Answer:
Part a)
P = 13.93 kW
Part b)
R = 8357.6 Cents
Explanation:
Part A)
heat required to melt the aluminium is given by
here we have
Since this is the amount of aluminium per hour
so power required to melt is given by
Since the efficiency is 85% so actual power required will be
Part B)
Total energy consumed by the furnace for 30 hours
now the total cost of energy consumption is given as
Answer:
k = 2.279
Explanation:
Given:
Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC
Now,
the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:
C = Q/V
where,
V is the potential difference
Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be
C =
Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated
the capacitance (C') will be
C' =
or
C' =
now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:
substituting the values, we get
or
k = 2.279
