Gas insulation is important for transmission lines, outdoor insulators and Gas-insulated-
Substations (GIS). Understanding the breakdown mechanisms and behaviour of
insulation materials is key to the optimum design of insulation systems. The speed
distribution function of electrons in a gas containing electrons, ions and atoms is
controlled by the electric field strength, E, and can be expressed as fo (E, v). It
satisfies the relationship of (E, v) dv=1.

ii)
Convert the above electron speed distribution function into an electron
energy distribution function that satisfies the relationship f(E, ɛ) dɛ =1
where & is the electron energy and ƒ(E, ɛ) the electron energy distribution
function.
The electron number density is ne and the atom number density is na in
the gas. The ionisation cross section of the atoms by electron impact is a
function of electron energy, ɛ, and can be written as σ¡ (ɛ). Similarly, the
attachment collision cross section between an electron and an…

The council is exploring the concept of providing the electrical needs of the community by building a facility with photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight to electric potential energy. But they are facing resistance from members of the community, who claim that there is not enough open land in the community to build such a facility. The opposition is building toward a lawsuit, which the city council wants to avoid. The community requires 2.00 MW of power, and the best photovoltaic cells on the market at the time have an efficiency of 30.0%. In your community, an average intensity of sunlight during the day is 1,190 W/m2.

- In the classic model for electrical conduction, electron mobility u in a metal wire is defined as where v, is the drift velocity of the electrons and E is the electric field in the metal. This parameter is a measure of how freely electrons can travel through a metal when an electric field is applied, such as when the ends of a metal wire are connected to a potential difference.

- Electrons flow through a 3.0-mm-diameter aluminum wire at 1.8×10−4 m/s. How many electrons move through a cross section of the wire each day?arrow_forwardAn incandescent lightbulb is an inexpensive but highly inefficient device that converts electrical energy into light. It converts about 10 percent of the electrical energy it consumes into light while converting the remaining 90 percent into heat. The glass bulb of the lamp heats up very quickly as a result of absorbing all that heat and dissipating it to the surroundings by convection and radiation. Consider an 8-cm-diameter 60-W lightbulb in a room at 25°C. The emissivity of the glass is 0.9. Assuming that 10 percent of the energy passes through the glass bulb as light with negligible absorption and the rest of the energy is absorbed and dissipated by the bulb itself by natural convection and radiation, determine the equilibrium temperature of the glass bulb. Assume the interior surfaces of the room to be at room temperature.arrow_forwardAn electric current of 5 A passing through a resistor has a measured voltage of 6 V across the resistor. The resistor is cylindrical with a diameter of 2.5 cm and length of 15 cm. The resistor has a uniform temperature of 90°C and the room air temperature is 20°C. Assuming that heat transfer by radiation is negligible, determine the heat transfer coefficient by convection.arrow_forward
