In my opinion, the correct answer is the first one, 'the cumulative nature of modern knowledge of physics'. He is trying to say here that it is the overall knowledge of physics and of his predecessors that has helped him become the greatness that he is today.

A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.38 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 2.30 mm. If the separa
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

plate separation = 2.3 x 10⁻³ m

capacity C₁ = ε A / d

= ε A / 2.3 x 10⁻³

C₂ = ε A / 1.15 x 10⁻³

\frac{C_2}{C_1} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}

a ) when charge remains constant

energy = \frac{q^2}{2C}

q is charge and C is capacity

energy stored initially E₁= \frac{q^2}{2C_1}

energy stored finally E₂ = \frac{q^2}{2C_2}

\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{C_2}{C_1} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}

E_2 = \frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times E_1

= \frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times 8.38

= 4.19 J

b )

In this case potential diff remains constant

energy of capacitor = 1/2 C V²

energy is proportional to capacity as V is constant .

\frac{E_2}{E_1} = \frac{C_2}{C_1}

\frac{E_2}{8.38} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}

E_2 = 16.76 .

A single-phase electrical load draws 600KVA at 0.6 power factor lagging. a) Find the real and reactive power absorbed by the loa
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

(a). The reactive power is 799.99 KVAR.

(c). The reactive power of a capacitor to be connected across the load to raise the power factor to 0.95 is 790.05 KVAR.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power factor = 0.6

Power = 600 kVA

(a). We need to calculate the reactive power

Using formula of reactive power

Q=P\tan\phi...(I)

We need to calculate the \phi

Using formula of \phi

\phi=\cos^{-1}(Power\ factor)

Put the value into the formula

\phi=\cos^{-1}(0.6)

\phi=53.13^{\circ}

Put the value of Φ in equation (I)

Q=600\tan(53.13)

Q=799.99\ kVAR

(b). We draw the power triangle

(c). We need to calculate the reactive power of a capacitor to be connected across the load to raise the power factor to 0.95

Using formula of reactive power

Q'=600\tan(0.95)

Q'=9.94\ KVAR

We need to calculate the difference between Q and Q'

Q''=Q-Q'

Put the value into the formula

Q''=799.99-9.94

Q''=790.05\ KVAR

Hence, (a). The reactive power is 799.99 KVAR.

(c). The reactive power of a capacitor to be connected across the load to raise the power factor to 0.95 is 790.05 KVAR.
