Chapter 28, Problem 58P
A car-battery charger runs off the 120-V rms AC power line and supplies 10-A DC at 14 V. (a) If the charger is 80% efficient in converting the line power to the DC power it supplies to the battery, how much current does it draw from the AC line? (b) If electricity costs 9.5¢/kWh, how much does it cost to run the charger for 10 hours if the power factor is 1?

- You decide to “go green" and use an exercise bike to power your home appliances. Assume that your exercise bike is rigged to generate electrical power with 60% efficiency. In other words, only 6/10 of the power you develop can be used to store electrical energy for later use. Consider your 3500-Watt central AC unit. You need to run this unit for 4 hours each day during the summer. If you can develop a sustained power of 300 Watts on your exercise bike, how long would you have to work out just to keep the AC running on a summer day?arrow_forwardGive an example of an electrical device that runs on DC. Explain how the device has to be adapted so that it can be plugged into the AC mains supply.arrow_forward
