A 12.0 khz, 16.0 v source connected to an inductor produces a 4.00 a current. what is the inductance?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Inductive reactance (Z) = ω L = 2Πf L = (2Π) (12,000) (L)

I = V / Z

4 A = 16v / (24,000Π L)

Multiply each side by (24,000 Π L):

96,000 Π L = 16v

Divide each side by (96,000 Π) :

L = 16 / 96,000Π = 5.305 x 10⁻⁵ Henry

L = 53.05 microHenry

Initially there were 10 bulbs of 60 Watt power

So total power of all bulbs = 60 * 10 = 600 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

$E = P * t$

$E = 600 * 4 = 2400 Wh$

$E = 2.4 kWh$

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

$E = 365 * 2.4 = 876 kWh$

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

$P_1 = 876 * 10 = 8760 cents = $87.60$

Now if all 60 Watt bulbs are replaced by 30 Watt bulbs

So total power of all bulbs = 30 * 10 = 300 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

$E = P * t$

$E = 300 * 4 = 1200 Wh$

$E = 1.2 kWh$

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

$E = 365 * 1.2 = 438 kWh$

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

$P_1 = 438 * 10 = 4380 cents = $43.80$

total money saved in 1 year

$Savings = 87.6 - 43.8 = $43.80$

Imagine you can take all the atoms in a single drop of water and put them on a single line as closely packed as they can be. How

tester [92]

Answer:

option a

Explanation:

Size of an atom (diameter) = 10⁻¹⁰ m

There are approximately 10²² atoms in a single drop of water. If they are put in a straight line, the length would be

l = diameter of an atom × number of atoms

l = 10²²× 10⁻¹⁰ m = 10¹² m

Distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1.47 × 10¹¹ m. The calculated length is greater than the distance between the Sun and the Earth.

Thus, option a is correct.

A 6,000N is applied to a formula one car that weighs 500kg. What is the car's acceleration?

Vesna [10]

Answer:

<h2>12 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 6000 N

m = 500 kg

We have

$a = \frac{6000}{500} = \frac{60}{5} = 12 \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>12 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
