We all depend on electricity. Most electricity is created by electromagnetic generators at large power plants and distributed th

rough an electric grid. The electric grid in the United States is interconnected and includes more than 400,000 miles of electric transmission lines. However, the grid has not been well maintained, and the number and severity of power outages has been rising over the past decade. Because the grid is interconnected, a severe power outage in one area can quickly spread to other areas.
How long could you survive without electricity? What parts of your life would be affected by loss of electricity? Should you prepare for an electricity outage, and if so, how would you prepare? What backup system could your family or community install to generate limited amounts of electricity during an outage? How does this system create an electric force field and generate electric current?

Answer:

1) not so long (maybe an hour or two)

2) access to information through the internet will be most affected if my computer and mobile phone run out of battery power.

3) yes, one should prepare for power outage. This can be done by having a standby alternative source of power like the use of inverters that stores electrical energy in form of chemical energy, and small internal combustion engine powered electric generators.

4) solar panels can be used to draw power from incident sun rays, this power can be stored in an inverter for future use in case of a power outage.

5) energy from the sun is converted into direct current which is then supplied to an accumulator in the opposite direction to its flow of current. When the energy is needed, it can be used directly, or converted to an alternating current. This is achieved by connecting its terminal to the supply. Electric field is generated by flow of ions and electrons within the working chemical (e.g lithium).

Which is likely to be more common in our Galaxy: white dwarfs or black holes? Why?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

White dwarfs are likely to be much more common. The number of stars decreases with increasing mass, and only the most massive stars are likely to complete their lives as black holes. There are many more stars of the masses appropriate for evolution to a white dwarf.

225 = 1/2 (50) (v2)
225 = 25 (v2)
225/25 = v2
9 = v2
√9 = v

A conservative force does the same work regardless of the path taken.
ella [17]

A conservative force is a force that when work is done against this force the work done does not depend on the path taken only the initial and final position.
