Answer:

(i) It will take longer (75/22 times) the time to boil a given quantity of water compared to when the current is working at its rated capacity

(ii) The reasons are;

(1) For economy; most of the appliances in the home only require low power circuitry with thinner wire while a separate high power circuitry is created directly from the main supply for the high electric power rated appliances

(2) For safety; to prevent the over heating of the electric circuits when an high electric power appliance needs to be connected an high power electric power outlet has to be specified

Explanation:

(i) The power rating of the kettle = 3 kW

The voltage rating of the circuit, V = 220 V

The current rating, I = 4 A

The formula for electric power = I² × R = I × V

Therefore, we have;

Power produced = 220 V × 4 A = 880 V·A = 800 W

Hence, since the power produced is below the power rating of the electric kettle, it will take a longer time to boil a given amount of water than specified by the kettle manufacturer

The energy supplied H = V×I×t

Where:

t = Time in seconds

Therefore, we have;

3 kW = 3000 W;

3000 × t₁ = 880 × t₂

t₂/t₁ =3000/880 = 75/22

Hence the kettle will take 75/22 multiplied by the time it takes when working at rating capacity to boil a given quantity of water

(ii) This is so because the power consumption already factored in the electrical installation as well as the type of appliances utilized in the home allow for several low power rating consumption and few high power rating consumption

Therefore, for both economy and safety the electrical circuit are split to allow for the use of very thick copper or aluminium electric cables in the high power rating electric circuits to which can be plugged high electric power consuming devices such as the water heater and electric cooker

The low electric power consuming devices, such as the electric bulb and fans are connected to the low or "regular" power rating electric circuit outlets

The current required for high power and low power appliances is different and also the fuse rating required for both the appliances different, so two separate circuits are used for high power and low power appliances.

Structures on a bird feather act like a diffraction grating having 7000 7000 lines per centimeter. What is the angle of the firs
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

θ = 28.9°

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength; λ = 602nm = 602 x 10^(-9) m

Lines per centimetre = 7000 /cm = 700000 /m

Thus, the distance between 2 adjacent lines is;

d = 1/700000 = 1.43 x 10^(-6) m

The angle at which diffracted light is formed is given by the formula

mλ = d sinθ

Where;

m is the mth order of the diffraction

λ is the wavelength of the incident light

d is the distance separating the centres of 2 adjacent slits

θ is the angle at which diffraction occurs

From the question, m is 1 because it says first order.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values into mλ = d sinθ, we have;

1 x 602 x 10^(-9) = 1.43 x 10^(-6) sinθ

sinθ = 602 x 10^(-9)/(1.43 x 10^(-6))

sinθ = 0.42098

θ = sin^(-1) 0.42098

θ = 28.9°
