A 50 liter hot-water tank is used in the laundry service of a hospital clinic. The water in the tank is heated up using an electrical heater that is operated from 200V (mains) power line. The heater draws 9,4 A from the mains. Assume that the thermal resistance of the tank is Rt=0.04 ℃/W. The temperature of the tap water is 10℃. Maximum temperature of the water in the tank in the steady state is

FACTS: AC-DC converters take the AC power from wall outlets and convert it to unregulated DC. These power supplies include transformers that change the voltage of the AC that comes through wall outlets, rectifiers to save it from AC to DC and a filter that removes noise from the peaks and troths of the AC power waves.The DC-to-AC Converters are used to charge the batteries in the vehicles. These circuits are mainly used for driving low-power AC motors and are used in a solar power system. The DC to AC converters can be used in dc transmission lines for transmitting power to loads. QUESTION: What do you think is the main reason why we have AC power in our outlets instead of DC power? Explain your answer.
