AC (Alternating Current) generator is a device that produces an electromotive force.This generator produces alternating current. Alternating current  is electric current that changes its direction many times a second, at regular intervals. This is the type of current with which customers are supplied in the energy distribution network.

Explanation :

An AC generator consists of the alternating voltage source, magnet, slip rings, and brushes. AC current changes the direction of current periodically.

AC generator is used to produce emf. On the application of alternating current, the magnetic flux that is linked with the coil changes and hence the coil rotates continuously.

So, the correct statement that describes an AC generator is (d) " It produces the current that continuously reverses direction ".

A 0.35 m2 coil with 50 turns rotates at 5 radians per sec2 in a magnetic field of 0.6 Tesla. What is the value of the rms curren
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

11.25 amps

Explanation:

For transformers, the magnetic flux

\Phi _{max} = \beta  \times A

Therefore;

\Phi _{max} = 0.6  \times 0.35 = 0.21 \ Weber

Ф = Фmax (cosωt) = 0.21·(cos(5·t))

From Faraday's law of induction, we have;

ε = -N × dΦ/dt

Which gives;

dΦ/dt = -1.05(sin (5t) )

ε = -N × dΦ/dt = -50× -1.05(sin (5t) )

ε = 52.5(sin (5t) )

I = ε/R = 52.5(sin (5t) )/3.3 = 15.9091(sin (5t) ) amps

The peak current is therefore = 15.9091 amps

The rms current = Peak current /√2 = 15.9091/(√2) = 11.25 amps.

jeka94

Answer:

T = 188.5 s, correct is  C

Explanation:

This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved

         

initial instant. Before the crash

        L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀

the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0

final instant. After the crash

        L_f = I₀ w + m r v

        L₀ = L_f

        m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = r w

        w = v / r

        m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v

         m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v

       v = \frac{m}{\frac{I_o}{r}  +mr} \ r v_o

let's calculate

       v = \frac{0.020}{\frac{1.4}{0.6  } + 0.020 \ 0.6  } \ 0.6 \ 4

       v = \frac{0.020}{2.345} \ 2.4

       v = 0.02 m / s

         

To calculate the time of a complete revolution we can use the kinematics relations of uniform motion

        v = x / T

         T = x / v

the distance of a circle with radius r = 0.6 m

         x = 2π r

we substitute

         T = 2π r / v

let's calculate

         T = 2π 0.6/0.02

         T = 188.5 s

reduce

         t = 188.5 s ( 1 min/60 s) = 3.13 min

correct is  C

A rectangular tank is filled to a depth of 10m with freshwater and open to air at atmospheric pressure.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<em>1.</em> <em>39068.07 N</em>

<em>2. 19534.036 N</em>

Explanation:

depth of water h = 10 m

atmospheric pressure Patm = 101325 Pa

density of water p = 1000 kg/m^3

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2

pressure due to depth of water = pgh

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 10 = 98100 Pa

total pressure on the bottom of the tank is Patm + p = 101325 + 98100 = 199425 Pa

Left plug has diameter = 50 cm = 0.5 m

radius = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

height = 1 cm = 0.01 m

<em>height below tank surface = 10 - 0.01 = 9.99</em>

pressure at this depth =  1000 x 9.81 x 9.99 = 98001.9 Pa

<em>total pressure = Patm + P = 101325 + 98001.9 = 199326.9 Pa</em>

surface area of plug = πr^{2} = 3.142 x 0.25^{2} = 0.196 m^{2}

<em>force required to lift left plug = pressure x area</em>

F =  199326.9 x 0.196 = <em>39068.07 N</em>

<em>The right side is a hemisphere with the same diameter, therefore surface area is half of the left plug</em>

A = 0.196/2 = 0.098 m^{2}

force F required to lift right plug =  199326.9  x 0.098 =<em> 19534.036 N</em>
