How does solar energy work

Physics
1 answer:
xz_007 [3.2K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When the sun shines onto a solar panel, energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow.

A disk with radius R and uniform positive charge density s lies horizontally on a tabletop. A small plastic sphere with mass M a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. F = Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)] b.  h =  (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)R/√[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

Explanation:

a. What is the magnitude of the net upward force on the sphere as a function of the height z above the disk?

The electric field due to a charged disk with surface charge density s and radius R at a distance z above the center of the disk is given by

E = s/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)]

So, the net force on the small plastic sphere of mass M and charge Q is

F = QE

F = Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)]

b. At what height h does the sphere hover?

The sphere hovers at height z = h when the electric force equals the weight of the sphere.

So, F = mg

Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)] = mg

when z = h, we have

Qs/2ε₀[1 - h/√(h² + R²)] = mg

[1 - h/√(h² + R²)] = 2mgε₀/Qs

h/√(h² + R²) = 1 - 2mgε₀/Qs

squaring both sides, we have

[h/√(h² + R²)]² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²

h²/(h² + R²) = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²

cross-multiplying, we have

h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²(h² + R²)

expanding the bracket, we have

h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²h² + (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

collecting like terms, we have

h² - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

Factorizing, we have

[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

So, h² =  (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²/[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

taking square-root of both sides, we have

√h² =  √[(1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²/[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]]

h =  (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)R/√[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

What is the combined resistance for two resistors with resistances of 10 Ohms and 23.7 Ohms if they are connected in series
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: 33.7Ω

Explanation:

Since there are two resistors connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

R1 = 10Ω

R2 = 23.7Ω

Hence, Rtotal = 10Ω + 23.7Ω

Rtotal = 33.7Ω

Thus, the combined resistance for two resistors is 33.7Ω
