An industrial firm has two electrical loads connected in parallel across the power source. Power is supplied to the firm at 4000

V rms. One load is 30 kW of heating use, and the other load is a set of motors that together operate as a load at 0.6 lagging power factor and at 150 kVA. Determine the total current and the plant power factor.

Answer:

I = 27.65A < 40.59°

PowerFactor = 0.76

Explanation:

Current on the heating load is:

I1 = 30KW / 4KV = 7.5A < 0°

Current on the inductive load:

I2 = (150KVA*0.6) /4KV = 22.5A  with an angle of acos(0.6)=53.1°

The sum of both currents is:

It = I1 + I2 = 7.5<0° + 22.5<53.1° = 27.65<40.59°

Now, the power factor will be:

pf = cos (40.59°) = 0.76

Calculate the magnitude of the electric field inside the solid at a distance of 9.50 cm from the center of the cavity. Express y
WITCHER [35]

Question:

A point charge of -2.14uC  is located in the center of a spherical cavity of radius 6.55cm  inside an insulating spherical charged solid. The charge density in the solid is 7.35×10−4 C/m^3.

a) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field inside the solid at a distance of 9.50cm  from the center of the cavity.  

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field inside the solid at a distance of 9.50cm from the center of the cavity 3.65\times 10^5N/C

Explanation:

A point charge ,q = -2.14\times 10^{-6} C is located in the center of a spherical cavity of radius , r =6.55\times 10^{-2}  m inside an insulating spherical charged solid.  

The charge density in the solid , d = 7.35 \times 10^{-4}C/m^3.

Distance from the center of the cavity,R =9.5\times 10^{-2 }m

Volume of shell of charge= V  =(\frac{4\pi}{3})[ R^3 - r^3 ]

Charge on the shell ,Q = V \times d'

Q =(\frac{4\pi}{3})[ R^3 - r^3 ] \times d

Q = 4.1888*\times 10^{-4 }[8.57375 - 2.81011 ]\times 7.35\times 10^{-4}

Q = 4.1888\times 10^{-4} [5.76364 ] \times 7.35 \times 10^{-4}

Q =2.4143 \times 10^{-4} \times 7.35 \times 10^ { -4}

Q =1.7745 \times 10^{-6 }C

Electric field at 9.5\times 10^{-2}m due to shellE1  = \frac{k Q}{R^2}

E1 =  \frac{ 9 \times 10^9\times 1.7745\times 10^{-6 }}{ 90.25\times 10^{-4}}

E1 =1.769\times 10^6 N/C

Electric field at  9.5\times 10^{-2} due to 'q' at center E2 = \frac{kq}{R^2}

E2 =\frac{ - 9 \times 10^9\times 2.14\times 10^{-6 }}{ 90.25\times 10^{-4}}

E2 =2.134\times 10^6 N/C

The magnitude of the electric field inside the solid at a distance of 9.50cm from the center of the cavity

= E2- E1

=[  2.134  - 1.769 ]\times 10^6

= 3.65\times 10^5 N/C

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

A sidereal day is the time it takes for
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

B. the stars to come back to the same positions in the sky.

Explanation:

In fact, the solar day is equivalent to more than a rotation, because when the point has turned completely, it is not, as it should, in the same position with respect to the Sun.

The reason for this is that while performing the rotation, the Earth simultaneously moved following its orbit around the Sun.

When the reference point completed its rotation, the Earth already moved almost 2,500,000 km., So that to see the Sun again it will be necessary to turn a little more.

Solar day is more than a rotation. The sidereal or sidereal day, commonly used by astronomers, is also based on the rotation of the Earth; but in this case a distant star is taken as a reference (sidereal comes from the Latin sidus which means "star").

Define the term work​
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Work, in physics, measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force

Explanation:

at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement. ... To express this concept mathematically, the work W is equal to the force f times the distance d, or W = fd.
