What Advantage does a voltmeter have over a noncontact voltage indicator when testing for voltage

Answer:

Obviously you shouldn't rely just on the meter for your safety. You'd disconnect wall fuses or kill main switches before you start, using the meter just gives you some extra protection: with the meter you might notice for example that you've disconnected the wrong fuse and the unit is still live.

Explanation:

Hope it helps! :)

A wooden pallet carrying 540kg rests on a wooden floor. (a) a forklift driver decides to push it without lifting it.what force m
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "1481.76 N".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Mass,

m = 540 kg

Coefficient of static friction,

\mu_s = 0.28

Now,

The applied force will be:

⇒ F=\mu_s mg

By substituting the values, we get

       =0.28\times 540\times 9.8

       =1481.76 \ N

Calculate the radius of gyration for a bar of rectangular cross section with thickness t and width w for bending in the directio
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

a)R= sqrt( wt³/12wt)

b)R=sqrt(tw³/12wt)

c)R= sqrt ( wt³/12xcos45xwt)

Explanation:

Thickness = t

Width = w

Length od diagonal =sqrt (t² +w²)

Area of raectangle = A= tW

Radius of gyration= r= sqrt( I/A)

a)

Moment of inertia in the direction of thickness I = w t³/12

R= sqrt( wt³/12wt)

b)

Moment of inertia in the direction of width I = t w³/12

R=sqrt(tw³/12wt)

c)

Moment of inertia in the direction of diagonal I= (w t³/12)cos 45=( wt³/12)x 1/sqrt (2)

R= sqrt ( wt³/12xcos45xwt)

Find the following for an input of 120 VAC(RMS), 60 hertz, given a 10:1 stepdown transformer, and a full-wave bridge rectifier.
atroni [7]

Answer:

(i) 169.68 volt

(ii) 16.90 volt

(iii) 16.90 volt

(iv) 108.07 volt

(v) 2.161 A

Explanation:

Turn ratio is given as 10:1

We have given that input voltage v_p=120volt

(i) We know that peak voltage is give by v_{peak}=\sqrt{2}v_p=\sqrt{2}\times 120=169.68volt

(ii) We know that for transformer \frac{v_p}{v_s}=\frac{n_p}{n_s}

So \frac{169.08}{v_s}=\frac{10}{1}

v_s=16.90volt

So peak voltage in secondary will be 16.90 volt

(iii) Peak voltage of the rectifier will be equal to the peak voltage of the secondary

So peak voltage of the rectifier will be 16.90 volt

(iv) Dc voltage of the rectifier is given by v_{dc}=\frac{2v_m}{\pi }=\frac{2\times 1.414\times 120}{3.14}=108.07volt

(v) Now dc current is given by i_{dc}=\frac{v_{dc}}{R}=\frac{108.07}{50}=2.1614A

The time to half-maximum voltage is how long it takes the capacitor to charge halfway. Based on your experimental results, how l
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Time taken for the capacitor to charge to 0.75 of its maximum capacity = 2 × (Time take for the capacitor to charge to half of its capacity)

Explanation:

The charging of a capacitor/the build up of its voltage follows an exponential progression and is given by

V(t) = V₀ [1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ]

where k = (1/time constant)

when V(t) = V₀/2

(1/2) = 1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ

e⁻ᵏᵗ = 0.5

In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.5 = - 0.693

-kt = - 0.693

kt = 0.693

t = (0.693/k)

Recall that k = (1/time constant)

Time to charge to half of max voltage = T(1/2)

T(1/2) = 0.693 (Time constant)

when V(t) = 0.75

0.75 = 1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ

e⁻ᵏᵗ = 0.25

In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.25 = -1.386

-kt = - 1.386

kt = 1.386

t = 1.386(time constant) = 2 × 0.693(time constant)

Recall, T(1/2) = 0.693 (Time constant)

t = 2 × T(1/2)

Hope this Helps!!!
