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!!!

The maximum stress that a bar will withstand before failing is called • Rapture Strength • Yield Strength • Tensile Strength • B
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: Rupture strength

Explanation: Rupture strength is the strength of a material that is bearable till the point before the breakage by the tensile strength applied on it. This term is mentioned when there is a sort of deformation in the material due to tension.So, rupture will occur before whenever there are chances of failing and the material is still able to bear stresses before failing.

If you measure 0.7 V across a diode, the diode is probably made of
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Made of Silicon.

Explanation:

A diode is a semiconductor device use in mostly electronic appliances. It is two terminals device consisting of a P-N junction formed either in Germanium or silicon crystal.

Diode can be forward biased or reverse biased.

When a diode is forward biased and the applied voltage is increased from zero, hardly any current flows through the device in the beginning.

It is so because the external voltage is being opposed by the internal barrier voltage whose value is 0.7v for silicon and 0.3v for germanium.

If you measure 0.7 V across a diode, the diode is probably therefore made of Silicon.

Two flat plates, separated by a space of 4 mm, are moving relative to each other at a velocity of 5 m/sec. The space between the
xenn [34]

Answer:

0.008

Explanation:

From the question, the parameters given are:

Velocity V = 5 m/s

Pressure = 10 pa

But pressure = F/A

10 = F/A

F = 10A

Substitute all the parameters into the formula below

Coefficient of viscosity (η) = F × r /[AV]

Where

F = tangential force,

r = distance between layers,

A = Area, and

V = velocity

(η) = 10A × 0.004 /[A × 5]

The A will cancel out

(η) = 10 × 0.004 /[5]

(η) = 0.04 /5

(η) = 0.008

Therefore, the coefficient of viscosity of the fluid is 0.008
