A heat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. The same engine

running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. Heat pumps are widely used for home heating. You can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat QH, warming the indoors. Perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. Electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. This is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. That is, 20.0 \rm kW of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 20.0 kJ/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 20.0 kJ/s. Suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 7.00, a realistic value. NOTE: With a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. But with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. So the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is K=QH/Win. An average price for electricity is about 40 MJ per dollar. A furnace or heat pump will run typically 300 hours per month during the winter. What does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kW electric heater?
What does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

Answer:

a) 2.85 kW

b) $ 432

c) $ 76.95

Explanation:

Average price of electricity = 1 $/40 MJ

Q = 20 kW

Heat energy production = 20.0 KJ/s

Coefficient of performance,  K = 7

also

K=(QH)/Win

Now,

Coefficient of Performance, K = (QH)/Win = (QH)/P(in) = 20/P(in) = 7

where

P(in) is the input power

Thus,

P(in) = 20/7 = 2.85 kW

b) Cost = Energy consumed × charges

Cost = ($1/40000kWh) × (16kW × 300 × 3600s)

cost = $ 432

c) cost = (1$/40000kWh) × (2.85 kW × 200 × 3600s) = $76.95

A closed circuit is formed by a solid conductor in contact with two parallel conducting rails that are closed on their left end,
castortr0y [4]

this is an equation that you need to solve for motional emf. motional emf=vBL, where v is velocity in meters/second, B is magnetic field in Teslas and L is length or distance the rails are apart from each other. when we plug everything into the formula given above, we get: motional emf=5m/s*0.80T*0.20m. solving all this we get 0.8 volts. pretty sure that since they are giving you the direction of the field, they want to know which way the current will flow . since the conductor is moving from left to right the area of the field is increasing which means magnetic flux is increasing as Ф(magnetic flux)=B(magnetic field)*A(area)*cosФ(little phi is the angle to the normal. in this case little fee is 0 degrees so the cosФ doesn't matter). so ↑Ф=B↑A. if magnetic flux is increasing, the induced magnetic field is in the opposite direction as the original magnetic field meaning the induced magnetic field will be out of the page. using the right hand rule which says that if the field is in to the page, the current should go clockwise and if the field is out of the page, the current is counterclockwise so that means that the current should be going counter clockwise since the induced field is going out of the screen. the top of the conducting wire will have its current go to the left and the bottom of the conducting wire will have the current go to the right.
