How does wire thickness affect the power of the electromagnet?

1 answer:

6 0

It does not depend on the thickness of the wire. Well, not directly.

As steveastrouk wrote, the magnetic field depends on the current through the wire and how often the wire goes around the core - the number of loops.

If you use a thinner wire, you can wrap more turns into a given space. Good for the magnetic field! But...

A thinner wire means more resistance. More turns mean a longer wire and that means even more resistance. More resistance means that a given voltage can drive less current through the wire. Less current means a lower magnetic field.

If and when the two effects cancel each other, well that's what math is for.

(Of course you could increase the voltage to keep the current in the thinner wire the same as in the thicker wire, but that would increase the thermal losses in the wire as well.)

Answer:

The break even cost is $0.0063825

Explanation:

Break-even cost is the amount of money, or change in value, which equates to the amount at which an asset must be sold to equal the cost of acquiring it. For easier understanding it can be thought the amount of money for which a product or service must be sold to cover the costs of manufacturing or providing it.

Wattage = W

Cost per kilo watt hour = C

Number of hours per year = H

Price per bulb/CFL = P

Discount rate = 11%

Life of bulb = 2 years

Price of bulb = $0.39

Wattage consumption of bulb per hours = 60

Life of CFL = 24 years

Price of CFL = $3.10

Wattage consumption of CFL per hour = 15

Calculate the Equated Annual Cost (EAC) of bulb

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 2years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 2years)

PVIFA 11%, 2years = Annuity PV Factor = [1 – {(1 + r)^(-n)}]/r, where r is the rate per period and n is the number per periods

PVIFA 11%, 2 years = [1 – {(1 + 0.11)^(-2)}]/0.11 = 1.712523 (for 2 years)

PVIFA 11%, 24 years = [1 – {(1 + 0.11)^(-24)}]/0.11 = 8.348136 (for 2 years)

Calculate the EAC of bulb

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 2 years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 2 years)

EAC = {- 0.39 - (60/1000 x H x C) x (1.712523)}/ (1.712523)

EAC = {-0.39 – (51.37570 x C)}/ 1.712523, consider this equation 1

Calculate the EAC of CFL

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 24 years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 24 years)

EAC = {- 3.10 - (15/1000 x 500 x C) x (8.348136)}/ (8.348136)

EAC = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C)}/8.348137, consider this equation 2

Equate 1 and 2 to find the amount of C

{-0.39 – (51.37570 x C)}/ 1.712523 = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C)}/8.348137

{-0.39 – (51.37570 x C) x 8.348137} = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C) x 1.712523}

C = $0.0063825

Thus, the break- even cost per kilo – watt is $0.0063825

a boy throw a ball upward from the top of a cliff 73m high.Calculate the time in which ball will fall on the ground and the velo

LekaFEV [45]

The ball rises for v/g seconds; which equals 14.7/9.8=1.5 seconds . After this time, it’s height will be:

h(t)=g/2(1.5)²+14.7(1.5)

=-4.9 x 2.25 + 22.05

=11.025m

The ball then falls for 49+11.025=60.025m, which takes:

g/2t²=60.025

t²=12.25

t=3.5 secs

Total time: 1.5+3.5=5 seconds

Answer:

Astronomer

Explanation:

A scientist who studies the objects in the sky, including planets, galaxies, black holes, and stars, is called an astronomer. These days, the terms astronomer and astrophysicist are used interchangeably, to talk about any physicist who specializes in celestial bodies and the forces that affect them.
