An electrician must decide between 3 heaters. The wire that she is using is rated 15A maximum, anything beyond that is a fire ha

zard. Two of the heaters operate off a standard 120V circuit. One is rated 900W and the other 1800W. The third operates off a 240V circuit and can deliver 3000W of power. Calculate the amount of current for each.

Use the formula: P=IV, where P is power (watts), I is current (amperes) and V is potential difference (volts).

For the first heater:
900W = I_{1}*120V
I_{1} = 7.5A


For the second heater:
1800W = I_{2}*120V
I_{2} = 15A


For the third heater:
3000W = I_{3}*240V
I_{3} = 12.5A

Bats use a process called echolocation to find their food. This involves giving out sound waves that hit possible prey or food.
cupoosta [38]
The type of waves used by bats are sound waves. Most of the species use their larynx to produce ultrasound waves in the frequency range of 20 to 200 kilohertz.
These sound waves are echoed, reflected, by surroundings, in this case food or prey. These reflections are received by the specialized receptor cells in the ears of bats. The reflections are analyzed by the brain to make an image.
Fun fact: The brain cells of bats are also specialized to better analyze the frequency of ultrasound used by the bat.

Answer: *The inner planet that has two moons is Mars * the only planet in the Solar System with clockwise rotation is Venus * The surface of Mercury is covered with ancient magma ( which is similar to the spews of volcanoes on  Earth as well) * The planet that is closest to Earth is Mercury * Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet * Earth's moon formed when a(n)  can sometimes be called the Big Splash or can be called the Theia impact (Luna the moon formed from the ejecta of the collision between the Proto- Earth and Mars sized planet) * Mars is called the red planet because it's soil contains the element iron oxide ( which is the compound that gives blood and rust hue)

A dog of mass 4 kg runs up a hill of height 8 m. How much gravitational potential energy does the dog gain?
Genrish500 [490]
A. 314 because when you use the formula for the GPE ; GPE=MGH or means mass times gravity time height (4x8x9.8) and thats equivalent to 313.6 which rounds up to 314. Hope it helps

What does Electromagnetic induction mean?
mina [271]

Answer:

<u>Electromagnetic introduction</u> is the production of an electromotive force (voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

  • <em><u>Step up transformers</u></em><u> is</u> a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is greater than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-up transformer. The step-up transformer decreases the output current for keeping the input and output power of the system equal.

  • <u><em>Step down transformer is </em></u><em>a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is less than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-down transformer. The number of turns on the primary of the transformer is greater than the turn on the secondary of the transformer.</em>

<em />

<u>The difference between them:</u>

A transformer is a static device which transfers a.c electrical power from one circuit to the other at the same frequency, but the voltage level is usually changed. For economical reasons, electric power is required to be transmitted at high voltage whereas it has to be utilized at low voltage from a safety point of view. This increase in voltage for transmission and decrease in voltage for utilization can only be achieved by using a step-up and step-down transformer.

Hopefully this helped.
