Explain the problems and their possible solution for electricity problems ?​

Engineering

Temka [501]3 years ago

Answer:

1) Electrical surges

It can be occurred due to poor wiring in the house or lightning strikes or faulty appliances or damaged power lines. Surges are common and last for a microsecond but if you experience frequent surges lead to equipment damage that degrade life expectancy particularly.

Check the device that connects to the home grid or the wiring and try disconnecting the poor quality powerboards or devices from the outlet. If the surges don’t occur again, your problem is solved. If it is not, you must call an electrician.

2) Overloading

Sometimes your light fixture has a bulb or other fitting with high watts than the designed fixture. This is a code violation and the risk level is quite high. The high heat from the bulb can melt the socket and insulation present in wires of the fixture. This results in sparks from one wire to another and causes electrical fires. Even after the bulb is removed, the socket and wires will still be under damage.

It is always better to fit a bulb or any other fittings by staying within the wattage. If the fixtures are not marked with wattage, it is advisable to use a 60-watt bulb or even smaller ones.

3) Power sags and dips

Sags are dips usually occur when the power grip is faulty and electrical appliances are connected to it. It also occurs when the grid is made of low-quality materials. When this is the case, it draws more power when switched on.

2. A well of 0.1 m radius is installed in the aquifer of the preceding exercise and is pumped at a rate averaging 80 liter/min.
hodyreva [135]

Question:

The question is not complete. See the complete question and the answer below.

A well that pumps at a constant rate of 0.5m3/s fully penetrates a confined aquifer of 34 m thickness. After a long period of pumping, near steady state conditions, the measured drawdowns at two observation wells 50m and 100m from the pumping well are 0.9 and 0.4 m respectively. (a) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of the aquifer (b) estimate the radius of influence of the pumping well, and (c) calculate the expected drawdown in the pumping well if the radius of the well is 0.4m.

Answer:

T = 0.11029m²/sec

Radius of influence = 93.304m

expected drawdown = 3.9336m

Explanation:

See the attached file for the explanation.

import java.util.*;

public class FlipCoin

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

// Declare Scanner

Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);

int flips;

// Prompt to enter number of toss or flips

System.out.print("Number of Flips: ");

flips = input.nextInt();

if (flips > 0)

{

HeadsOrTails();

}

}

}

public static String HeadsOrTails(Random rand)

{

// Simulate the coin tosses.

for (int count = 0; count < flips; count++)

{

rand = new Random();

if (rand.nextInt(2) == 0) {

System.out.println("Tails"); }

else {

System.out.println("Heads"); }

rand = 0;

}
