technician A says that in any circuit, electrical current takes the path of least resistance. technician B says that while this

is true in a series circuit, it's not entirely true in a parallel circuit. who is correct?

Answer:

  technician A is correct

Explanation:

Technician B has circuit topologies confused. In a series circuit, there is only one path for electrical current to take. In a parallel circuit, the current will divide between paths in proportion to the inverse of their resistance. The least resistance path will have the most current.

Technician A is mostly correct.

The rectangular frame is composed of four perimeter two-force members and two cables AC and BD which are incapable of supporting
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Your question is lacking some information attached is the missing part and the solution

A) AB = AD = BD = 0, BC = LC

    AC = \frac{5L}{3}T, CD = \frac{4L}{3} C

B) AB = AD = BC = BD = 0

   AC = \frac{5L}{3} T, CD = \frac{4L}{3} C

Explanation:

A) Forces in all members due to the load L in position A

assuming that BD goes slack from an inspection of Joint B

AB = 0 and BC = LC from Joint D, AD = 0 and CD = 4L/3 C

B) steps to arrive to the answer is attached below

AB = AD = BC = BD = 0

AC = \frac{5L}{3} T,  CD = \frac{4L}{3}C

An electrical utility delivers 6.25E10 kWh of power to its customers in a year. What is the average power required during the ye
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The overall Utility delivered to customers in a year 'U' = 6.25 X 10¹⁰Kwh

However, the average power P, required for a year, t  = ? Kw

Expressing their relationship, we will have

             U = P x t

Given t = 1 year = 24 x 365 hours (assume a year operation is 365 days)

          t = 8760 hours

P = \frac{62500000000}{8760}

P = 7134.7Kw

Hence, the average power required during the year is 7,135Kw

Now to calculate the energy used by the power plant in a year (in quads)?

Recall, Efficiency, η = Power Output/Power Input (100)

so, we have

η = P₀/P₁, given

0.45 = \frac{7134.7Kw}{P₁}

P₁ = 15,855Kw

the total energy E₁ used in a year = 15,855x24x365 = 138.89MJoules

So to convert this to quads, Note;

1 quads of energy = 10¹⁵ Joules

The total energy used is 0.000000139 quads

Now to find the cubic feet of natural gas required to generate this power?

Note: 0.29Kwh of Power generated  = 1 cubic feet of natural gas used

Since, the power plant generated = 62500000000Kwh

The cubic feet of natural gas used = \frac{62500000000}{0.29}

Hence, 2.155x10²⁰cubic feet of N.gas was used to generate this much power.

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.

6.28 A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 4 ft from the right
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Assume Base free flow speed (BFFS) = 70 mph

Lane width = 10 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lane width, fLW = 6.6 mph

Lateral Clearance = 4 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lateral clearance, fLC = 0.8 mph

Interchanges/Ramps = 9/ 6 miles = 1.5 /mile

Reduction in speed corresponding to Interchanges/ramps, fID = 5 mph

No. of lanes = 3

Reduction in speed corresponding to number of lanes, fN = 3 mph

Free Flow Speed (FFS) = BFFS – fLW – fLC – fN – fID = 70 – 6.6 – 0.8 – 3 – 5 = 54.6 mph

Peak Flow, V = 2000 veh/hr

Peak 15-min flow = 600 veh

Peak-hour factor = 2000/ (4*600) = 0.83

Trucks and Buses = 12 %

RVs = 6 %

Rolling Terrain

fHV = 1/ (1 + 0.12 (2.5-1) + 0.06 (2.0-1)) = 1/1.24 = 0.806

fP = 1.0

Peak Flow Rate, Vp = V / (PHV*n*fHV*fP) = 2000/ (0.83*3*0.806*1.0) = 996.54 ~ 997 veh/hr/ln

Vp < (3400 – 30 FFS)

S = FFS

S = 54.6 mph

Density = Vp/S = (997) / (54.6) = 18.26 veh/mi/ln

A dielectric material, such as Teflon®, is placed between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor without altering the structur
Lina20 [59]

Answer: The electric field decreases because of the insertion of the Teflon.

Explanation:

If the charge on the capacitor is held fixed, the electric field as a consequence of this charge distribution (directed from the positive charged plate to the negative charged one remains unchanged.

However, as the Teflon is a dielectric material, even though doesn't allow the free movement of the electrons as an answer to an applied electric field, it allows that the electrons be displaced from the equilibrium position, leaving a local negative-charged zone close to the posiitive plate of the capacitor, and an equal but opposite charged layer close to the negative plate.

In this way, a internal electric field is created, that opposes to the external one due to the capacitor, which overall effect is diminishing the total electric field, reducing the voltage between the plates, and  increasing the capacitance proportionally to the dielectric constant of the Teflon.
