The current drawn by fluorescent lighting has a high total harmonic distortion. For this case, THD is calculated to be 88%. The

true power factor is measured to be 0.72 lagging. What is the displacement power factor (ie. if all harmonics could be filtered out)? Assume the source voltage waveform is undistorted.

Answer:

displacement power factor is 0.959087

Explanation:

given data

THD = 88%

true power factor = 0.72

solution

we get here total harmonic distribution THD is express as here

THD = \sqrt{\frac{1}{g^2}-1}       ..............1

her g is distortion factor

so put here value and we will get g that is

0.88² =   \frac{1}{g^2} -1    

solve it we get

g = 0.750714

and

displacement power factor is express as

DPF = \frac{PF}{g}   .................2  

put here value and we will get

DPF = \frac{0.72}{0.750714}    

DPF  = 0.959087

An electric field is expressed in rectangular coordinates by E = 6x2ax + 6y ay +4az V/m.Find:a) VMN if point M and N are specifi
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a.) -147V

b.) -120V

c.) 51V

Explanation:

a.) Equation for potential difference is the integral of the electrical field from a to b for the voltage V_ba = V(b)-V(a).

b.) The problem becomes easier to solve if you draw out the circuit. Since potential at Q is 0, then Q is at ground. So voltage across V_MQ is the same as potential at V_M.

c.) Same process as part b. Draw out the circuit and you'll see that the potential a point V_N is the same as the voltage across V_NP added with the 2V from the other box.

Honestly, these things take practice to get used to. It's really hard to explain this.

Identify an object in your house that contains a physical system and list three questions you could use to define the system
jonny [76]

Answer:

ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love

All of these are true about GMA (MIG) welding EXCEPT that:
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

the welding gun liner regulates the shielding gas.

Explanation:

The purpose of the welding gun liner is to properly position the welding wire from the wire feeder till it gets to the nozzle or contact tip of the gun. <em>Regulation of the shielding gas depends on factors such as the speed, current, and type of gas being used. </em>In gas metal arc welding, an electric arc is used to generate heat which melts both the electrode and the workpiece or base metal.

The electric arc produced is shielded from contamination by the shielding gas. The heat generated by the short electric arc is low.

Q1. In electronic circuits it is not unusual to encounter currents in the microampere range. Assume a 35 μA current, due to the
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

2.9*10^14 electrons

Explanation:

An Ampere is the flow of one Coulomb per second, so 35 μA = is 35*10^-6 C per second.

An electron has a charge of 1.6*10^-19 C.

35*10^-6 / 1.6*10^-19 = 2.9*10^14 electrons

So, with a current o 35 μA you have an aevrage of 2.9*10^14 electrons flowing past a fixed reference cross section perpendicular to the direction of flow.
