Explanation:

Elements can be differentiated on the basis of their spectral lines. As the spectra of any element is obtained when the electrons in the orbits of an atom change their states. When they move from lower to higher orbits they absorbs the radiation or energy. When the fall back from higher energy state to lower state they emit the radiations. Thats how the spectra of radiation is obtained. Now coming towards your question, as the different elements have different atomic numbers, they have different number of electrons in their shells. That's why the presence of the number of electrons in the shells of different elements vary. So the different number of electrons in different elements lead to the production of different numbers of spectral lines.

Answer:

36s

Explanation:

Let the objects be A and B.

Let the initial velocity of A be U and the initial velocity of B be 3U

The height sustain by A will be;

The final velocity would be zero

V2 = U2-2gH

Hence

0^2= U2 -2gH

H = U^2/2g

Similarly for object B, the height sustain is;

V2 = (3U)^2-2gH

Hence

0^2= 3U^2 -2gH

U2-2gH

Hence

0^2= U2 -2gH

H = 3U^2/2g

By comparism. The object with higher velocity sustains more height and so should fall longer than object A.

Now object A would take;

From V=U+gt as the object falls freely, the initial velocity is zero hence and the final velocity of the object is;

V=10×12=120m/s let g be 10m/S2

Similarly for object B,

The final velocity for B when it's falling it should be 3×that of A

Meaning

3V= gt

t =3V/g = 3× 120/10 = 36s

4.77 Augment the rectifier circuit of Problem 4.70 with a capacitor chosen to provide a peak-to-peak ripple voltage of (i) 10% o

goblinko [34]

The question incomplete! The complete question along with answer and explanation is provided below.

Question:

Augment the rectifier circuit of Problem 4.68 with a capacitor chosen to provide a peak-to-peak ripple voltage of (i) 10% of the peak output and (ii) 1% of the peak output. In each case:

(a) What average output voltage results?

(b) What fraction of the cycle does the diode conduct?

(d) What is the peak diode current?

Problem 4.68:

A half-wave rectifier circuit with a 1-kΩ load operates from a 120-V (rms) 60-Hz household supply through a 10-to-1 step-down transformer. It uses a silicon diode that can be modeled to have a 0.7-V drop for any current.

Given Information:

Input voltage = 120 Vrms

10 to 1 step-down transformer

Voltage drop at diode = 0.7 V

Load resistance = R = 1 kΩ

Required Information:

(i) 10% of the peak output and (ii) 1% of the peak output. In each case:

(a) What average output voltage results?

(b) What fraction of the cycle does the diode conduct?

(d) What is the peak diode current?

Answer:

Case (i)

Vavg = 15.45 V

Conduction of diode = 7.11 %

Iavg = 0.232 A

Ip = 0.449 A

Case (ii)

Vavg = 16.18 V

Conduction of diode = 2.25 %

Iavg = 0.735 A

Ip = 1.453 A

Explanation:

Voltage at the secondary side of the transformer is

Vrms = Vpri/turn ratio

Vrms = 120/10 = 12 V

The relation between rms voltage and peak voltage is

Vp = Vrms/√2

Vp = 12√2 = 16.97 V

Vd = 0.7 V

First we will calculate all the required parameters for the 10% ripple voltage and then for 1% ripple voltage.

case (i) 10% of the peak output:

(a) What average output voltage results?

Average output voltage = Vavg = Vp - Vd - 0.5Vr

Where Vp is the peak output voltage Vd is the voltage drop of diode and Vr is the ripple voltage which is given as a percentage of Vp

Vavg = Vp - Vd - 0.5Vr

Vavg = 16.97 - 0.7 - 0.5[0.1(16.97 - 0.7)]

Vavg = 15.45 V

(b) What fraction of the cycle does the diode conduct?

ω = √2Vr/Vp - Vd

ω = √2*0.1(Vp-Vd)/Vp - Vd

ω = √2*0.1(16.97-0.7)/16.97 - 0.7

ω = 0.447 rad

Conduction of diode = (ω/2π)*100

Conduction of diode = (0.447/2π)*100

Conduction of diode = 7.11 %

(c) What is the average diode current?

Average current = Iavg = Vavg/R[ 1 + π( √2(Vp - Vd)/0.1(Vp-Vd))]

Average current = Iavg = 15.45/1000[ 1 + π( √2(16.97 - 0.7)/0.1(16.97-0.7))]

Average current = Iavg = 0.232 A

(d) What is the peak diode current?

Peak current = Ip = Vavg/R[ 1 + 2π( √2(Vp - Vd)/0.1(Vp-Vd))]

Peak current = Ip = 15.45/1000[ 1 + 2π( √2(16.97 - 0.7)/0.1(16.97-0.7))]

Peak current = Ip = 0.449 A

case (ii) 1% of the peak output:

(a) What average output voltage results?

Vavg = 16.97 - 0.7 - 0.5[0.01(16.97 - 0.7)]

Vavg = 16.18 V

(b) What fraction of the cycle does the diode conduct?

ω = √2*0.01(Vp-Vd)/Vp - Vd

ω = √2*0.01(16.97-0.7)/16.97 - 0.7

ω = 0.1417 rad

Conduction of diode = (0.1417/2π)*100

Conduction of diode = 2.25 %

(c) What is the average diode current?

Average current = Iavg = 16.18/1000[ 1 + π( √2(16.97 - 0.7)/0.01(16.97-0.7))]

Average current = Iavg = 0.735 A

(d) What is the peak diode current?

Peak current = Ip = 16.18/1000[ 1 + 2π( √2(16.97 - 0.7)/0.01(16.97-0.7))]

Peak current = Ip = 1.453 A
