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.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

How is an ammeter connected in a circuit to measure current flowing through it?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

It is connected in series with the circuit

Explanation:

This is because to measure the current in the circuit, the current in the circuit has to flow through the ammeter. As such, the ammeter must be connected in series with the circuit so as to measure the current flowing through the circuit.

So, to measure the current flowing through a circuit with an ammeter, the ammeter must be connected in series with the circuit.
