current = 11.33 A

b rms load current = 8.02A

c true power =962.64 W

d apparent power =962.64 W

e. power factor cosθ =1

Explanation:

Vs (t) = 170 sin(377t) v

Vm =170v

Vrms = 170/√2 =120.23 v

Im = Vm/R = 170/15 = 11.33 A

Irms = Im/ √2 = 11.33/√2 =8.02A

Resistors are electronic components that consume energy

the power in a resistor is given by  P =IVcosθ ; in a resistor cosθ =1

P =IV

The electrical power consumed by a resistance, (R) is called the true or real power

and is obtained by multiplying the rms voltage with the rms current.

P= Vrms × Irms

120.03×8.02

P= 962.64 W ; true power

apparent power = Vrms × Irms

=120.03×8.02

= 962.64W ; apparent power

power factor cosθ = true power/ apparent power

cosθ = 962.64/962.64

cosθ = 1

For the purely resistive circuit, the power factor is 1 , because the reactive power is equal to zero (0).

Answer:

The instantaneous voltage (V_{s}) across the half-wave rectifier is given by

V_{s}(t) = V_{m}cos(wt + θ) V    ------------ (i)

Where V_{m} is the peak voltage and Θ is the phase angle.

Given:

V_{s}(t) = 170sin(377t) V    -------------------------(ii)

Load Resistance R = 15Ω

Comparing equations (i) and (ii)

V_{m} = 170V

(a) Average load current I_{0} = \frac{V_{0}}{R} = \frac{V_{m} }{\pi R}

Taking pi as 22/7 and substituting the values of R and V_{m} into the above equation, we have;

I_{0} = \frac{170}{\pi * 15} = 3.6A

(b) The rms load current I_{rms} = \frac{V_{m}}{2R}

Substituting the values of R and V_{m} into the equation above gives;

I_{rms} = \frac{170}{2 * 15} = 5.67A

(c). Power absorbed by the load is given by the ac and the dc.

Dc Power absorbed = \frac{V_{m} ^{2} }{\pi^{2} * R } = \frac{170^{2} }{\pi ^{2} * 15} = 195W

Ac Power absorbed = \frac{V_{rms} ^{2} }{R}

where V_{rms} = \frac{V_{m} }{2} = \frac{170}{2} = 85V

Therefore, Ac Power absorbed = \frac{85^{2} }{15} = 481.67W

(d) Apparent Power is the product of the rms values of the current and the voltage.

Apparent Power = I_{rms} * V_{rms}

Apparent Power = 5.67 * 85 = 481.95W

(e) Power factor is the ratio of the Power absorbed by load to the Apparent Power

Therefore Power factor = \frac{Power  absorbed}{Apparent Power}

Power factor = \frac{481.67}{481.95} = 0.999

PS: Power absorbed could also be called the real power

In another solar system is planet Driff, which
Fed [463]

Answer:

It is (1/5)th as much.

Explanation:

If we apply the equation

F = G*m*M / r²

where

m = mass of a man

M₀ = mass of the planet Driff

M = mass of the Earth

r₀ = radius of the planet Driff

r = radius of the Earth

G = The gravitational constant

F = The gravitational force on the Earth

F₀ = The gravitational force on the planet Driff

g = the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth

g₀ = the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planet Driff

we have

F₀ = G*m*M₀ / r₀² = G*m*(5*M) / (5*r)²    

⇒  F₀ = G*m*M / (5*r²) = (1/5)*F

If

F₀ = (1/5)*F

then

W₀ = (1/5)*W   ⇒  m*g₀ = (1/5)*m*g   ⇒   g₀ = (1/5)*g

It is (1/5)th as much.

A truck travels up a hill with a 7.5◦incline.The truck has a constant speed of 24 m/s.What is the horizontal component of thetru
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the truck's velocity is: 23.70 m/s

The vertical component of the truck's velocity is: 3.13 m/s

Explanation:

You have to apply trigonometric identities for a right triangle (because the ramp can be seen as a right triangle where the speed is the hypotenuse), in order to obtain the components of the velocity vector.

The identities are:

Cosα= \frac{CA}{H}

Senα= \frac{CO}{H}

Where H is the hypotenuse, α is the angle, CA is the adjacent cathetus and CO is the opposite cathetus

The horizontal component of the truck's velocity is:

Let Vx represent it.

In this case, CA=Vx, H=24 and α=7.5 degrees

Vx=(24)Cos(7.5)

Vx=23.79 m/s

The vertical component of the truck's velocity is:

Let Vy represent it.

In this case, CO=Vy, H=24 and α=7.5 degrees

Vy=(24)Sen(7.5)

Vy=3.13 m/s

A satellite in orbit is not truly traveling through a vacuum.It is moving through very, very thin air. Does the resulting airfri
defon

PART A) Yes, the fact that there is a frictional force acting on the satellite generates a loss of energy due to friction. What causes satellite to diminish its orbit during its tour. In fact, many satellites have rectifier systems that allow them to position themselves and remain in their orbit for a long time to avoid being trapped by the Earth's gravity Force and fall into the atmosphere where they would probably be torn apart.

PART B) As a similarity, one could start by mentioning the structure of the two equations are similar and have their own constants who were responsible for supporting them. While the law of gravity speaks of the masses of the bodies the electrostatic law speaks of the charges of the bodies. For both the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

However, the most notable difference between them is basically their statement. While one of the equations speaks about greavedad the other reflects the electromagnetic phenomena. It should be noted that the force of gravity is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and that the latter has the capacity of attraction and repulsion. While the gravitational force only that of attraction.

A thin coil has 17 rectangular turns of wire. When a current of 4 A runs through the coil, there is a total flux of 5 ✕ 10−3 T ·
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Inductance, L = 0.0212 Henries

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 17

Current through the coil, I = 4 A

The total flux enclosed by the one turn of the coil, \phi=5\times 10^{-3}\ Tm^2

The relation between the self inductance and the magnetic flux is given by :

L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}

L=\dfrac{17\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{4}

L = 0.0212 Henries

So, the inductance of the coil is 0.0212 Henries. Hence, this is the required solution.
