ANSWER PLS!! In two to three sentences, differentiate between a motor and a generator

1 answer:

8 0

-- A motor and a generator both do a transformation between electrical energy and some other form of energy, but they do it in opposite directions.

-- A motor takes electrical energy and transforms it into mechanical energy, which can then be used to run mechanical things like cars or wheat grinders.

-- A generator takes mechanical energy ... like from a steam turbine or a windmill or a water wheel ... and transforms it into electrical energy, which can then be shipped over long distances through wires, and used to run motors or other electrical things.

The magnetic coils of a tokamak fusion reactor are in the shape of a toroid having an inner radius of 0.700 m and an outer radiu

iragen [17]

Answer:

(a) 11.3 T

(b) 6.09 T

Explanation:

Current, I = 14 kA = 14000 A

number of turns, N = 900

inner radius, r = 0.7 m

outer radius, R = 1.3 m

The magnetic field due to a circular coil is given by

$B = \frac{\mu o}{4\pi}\times \frac{2 N\pi I}{R}$

(a) The magnetic field due to the inner radius is

$B = 10^{-7}\times \frac{2\times 900\times 3.14\times 14000}{0.7}\\\\B = 11.3 T$

(b) The magnetic field due to the outer radius is

$B = 10^{-7}\times \frac{2\times 900\times 3.14\times 14000}{1.3}\\\\B = 6.09 T$

Determine the length of the tungsten filament in a 100 watt lightbulb given: (i) the resistivity of tungsten is 5.6 × 10−8 Ω · m

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

0.34148 m

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Resistivity of tungsten = $5.6\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega m$

d = Diameter = 0.0018 inch

r = Radius = $\dfrac{r}{2}=\dfrac{0.0018}{2}=0.0009\ in$

$r=0.0009\times 0.0254=0.00002286\ m$

$\alpha$ = Temperature coefficient of tungsten = $0.0045 /^{\circ}C$

Power is given by

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{120^2}{100}\\\Rightarrow R=144\ \Omega$

We have the equation

$R_2=R_1[1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)]\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{R_2}{1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{144}{1+0.0045(2550-25)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=11.64812\ \Omega$

Resistance is given by

$R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{11.64812\times \pi (0.00002286)^2}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}\\\Rightarrow l=0.34148\ m$
