Electrical circuits must be locked-out/tagged-out before electricians work on any equipment. Is this true or false?

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Equipment that are "locked-out/tagged-out" prevent the electrician from being electrocuted or attaining a serious injury in relation to it. Locking out an equipment prevents it from releasing its energy because such energy can be hazardous to the electrician. There are instances when the equipment accidentally starts up, thus, it is essential that the equipment's source of energy is isolated.

a) Potential in A: -2700 V

b) Potential difference: -26,800 V

c) Work: $4.3\cdot 10^{-15} J$

Explanation:

The electric potential at a distance r from a single-point charge is given by:

$V(r)=\frac{kq}{r}$

where

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have a system of two charges, so the total potential at a certain point will be given by the algebraic sum of the two potentials.

Charge 1 is

$q_1=+2.00\mu C=+2.00\cdot 10^{-6}C$

and is located at the origin (x=0, y=0)

Charge 2 is

$q_2=-3.00 \mu C=-3.00\cdot 10^{-6}C$

and is located at (x=0, y = 0.40 m)

Point A is located at (x = 0.40 m, y = 0)

The distance of point A from charge 1 is

$r_{1A}=0.40 m$

So the potential due to charge 2 is

$V_1=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(+2.00\cdot 10^{-6})}{0.40}=+4.50\cdot 10^4 V$

The distance of point A from charge 2 is

$r_{2A}=\sqrt{0.40^2+0.40^2}=0.566 m$

So the potential due to charge 1 is

$V_2=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(-3.00\cdot 10^{-6})}{0.566}=-4.77\cdot 10^4 V$

Therefore, the net potential at point A is

$V_A=V_1+V_2=+4.50\cdot 10^4 - 4.77\cdot 10^4=-2700 V$

Here we have to calculate the net potential at point B, located at

(x = 0.40 m, y = 0.30 m)

The distance of charge 1 from point B is

$r_{1B}=\sqrt{(0.40)^2+(0.30)^2}=0.50 m$

So the potential due to charge 1 at point B is

$V_1=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(+2.00\cdot 10^{-6})}{0.50}=+3.60\cdot 10^4 V$

The distance of charge 2 from point B is

$r_{2B}=\sqrt{(0.40)^2+(0.40-0.30)^2}=0.412 m$

So the potential due to charge 2 at point B is

$V_2=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(-3.00\cdot 10^{-6})}{0.412}=-6.55\cdot 10^4 V$

Therefore, the net potential at point B is

$V_B=V_1+V_2=+3.60\cdot 10^4 -6.55\cdot 10^4 = -29,500 V$

So the potential difference is

$V_B-V_A=-29,500 V-(-2700 V)=-26,800 V$

The work required to move a charged particle across a potential difference is equal to its change of electric potential energy, and it is given by

$W=q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

In this problem, we have:

$q=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the charge of the electron

$\Delta V=-26,800 V$ is the potential difference

Therefore, the work required on the electron is

$W=(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-26,800)=4.3\cdot 10^{-15} J$

grigory [225]

Answer:

The elastic modulus of the steel is 139062.5 N/in^2

Explanation:

Elastic modulus = stress ÷ strain

Load = 89,000 N

Area of square cross section of the steel bar = (0.8 in)^2 = 0.64 in^2

Stress = load/area = 89,000/0.64 = 139.0625 N/in^2

Length of steel bar = 4 in

Extension = 4×10^-3 in

Strain = extension/length = 4×10^-3/4 = 1×10^-3

Elastic modulus = 139.0625 N/in^2 ÷ 1×10^-3 = 139062.5 N/in^2

Answer: the mass flow rate of concentrated brine out of the process is 46,666.669 kg/hr

Explanation:

F, W and B are the fresh feed, brine and total water obtained

w = 2 x 10^4 L/h

we know that

F = W + B

we substitute

F = 2 x 10^4 + B

F = 20000 + B .................EQUA 1

solute

0.035F = 0.05B

B = 0.035F/0.05

B = 0.7F

now we substitute value of B in equation 1

F = 20000 + 0.7F

0.3F = 20000

F = 20000/0.3

F = 66666.67 kg/hr

B = 0.7F

B = 0.7 * F

B = 0.7 * 66666.67

B = 46,666.669 kg/hr

the mass flow rate of concentrated brine out of the process is 46,666.669 kg/hr
