The power of sunlight reaching each square meter of the Earth's surface on a clear day in the tropics is close to 1 000 W. On a winter day in Manitoba, the power concentration of sunlight can be 100 W/m2. Many human activities are described by a power per unit area on the order of 10^2 W/m2 or less. (a) Consider, for example, a family of four paying $66 to the electric company every 30 days for 600 kWh of energy carried by electrical transmission to their house, which has value of the magnetic field 5.00 km from the antenna and (b) state how this value compares with the surface magnetic field of the Earth.

Estimate the total land requirements for wind farms generating an amount of electric energy equal to 2008 US annual consumption (4.4 × 1012 kWeh) if individual units are rated at 2 MWe, have a rotor with a 100 m diameter, and are spaced 3 diameters side to side, 10 diameters front to rear in giant contiguous wind farms having an annual average capacity factor of 25%. Compare the required area to that of North and South Dakota (combined land area of 145,000 square miles), which have some of the best US wind resources. Discuss the factors that would favor or impede the practical implementation of a Grand Midwestern Wind Farm plan to provide the bulk of US electric energy by the year 2050.
In practical terms, explain the implications of the inverse relationship that exists between power and capacity of energy production systems.

A 100MW hydro-electric station is supplying full load for 10 hours in a day. The water is supplied from a reservoir of 1km2 surface area. Calculate the reduction in the water level of the reservoir in one day. Assume effective head of water as 200 m and efficiency of the the station is 80%.
Please answer the following points in detail and rigorously. Instead ofresort to formulas, develop from basic principles (laws ofvoltages and currents, definition of electrical power, properties ofphasors, among others) d) Show that the complex power consumed by two elements in parallel is the sum of the individual complex powers. After, repeat the procedure but for two elements in series. e) What meaning would you give to the P consumed by an element? Which to Q? f) Suppose you know P and Q for a two-terminal element. What is the power factor of this element? When would i be in early and when behind? g) Suppose you know the equivalent resistance R and the reactance X equivalent of a two-terminal passive network. What is the factor power of red bliss? When would I be in advance and when in backwardness?

Two common methods of improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle are to reduce the drag coefficient and the frontal area of the vehicle. Consider a car whose width (W) and height (H) are 1.85 m and 1.70 m, respectively, with a drag coefficient of 0.30. Determine the amount of fuel and money saved per year as a result of reducing the car height to 1.55 m while keeping its width the same. Assume the car is driven 18,000 km a year at an average speed of 95 km/h. Take the density and price of gasoline to be 0.74 kg/L and $0.95/L, respectively. Also take the density of air to be 1.20 kg/m3, the heating value of gasoline to be 44,000 kJ/kg, and the overall efficiency of the car’s drive train to be 30 percent.
