Check Your Understanding Handheld calculators often use small solar cells to supply the energy required to complete the calculations needed to complete your next physics exam. The current needed to run your calculator can be as small as 0.30 mA. How long would it take for 1.00 C of charge to flow from the solar cells? Can solar cells be used, instead of batteries, to stall traditional internal combustion engines presently used in most cars and trucks?

Answer to Problem 9.1CYU
The time taken for the
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The charge in the solar cell is
The current is
Formula used:
The flow of the current is given by,
Calculation:
The flow of the current is calculated as,
The stator of the traditional internal combustion engine required the large amount of current in a very short period of time. But the solar cells provide small amount of current for the large period of the time. Therefore, the solar cells are not used to starts the traditional internal combustion engines.
Conclusion:
The time taken for the

- (a) A defibrillator sends a 6.00-A current through the chest of a patient by applying a 10,000-V potential as in the figure below. What is the resistance of the path? (b) The defibrillator paddles make contact with the patient through a conducting gel that greatly reduces the path resistance. Discuss the difficulties that would ensue if a larger voltage were used to produce the same current through the patient, but with the path having perhaps 50 times the resistance. (Hint: The current must be about the same, so a higher voltage would imply greater power. Use this equation for power: P=I2 RP = .)arrow_forwardTaking R = 1.00 k and = 250 V in Figure P21.49, determine the direction and magnitude of the current in the horizontal wire between a and e.

Construct a problem in which you determine the energy that must be supplied by the battery, and then calculate the amount of charge it must be able to move in order to supply this energy. Among the things to be considered are the energy needs and battery voltage. You may need to look ahead to interpret manufacturer’s battery ratings in ampere-hours as energy in joules.arrow_forward

- To enable continuous power even during night, you would need to have a regular 100 Ah, 12 V lead acid battery (you do not use much electricity in your small cottage). Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0 However, you happen to have an old empty well in your backyard and you start to think if you could somehow utilize that. After all, batteries do not last forever and you would like to find a more sustainable solution. Image: Pxhere.com, CC0 Lets imagine that you could rig a gravitational energy storage by hanging a suitable weight on a cable and linking this cable to a motor-generator: if surplus electricity is available, the motor would lift the weight upwards in the well. Then, when electricity is needed, the weight would drop downwards and rotate the generator to produce electricity. Assumptions: The available well depth is 10 m, i.e. the maximum height difference you can use for the gravitational energy storage is 10 m. You can neglect all energy losses, friction, weight…arrow_forwardMeasurements made during severe electrical storms reveal that lightning bolts can carry as much as 30 C of charge and can travel between a cloud and the ground in time intervals of around 100 μs (and sometimes even shorter).
