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!!!

4. What are these parts commonly called?
patriot [66]

These parts are commonly called carburetor emulsion tubes. These tubes maintain the air-fuel ratio at different speeds.

The carburetor is a device of the combustion engine power supply system that mixes fuel and air in order to facilitate internal combustion.

The carburetor emulsion tubes are tubes that maintain the air-fuel ratio at different velocities.

These tubes (carburetor emulsion tubes) are small brass cylinders where the metering needle slides into them.

A water pump delivers 3 hp of shaft power when operating. If the pressure differential between the outlet and the inlet of the p
Natali [406]

Answer:

Mechanical Efficiency =  83.51%

Explanation:

Given Data:

Pressure difference = ΔP=1.2 Psi

Flow rate = V=8ft^3/s\\

Power of Pump = 3 hp

Required:

Mechanical Efficiency

Solution:

We will first bring the change the units of given data into SI units.

P=1.2*6.895 = 8.274KPa\\V=8*0.00283=0.226 m^3/s\\P=3*0.746=2.238KW

Now we will find the change in energy.

Since it is mentioned in the statement that change in elevation (potential energy) and change in velocity (Kinetic Energy) are negligible.

Thus change in energy is

=(Mass * change in P)/density\\= \frac{M*P}{p}\\\\

As we know that Mass = Volume x density

substituting the value

Energy = Volume * density x ΔP / density

Change in energy = Volumetric flow x ΔP

Change in energy = 0.226 x 8.274 = 1.869 KW

Now mechanical efficiency = change in energy / work done by shaft

Efficiency = 1.869 / 2.238

Efficiency = 0.8351 = 83.51%
