Answer:

I=3A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of lamps N=4

Potential difference V=60v

Total Resistance of the lamp is R= 20ohms

Generally the equation for Current I is mathematically given by

 I=\frac{V}{R}

 I=\frac{60}{20}

 I=3A

A transmission line (TL) of length L and conductance per unit length G' is connected to an ideal constant voltage generator V. T
Andru [333]

Answer:

The Current will decrease by a factor of 2

Explanation:

Given the conditions, it should be noted that the current in the circuit is determined by the LOAD. In other words, the amount of current generator will be producing depends upon the load connected to it.

Now, as the question says, the load is reduced to half its original value, we can write:

P1 = \sqrt{3} (V) (I1) Cos\alpha ----- (1)

P2 = \sqrt{3} (V) (I2) Cos\alpha\\

Since, P2 = P1/2,

P1/2 = \sqrt{3} (V) (I2) Cos\alpha ----- (2)\\

Dividing equations (1) and (2), we get,

P1 / (P1/2) = I1/ I2

I2 = I1 / 2\\

Hence, it is proved that the current in the transmission line will decrease by a factor of 2 when load is reduced to half.

Which of the following explains the purpose of a convertible screwdriver?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The correct option is;

To be able to switch between different heads quickly and easily

Explanation:

A screwdriver is a tool or device that has a grip handle which surrounds an extension shaft that has a forged tip that fits into the complementary groove  on a screw head such that by turning the handle while the forged head of the screwdriver sits in a screw head, the screw is turned

A convertible screw driver is built with the capability to easily change the tip or other attributes of the screwdriver quickly.

A 6-pack of canned drinks is to be cooled from 23°C to 3°C. The mass of each canned drink is 0.355 kg. The drinks can be treated
Vesna [10]

Answer:

178 kJ

Explanation:

Assuming no heat transfer out of the cooling device, and if we can neglect the energy stored in the aluminum can, the energy transferred by the canned drinks, would be equal to the change in the internal energy of the canned drinks, as follows:

ΔU = -Q = -c*m*ΔT (1)

where c= specific heat of water = 4180 J/kg*ºC

           m= total mass = 6*0.355 Kg = 2.13 kg

           ΔT = difference between final and initial temperatures = 20ºC

Replacing by these values in (1), we can solve for Q as follows:

Q = 4180 J/kg*ºC * 2.13 kg * -20 ºC = -178 kJ

So, the amount of heat transfer from the six canned drinks is 178 kJ.
