A kayak on a lake is moving at a constant speed of 2.4 m/s in a direction 41.2° north of west. After 27 min, find the following.

On your first day at work as an electrical technician, you are asked to determine the resistance per meter of a long piece of wi

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$0.06\Omega/m$

Explanation:

Firstly, when you measure the voltage across the battery, you get the emf,

E = 13.0 V

In order to proceed we have to assume that the voltmeter offers no loading effect, which is a valid assumption since it has a very high resistance.

Secondly, the wires must be uniform. So the resistance per unit length is constant (say z). Now, even though the ammeter has very little resistance it cannot be ignored as it must be of comparable value/magnitude when compared to the wires. This is can seen in the two cases when currents were measured. Following Ohm's law and the resistance of a length of wire being proportional to it's length, we should have gotten half the current when measuring with the 40 m wire with respect to the 20 m wire ( $I=\frac{V}{R}$ ). But this is not the case.

Let the resistance of the ammeter be r

Hence, using Ohm's law we get the following 2 equations:

$\frac{13}{20z+r} =7.6$ .......(1)

$\frac{13}{40z+r} =4.5$ ......(2)

Substituting the value of r from (2) in (1), we have,

$13=152z+7.6\times\frac{13-180z}{4.5}$

which simplifying gives us, $z=0.0589\Omega/m\approx0.06\Omega/m$ (which is our required solution)

putting the value of z in either (1) or (2) gives us, r = 0.5325 $\Omega$

A 217 Ω resistor, a 0.875 H inductor, and a 6.75 μF capacitor are connected in series across a voltage source that has voltage a

Nataly [62]

For an AC circuit:

I = V/Z

V = AC source voltage, I = total AC current, Z = total impedance

Note: We will be dealing with impedances which take on complex values where j is the square root of -1. All phasor angles are given in radians.

For a resistor R, inductor L, and capacitor C, their impedances are given by:

$Z_{R}$ = R

R = resistance

$Z_{L}$ = jωL

ω = voltage source angular frequency, L = inductance

$Z_{C}$ = -j/(ωC)

ω = voltage source angular frequency, C = capacitance

Given values:

R = 217Ω, L = 0.875H, C = 6.75×10⁻⁶F, ω = 220rad/s

Plug in and calculate the impedances:

$Z_{R}$ = 217Ω

$Z_{L}$ = j(220)(0.875) = j192.5Ω

$Z_{C}$ = -j/(220×6.75×10⁻⁶) = -j673.4Ω

Add up the impedances to get the total impedance Z, then convert Z to polar form:

Z = $Z_{R}$ + $Z_{L}$ + $Z_{C}$

Z = 217 + j192.5 - j673.4

Z = (217-j480.9)Ω

Z = (527.6∠-1.147)Ω

Back to I = V/Z

Given values:

V = (30.0∠0+220t)V (assume 0 initial phase, and t = time)

Z = (527.6∠-1.147)Ω (from previous computation)

Plug in and solve for I:

I = (30.0∠0+220t)/(527.6∠-1.147)

I = (0.0569∠1.147+220t)A

To get the voltages of each individual component, we'll just multiply I and each of their impedances:

$v_{R}$ = I× $Z_{R}$

$v_{L}$ = I× $Z_{L}$

$v_{C}$ = I× $Z_{C}$

Given values:

I = (0.0569∠1.147+220t)A

$Z_{R}$ = 217Ω = (217∠0)Ω

$Z_{L}$ = j192.5Ω = (192.5∠π/2)Ω

$Z_{C}$ = -j673.4Ω = (673.4∠-π/2)Ω

Plug in and calculate each component's voltage:

$v_{R}$ = (0.0569∠1.147+220t)(217∠0) = (12.35∠1.147+220t)V

$v_{L}$ = (0.0569∠1.147+220t)(192.5∠π/2) = (10.95∠2.718+220t)V

$v_{C}$ = (0.0569∠1.147+220t)(673.4∠-π/2) = (38.32∠-0.4238+220t)V

Now we have the total and individual voltages as functions of time:

V = (30.0∠0+220t)V

$v_{R}$ = (12.35∠1.147+220t)V

$v_{L}$ = (10.95∠2.718+220t)V

$v_{C}$ = (38.32∠-0.4238+220t)V

Plug in t = 22.0×10⁻³s into these values and take the real component (amplitude multiplied by the cosine of the phase) to determine the real voltage values at this point in time:

V = 30.0cos(0+220(22.0×10⁻³)) = 3.82V

$v_{R}$ = 12.35cos(1.147+220(22.0×10⁻³)) = 11.8V

$v_{L}$ = 10.95cos(2.718+220(22.0×10⁻³)) = 3.19V

$v_{C}$ = 38.32cos(-0.4238+220(22.0×10⁻³)) = -11.2V

Magnetism/ magnetic field ana magnetic forces

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Magnetism is a physical phenomenon that manifests itself in a force acting between magnets or other magnetized or magnetisable objects, and a force acting on moving electric charges, such as in current-carrying cables. The force action takes place by means of a magnetic field, which is generated by the objects themselves or otherwise. There are natural and artificial magnets. All magnets have two poles called the north pole and the south pole. The north pole of one magnet repels the north pole of another magnet and attracts the south pole of another magnet; the same with south poles.
