Answer:
Half-wave rectifier converts an AC signal into a DC signal. It's called a half-wave because it only rectify the positive part of an AC signal.
AC Signal = An electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative voltage.
DC Signal = An electrical signal that only has positive voltage.
Rectify = A fancy word for converting something.
Adding a capacitor helps the positive part of the signal stay on longer. This work because the capacitor stores energy kinda like a battery. During the negative part of the AC signal, the energy stored in the capacitor will be drained and used, then the cycle repeats.
The load resistor is just there to prevent a short circuit from happening.
Answer:
The flux (volume of water per unit time) through the hoop will also double.
Explanation:
The flux = volume of water per unit time = flow rate of water through the hoop.
The Flow rate of water through the hoop is proportional to the area of the hoop, and the velocity of the water through the hoop.
This means that
Flow rate = AV
where A is the area of the hoop
V is the velocity of the water through the hoop
This flow rate = volume of water per unit time = Δv/Δt =Q
From all the above statements, we can say
Q = AV
From the equation, if we double the area, and the velocity of the stream of water through the hoop does not change, then, the volume of water per unit time will also double or we can say increases by a factor of 2
Answer:
The source temperature is 1248 R.
Explanation:
Second law efficiency of the engine is the ratio of actual efficiency to the maximum possible efficiency that is reversible efficiency.
Given:
Temperature of the heat sink is 520 R.
Second law efficiency is 60%.
Actual thermal efficiency is 35%.
Calculation:
Step1
Reversible efficiency is calculated as follows:
Step2
Source temperature is calculated as follows:
T = 1248 R.
The heat engine is shown below:
Thus, the source temperature is 1248 R.
Answer:
Explained
Explanation:
Cold working: It is plastic deformation of material at temperature below recrystallization temperature. whereas hot working is deforming material above the recrystallization temperature.
Given melting point temp of lead is 327° C and lead recrystallizes at about
0.3 to 0.5 times melting temperature which will be higher that 20°C. Hence we can conclude that at 20°C lead will under go cold working only.
Answer:
the current consumed is 3.3 A
Explanation:
Given;
resistance, R = 30 ohms
inductance, L = 200 mH
Voltage supply, V = 230 V
frequency of the coil, f = 50 Hz
impedance, Z = 69.6 Ohms
The current consumed is calculated as;
Therefore, the current consumed is 3.3 A
