An 1800-W toaster, a 1400-W electric frying pan, and a 75-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15-A, 120-V circuit. The

three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same socket.
a) What current is drawn by each device?

b) Will this combination blow the 15-A fuse?

Answer:

a) Current drawn by the toaster = 15A

Current drawn by the electric frying pan = 11.67A

Current drawn by the lamp = 0.625A

b) This combination will blow the 15A fuse as the total current requirement for this setup exceeds the 15A rating of the fuse.

Explanation:

a) For parallel connection, there exists, the same voltage and different currents across all the devices.

Voltage cross each of the 3 devices = outlet voltage of 120V

From their respective power rating, current drawn by each device will be calculated.

P = IV

For the toaster, P = 1800 W, V = 120V

I = 1800/120 = 15A

For the electric frying pan, P = 1400 W, V = 120 V

I = 1400/120 = 11.67 A

For the lamp, P = 75 W, V = 120V

I = 75/120 = 0.625 A

b) Total current in a parallel connection setup = Sum total of all the currents.

Total current drawn by all 3 devices = 15 + 11.67 + 0.625 = 27.295A = 27.3 A

This total current requirement surpasses the 15A current rating of the fuse, therefore, this combination will blow the fuse.

Hope this Helps!!!

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

<em>The temperature will be greater than 25°C</em>

Explanation:

In an adiabatic process, heat is not transferred to or from the boundary of the system. The gain or loss of internal heat energy is solely from the work done on the system, or work done by the system. The work done on the system by the environment adds heat to the system, and work done by the system on its environment takes away heat from the system.

mathematically

Change in the internal energy of a system ΔU = ΔQ + ΔW

in an adiabatic process, ΔQ = 0

therefore

ΔU = ΔW

where ΔQ is the change in heat into the system

ΔW is the work done by or done on the system

when work is done on the system, it is conventionally negative, and vice versa.

also W = pΔv

where p is the pressure, and

Δv = change in volume of the system.

In this case,<em> work is done on the gas by compressing it from an initial volume to the new volume of the cylinder. The result is that the temperature of the gas will rise above the initial temperature of 25°C </em>
