200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

           (200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation.  It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait ! 
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all.  I have no idea what  "1 sun"  means.  Forgive me.  I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

           1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m²  =  2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

An alternating voltage of 25.0 V is connected across the primary coil of a transformer.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Wattage = E * I

E = 25

I = 5

Wattage = 25 * 5

Wattage = 125

The secondary, in an ideal transformer has the same wattage.

125 = 50 * I           Divide by 50

125/50 = I

I = 2.5
