Answer:Metaloids have properties of both metals and non-metals.
Explanation:
Given Information:
Voltage of circuit A = Va = 208 Volts
Current of circuit A = Ia = 40 Amps
Voltage of circuit B = Vb = 120 Volts
Current of circuit B = Ib = 20 Amps
Required Information:
Ratio of power = Pa/Pb = ?
Answer:
Ratio of power = Pa/Pb = 52/15
Explanation:
Power can be calculated using Ohm's law
P = VI
Where V is the voltage and I is the current flowing in the circuit.
The power delivered by circuit A is
Pa = Va*Ia
Pa = 208*40
Pa = 8320 Watts
The power delivered by circuit B is
Pb = Vb*Ib
Pb = 120*20
Pb = 2400 Watts
Therefore, the ratio of the maximum power delivered by circuit A to that delivered by circuit B is
Pa/Pb = 8320/2400
Pa/Pb = 52/15
Answer:
16.8ohms
Explanation:
According to ohm's law which states that the current passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends.
Mathematically, V = IRt where;
V is the voltage across the circuit
I is the current
R is the effective resistance
For a series connected circuit, same current but different voltage flows through the resistors.
If the initial current in a circuit is 19.3A,
V = 19.3R... (1)
When additional resistance of 7.4-Ω is added and current drops to 13.4A, our voltage in the circuit becomes;
V = 13.4(7.4+R)... (2)
Note that the initial resistance is added to the additional resistance because they are connected in series.
Equating the two value of the voltages i.e equation 1 and 2 to get the resistance in the original circuit we will have;
19.3R = 13.4(7.4+R)
19.3R = 99.16+13.4R
19.3R-13.4R = 99.16
5.9R = 99.16
R= 99.16/5.9
R = 16.8ohms
The resistance in the original circuit will be 16.8ohms
In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
