5. An electrical power plant generates electricity with a current of 50 A and a potential difference of 20 000 V. In order to mi

nimize the power losses due to the high current heating up the line, a transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted. What is the current in the transmission lines?

Answer: Current = 2 A

Explanation:

Given that an electrical power plant generates electricity with a

current I = 50 A

Potential difference V = 20 000 V

The resistance R will be achieved by Ohms law formula which state that

V = IR

But the power generated will be the product of potential difference and the current

Power P = IV

P = 50 × 20000

P = 1, 000000 W

When the transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted

Power is always constant.

Using the formula for power again with

V = 500000

1000000 = 500000× I

Make I the subject of formula

Current I = 1000000/500000

Current I = 2 A

can you suggest improvement that can be made towards the design of siphon so that the transfer of liquid is much higher.​
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A siphon is a tube that makes use of the potential energy of fluid at an elevated level to transfer the fluid to a lower level, due to pressure differences between the inlet and the outlet points of the tube, such that the pressure at the outlet is higher than the pressure at the inlet

The pressure energy is converted into velocity (kinetic) energy, and therefore, in other to increase the flow rate through the tube of a siphon, with constant diameter, the level of the fluid in the container at the inlet (supply) of the siphon is raised higher than the level at the outlet receiving) container or the outlet point of the siphon tube

The larger the difference between the inlet and outlet levels, the faster the transfer of fluid by the siphon

Based on the law of conservation of energy, how can we reasonably improve a machine’s ability to do work?
MrMuchimi

D. Redefine the machine’s system boundaries.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can't be created not destroyed. Energy, however, can be changed from one form to another. The law applies to isolated systems only. By redefining and expanding the system (including all factors affecting it) , the machine's ability to do work should improve.

An electron traverses a vacuum tube with a length of 2 m in 2 X 10- 4
Maslowich

Answer:

Average speed = 10,000 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 2m

Time = 0.0002secs

To find the average speed;

Average speed = distance/time

Average speed = 2/0.0002

Average speed = 10,000 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the

electron is 10,000 meters per seconds.
