A fuse is an electrical safety device which should not blow, which should overheat and melts if current is too high. Its placed in the live wire before the switch. This prevents overheating and catching fire. A fuse have a specific current value for example - 3000 amps. So when choosing a suitable fuse you must use the above minimum value but less than maximum value. For example in a circuit there is 1000W flowing, you should choose more than 1000 amps fuse not less or else, it will melt.

A voltage V is applied to the primary coil of a step-up transformer with a 3:1 ratio of turns between its primary and secondary
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let N_p\ and\ N_s are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p}{N_s}=\dfrac{1}{3}

A resistor R connected to the secondary dissipates a power P_s=100\ W

For a transformer, \dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}

V_s=(\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})V_p

V_s=3V_p...............(1)

The power dissipated through the secondary coil is :

P_s=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

100\ W=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

V_p^2=\dfrac{100R}{9}.............(2)

Let N_p'\ and\ N_s' are the new number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p'}{N_s'}=\dfrac{1}{24}

New voltage is :

V_s'=(\dfrac{N_s'}{N_p'})V_p'

V_s'=24V_p...............(3)

So, new power dissipated is P_s'

P_s'=\dfrac{V_s'^2}{R}

P_s'=\dfrac{(24V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{100R}{9})}{R}

P_s'=6400\ Watts

So, the new power dissipated by the same resistor is 6400 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

If you lift the front wheel of a poorly maintained bicycle off the ground and then start it spinning at 0.69 rev/s , friction in
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

magnitude of the frictional torque is 0.11 Nm

Explanation:

Moment of inertia I = 0.33 kg⋅m2

Initial angular velocity w° = 0.69 rev/s = 2 x 3.142 x 0.69 = 4.34 rad/s

Final angular velocity w = 0 (since it stops)

Time t = 13 secs

Using w = w° + §t

Where § is angular acceleration

O = 4.34 + 13§

§ = -4.34/13 = -0.33 rad/s2

The negative sign implies it's a negative acceleration.

Frictional torque that brought it to rest must be equal to the original torque.

Torqu = I x §

T = 0.33 x 0.33 = 0.11 Nm
