A power of 120 kWkW (1.2×105 WW) is delivered to the other side of a city by a pair of power lines, between which the voltage is 12,000 VV. Part A - If each of the two lines has a resistance of 10 ΩΩ, find a change of voltage along each line. (Think carefully. This voltage change is along each line, not between the lines.). P = Part B - Find what is the power expended as heat in both lines together (distinct from power delivered to customers). P =

An automatic irrigation system is going to be used, this system is represented by the following block diagram: The irrigation system will work optimally when the connected load (resistance) has the value such that it can receive the most power from the control circuit, otherwise it could be wasted energy or even damage the system for its operation. Optimum operation of the entire system must be guaranteed. The control circuit of the irrigation system is represented by the following electrical diagram: Donde la resistencia de carga que se conectará entre las terminales a y b debe ser una de entre las tres cargas existentes:
When coal is burned in a power plant, it releases approximately 30 kJ of energy for every gram of coal that undergoes combustion. A percentage of the energy is used to generate electrical power, and the rest of the energy is lost as heat.
