4. An incandescent lamp has a tungsten filament whose
resistance is 96 ohm at its operating temperature of
2900°C. Calculate the filament resistance when the lamp is
disconnected from the electric source under which
conditions the temperature is 24°C.
Determine the luminous efficacy of the following lamps having comparable illumination outputs:a. A 300 W incandescent lamp that emits 5820 lmb. Two 32 W linear fluorescent lamps that emit 2950 lm per lamp in a luminaire that consumes 70 W including the ballastsc. A 70 W metal halide lamp that consumes 88 W, including the ballast and emits 5500 lm
2. A parallel-plate capacitor initially has a capacitance of 100 F. What will be the
capacitance if the distance between the plates is doubled?

Calculate the resistance of the filament when it has a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. RTC at 0 degree Celsius is 0.005/°C. * Your answerarrow_forwardThe PureNSafe Company is designing a solar-driven, portable water disinfection system to be used by the military. The system is simply an inlet tube, a pump, a well-mixed chamber, and an outlet tube. Water is pumped continuously into the chamber where it is irradiated with UV light before exiting through the outlet tube into a collection vessel. The disinfection rate constant for UV light is 7.50 s-1, and the number of bacteria in the water must be reduced by 3.5 logs. Because the military needs the unit to fit into a backpack, they require that the unit’s chamber be no larger than 2.00 L. a) How much water will the system be able to produce during 10 hours of sunlight? b) If instead of a well-mixed chamber, the backpack unit is designed using coiled tubing (2.00 L total volume), how much water will the system be able to produce during 10 hours of sunlight?arrow_forward
- Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room or a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1364 W/m2 what angle should the polarizing axis of the second pane of the window make with the polarizing axis of the first pane of the window in order to reduce the intensity of the sunlight to 35% of the original value?arrow_forwardThe Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) of an air-conditioning unit is defined asthe ratio of the heat removed in Btu/h divided by the energy used in watts.The EEI (Edison Electric Institute) names an air-conditioning unit as anEnergy Star unit if it has an EER of 13 or greater.
