A copper transmission cable 170 km long and 10.0 cm in diameter carries a current of 100 A .

Physics

Bond [772]3 years ago

Answer:

a = = 37.2V

b = 13.39MJ

Explanation:

Given that

L = 170 × 10³

r = d/2

= 10cm / 2 = 5 cm

current I = 100A

we are to find the potential drop across the cable

so, we can use ohm’s law

V = IR = I (ρL/A)

ρ = resistivity of the copper

= 1.72 × 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πr²

V = I(ρL/πr²)

= 100 (( 1.72 × 10⁻⁸ * 170 × 10³) / ( π * 0.05²))

= 37.2V

(b)

Energy (loss) = Pt

Enery (loss) = IVt

 3600s per hour

= (100A)(37.2V)(3600s)

= 13.39MJ

Explain the following defects of a simple electric cell:
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.

a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.

b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.
