A circuit in a student’s room has a 15 A circuit breaker. One evening, she plugs in a computer (240 W), a lamp (with two 60 W bulbs), and a space heater (1200 W). Will this be enough to trip the circuit breaker?
A 5.5-kW water heater operates at 240 V.Should the heater circuit have a 20A or a 30A circuit breaker?ii.Assuming 85%efficiency,how long will the heater take to heat the water ina 0.2085-m3 tank from 20C to 80C?The density of water is 1,000 kg/m3and the specific heat capacity is 4,200 J/kg/C.
Look at a circuit
made up of a
resistor, a battery, a
capacitor, and a
switch. Take the time
constant of the circuit
to be 3.12 seconds.
So if the resistor has
a current of 420 mA
and a voltage of 12.0
V when the switch is
closed, calculate the
capacitance of the
capacitor.
