Answer:
The maximum energy stored in the combination is 0.0466Joules
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Three capacitors C1-11.7 μF, C2 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.
Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CtV² where
Ct is the total effective capacitance
V is the supply voltage
Since the capacitors are connected in series.
1/Ct = 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3
Given C1 = 11.7 μF, C2 = 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF
1/Ct = 1/11.7 + 1/21.0 + 1/28.8
1/Ct = 0.0855+0.0476+0.0347
1/Ct = 0.1678
Ct = 1/0.1678
Ct = 5.96μF
Ct = 5.96×10^-6F
Since V = 125V
E = 1/2(5.96×10^-6)(125)²
E = 0.0466Joules
A.900 watts That would be your correct answer
Answer:
waves
Explanation:
There are three major ways in which heat or thermal energy is transferred namely: conduction, convection and radiation. Please find the description of each below;
- Conduction is the method of heat transfer which involves a physical contact between the substances involved.
- Convection, on the contrary, occurs via a liquid medium
- RADIATION is a method of heat transfer which involves neither physical contact or liquid medium (matter) but occurs through WAVES e.g electromagnetic waves. For example, the sun transfers heat to the Earth via RADIATION.
A "screen" or even just a set of parallel bars are highly reflective to electromagnetic waves as long as the open spaces are small compared to the wavelengths.
"Grid" dishes work fine ... with less weight and less wind resistance ... for frequencies below about 3 GHz. (Wavelengths of at least 10 cm.)
(I even worked on a microwave system in South America where huge grid dishes were used on a 90-mile link.)
