Answer:
(a) The power wasted for 0.289 cm wire diameter is 15.93 W
(b) The power wasted for 0.417 cm wire diameter is 7.61 W
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of the wire, d = 0.289 cm = 0.00289 m
voltage of the wire, V = 120 V
Power drawn, P = 1850 W
The resistivity of the wire, ρ = 1.68 x 10⁻⁸ Ω⋅m
Area of the wire;
A = πd²/4
A = (π x 0.00289²) / 4
A = 6.561 x 10⁻⁶ m²
(a) At 26 m of this wire, the resistance of the is
R = ρL / A
R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸ x 26) / 6.561 x 10⁻⁶
R = 0.067 Ω
Current in the wire is calculated as;
P = IV
I = P / V
I = 1850 / 120
I = 15.417 A
Power wasted = I²R
Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.067)
Power wasted = 15.93 W
(b) when a diameter of 0.417 cm is used instead;
d = 0.417 cm = 0.00417 m
A = πd²/4
A = (π x 0.00417²) / 4
A = 1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m²
Resistance of the wire at 26 m length of wire and 1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m² area;
R = ρL / A
R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸ x 26) / 1.366 x 10⁻⁵
R = 0.032 Ω
Power wasted = I²R
Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.032)
Power wasted = 7.61 W
Answer:
Explanation:
Input refers to the amount of energy put into a device, and output refers to the amount of energy that comes out. A device may change the type of energy but not the amount. For example, a light bulb's input energy is the form of electrical energy, and its output energy is in the form of light and heat. Efficiency.
Answer:
Rapid increase in the temperature of the earth.
Explanation:
CO2 is known as a greenhouse gas. It is able to trap and retain infrared radiation in the earths atmosphere thereby causing a gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. If this doubled concentration of CO2 is sustained over a long period of time, it will eventually lead to melting of polar ice caps and consequent flooding. Gradually, the earth would be destroyed due to the scorching heat and attendant flood.
