The resistance of the lamp is apparently 50V/2A = 25 ohms.
When the circuit is fed with more than 50V, we want to add
another resistor in series with the 25-ohm lamp so that the
current through the combination will be 2A.
In order for 200V to cause 2A of current, the total resistance
must be 200V/2A = 100 ohms.
The lamp provides 25 ohms, so we want to add another 75 ohms
in series with the lamp. Then the total resistance of the circuit is
(75 + 25) = 100 ohms, and the current is 200V/100 ohms = 2 Amps.
The power delivered by the 200V mains is (200V) x (2A) = 400 watts.
The lamp dissipates ( I² · R ) = (2² · 25 ohms) = 100 watts.
The extra resistor dissipates ( I² · R) = (2² · 75 ohms) = 300 watts.
Together, they add up to the 400 watts delivered by the mains.
CAUTION:
300 watts is an awful lot of power for a resistor to dissipate !
Those little striped jobbies can't do it.
It has to be a special 'power resistor'.
300 watts is even an unusually big power resistor.
If this story actually happened, it would be cheaper, easier,
and safer to get three more of the same kind of lamp, and
connect THOSE in series for 100 ohms. Then at least the
power would all be going to provide some light, and not just
wasted to heat the room with a big moose resistor that's too
hot to touch.
Answer:
the earth is flat, the stars control human life, the planets revolve around the earth
Explanation:
Answer:
The ice melts mass is:
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy
Heat gained by ice= mass(g) x 80 cal
( 1 cal = 4.184 *10^7er or g cm^2/ sec^2)
Assuming no loss in heat, in the motion so both continue with temperature 0~C
To find so the mass (gm) of ice melted
Answer:
ma = 48.48kg
Explanation:
To find the mass of the astronaut, you first calculate the mass of the chair by using the information about the period of oscillation of the empty chair and the spring constant. You use the following formula:
(1)
mc: mass of the chair
k: spring constant = 600N/m
T: period of oscillation of the chair = 0.9s
You solve the equation (1) for mc, and then you replace the values of the other parameters:
(2)
Next, you calculate the mass of the chair and astronaut by using the information about the period of the chair when the astronaut is sitting on the chair:
T': period of chair when the astronaut is sitting = 2.0s
M: mass of the astronaut plus mass of the chair = ?
(3)
Finally, the mass of the astronaut is the difference between M and mc (results from (2) and (3)) :
The mass of the astronaut is 48.48 kg
