A transformer is to be used to provide power for a computer disk drive that needs 6.0 V (rms) instead of the 120 V (rms) from th

e wall outlet. The number of turns in the primary is 400, and it delivers 500 mA (the secondary current) at an output voltage of 6.0 V (rms). Find the number of turns in the secondary.

Answer:

$N_{2}$ =20 turns

Explanation:

The given case is a step down transformer as we need to reduce 120 V to 6 V.

number of turns on primary coil N_{P}= 400

current delivered by secondary coil I_{S}= 500 mA

output voltage = 6 V (rms)

we know that

$I_{p}=\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}\times I_{s}}$

putting values we get

$I_{p}=\frac{6}{120\times 0.5}$

$I_{p}= 0.1 A$

to calculate number of turns in secondary

$\frac{N_{2}}{400} =\frac{6}{120}$

therefore, $N_{2}$ =20 turns

A 20.0 μf capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 850 v. the terminals of the charged capacitor are then connected to

liberstina [14]

(a) $Q = 1.70\times 10^{-2}\;\text{C}$ ;
(b) $V_\text{final} = 5.31\times 10^{2}\;\text{V}$ ;
(c) $E_\text{final} = 4.52\;\text{J}$ ;
(d) $\Delta E = 2.82\;\text{J}$ .

All four values are in 3 sig. fig.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

(a)

$Q = C\cdot V = 20.0\times 10^{-6} \times 850\;\text{V} = 1.70\times 10^{-2}\;\text{J}$ .

(b)

Sum of the final charge on the two capacitors should be the same as the sum of the initial charge. Voltage of the two capacitors should be the same. That is:

$C_1\cdot V_\text{final} +C_2 \cdot V_\text{final} = C_1\cdot V_\text{initial}$ ;

$(C_1+C_2)\cdot V_\text{final} = C_1\cdot V_\text{initial}$ ;

$\displaystyle V_\text{final} = \frac{C_1}{C_1+C_2}\cdot V_\text{initial}\\\phantom{V_\text{final}} = \frac{20.0\;\mu\text{F}}{20.0\;\mu\text{F} + 12.0\;\mu\text{F}} \times 850\;\text{V}\\\phantom{V_\text{final}} =531\;\text{V}$ .

(c)

$\displaystyle E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C\cdot V^{2}$ .

$\displaystyle E_\text{final} = \frac{1}{2} (C_1 + C_2) \cdot {V_\text{final}}^{2} \\\phantom{E_\text{final}} = \frac{1}{2} \times (20.0\times 10^{-6} + 12.0\times 10^{-6}) \times 531.25\\\phantom{E_\text{final}} = 4.52\;\text{J}$ .

(d)

Initial energy of the system, which is the same as the initial energy in the $20.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor:

$\displaystyle E_\text{initial} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20.0\times 10^{-6} \times 850^{2} = 7.225\;\text{J}$ .

Change in energy:

$\Delta E = 7.225\;\text{J} - 4.516\;\text{J} = 2.70\;\text{J}$ .

A wire has resistivity of 0.12 homes per metre.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

(a) The resistance of 25m of wire is 3 ohms

(b) the length of this wire that has resistance 22 ohms is 183.33 m

Explanation:

Given;

resistivity of the wire, ρ = 0.12 ohms per meter

(a) The resistance of 25m of wire is calculated as follows;

$R = \rho L\\\\R = 0.12 \ \frac{ohms}{m} \times 25\ m\\\\R = 3 \ ohms$

(b) the length of this wire that has resistance 22 ohms is calculated as;

$L = \frac{R}{\rho} \\\\L = \frac{22 \ ohms }{0.12 \ ohms/m} = 183.33 \ m$

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! MT TIME FOR MY TEST IS ALMOST OVER!!!

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the natural length of the spring = L

so

100 = k(40 - L) (1)

200 = k(60 - L) (2)

(2)/(1): 2 = (60 - L)/(40 - L)

60 - L = 2(40 - L)

60 - L = 80 - 2L

2L - L = 80 - 60

L = 20

Sub it into (1):

100 = k(40 - 20) = 20k

k = 100/20 = 5 N/in

Now

X = k(30 - L) = 5(30 - 20) = 50 N
