Power Rating of a Resistor. The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without too gr

IgorLugansk [536]

(a) 273.9 V

The power rating of the resistor is given by

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where

P is the power rating

V is the potential difference across the resistor

R is the resistance

If the maximum power rating is $P=5.0 W$ , and the resistance of the resistor is $R=15 k\Omega = 15000 \Omega$ , then we can find the maximum potential difference across the resistor by re-arranging the previous equation for V:

$V=\sqrt{PR}=\sqrt{(5.0 W)(15000 \Omega)}=273.9 V$

(b) 1.6 W

In this case, we have:

$R=9.0 k\Omega = 9000 \Omega$ is the resistance of the resistor

$V=120 V$ is the potential difference across the resistor

So we can find the power rating by using the same formula of part (a):

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{9000 \Omega}=1.6 W$

(c) Maximum voltage: 14.1 V; Rate of heat: 2.00 W and 3.00 W

Here we have two resistors of

$R_1 = 100 \Omega\\R_2 = 150 \Omega$

and each resistor has a power rating of

P = 2.00 W

So the greatest potential difference allowed in the first resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_1}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(100 \Omega)}=14.1 V$

While the greatest potential difference allowed in the second resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_2}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(150 \Omega)}=17.3 V$

So the greatest potential difference allowed not to overheat either of the resistor is 14.1 V.

In this condition, the power dissipated on the first resistor is 2.00 W, while the power dissipated on the second resistor is

$P_2 = \frac{V^2}{R_2}=\frac{(14.1 V)^2}{150 \Omega}=1.33 W$

And this corresponds to the rate of heat generated in the first resistor (2.00 W) and in the second resistor (1.33 W).

When reading the printout from a laser printer, you are actually looking at an array of tiny dots.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The value is $y = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the pupil is $d_p = 4.2 \ mm = 4.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance of the page from the eye $d = 29 \ cm = 0.29 \ m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 500 \ nm = 500 *10^{-9} \ m$

The refractive index is $n_r = 1.36$

Generally the minimum separation of adjacent dots that can be resolved is mathematically represented as

$y = [ \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{d_p * n_r } ]* d$

$y = [ \frac{1.22 * 500 *10^{-9} }{4.2 *10^{-3} * 1.36} ]* 0.29$

$y = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \ m$

How many forces are acting on a stationary raft floating in a swimming pool A1 B2 or C3

Hitman42 [59]

There are at least two forces on it, and there could be more.

Vertical forces:
-- gravity, directed downward
-- buoyant force, directed upward
These two forces must be exactly equal, so that the net
vertical force on the raft is zero. Otherwise, it would be
accelerating either up or down.

Horizontal forces:
We know that the net horizontal force on the raft is zero.
Otherwise, it would be accelerating horizontally.

But we don't know if there are actually no horizontal forces
at all, or a balanced group of horizontal forces, that add up
to a net force of zero.

Why do electric fish need to force electric charges to move?

Anastasy [175]

The electric eel generates large electric currents by way of a highly specialized nervous system that has the capacity to synchronize the activity of disc-shaped, electricity-producing cells packed into a specialized electric organ. Hope this helps!! Good luck

A power station with an efficiency e generates W watts of electric power and dissipates D J of heat energy each second to the co

Andrews [41]

Answer: 13.94 tons/s

Explanation:

On adding heat energy to a substance, the temperature would be changed by a particular amount. This relationship between heat energy and temperature is often different for each material. The specific heat, is a value that describes how they relate.

Heat energy = mass flow rate * specific heat * Δ T

Q = MC (ΔΦ)

Heat energy, Q= 3.5*10^8J

Mass flow rate, M= ?

Specific heat, C= 4184j/KgC

Change in temperature, ΔΦ= 6°C

M = Q/CΔΦ

M = (3.5*10^8)/4184*6

M = 13942kg/s

M = 13.94 tons/s
