True or False? A faulty voltage regulator can only cause a no-charge condition.

The statement “A faulty voltage regulator can only cause a no-charge condition” is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The given statement “A faulty voltage regulator can only cause a no-charge condition” is false.
Explanation of Solution
Voltage regulators are used to control and maintain the voltage at a constant level. It regulates the charging voltage of alternator.
In case of faulty voltage regulator, battery electrolyte is depleted quickly. This happens when battery is constantly over-charged. This condition is also known as over-charging condition.
Another symptom of faulty voltage regulator is dead battery. Due to this, battery loses the ability to charge or stop altogether. This condition is a no-charging condition.
Hence, a faulty voltage regulator can cause both no-charge condition and over-charging condition.
Conclusion:
Thus, the given statement “A faulty voltage regulator can only cause a no-charge condition” is false.

Along the centerline of the diffuser, the air speed decreases from entrance to exit as sketched. For the velocity field, calculate the fluid acceleration along the diffuser centerline as a function of x and the given parameters. For L = 1.56 m, entrance = 21.00 m/s, and exit = 17.5 m/s, calculate the acceleration at x = 0 and x = 1.0 m. Dexis Dentrance x=0 u(x) "exit "entrance x=L The acceleration at (x = 0) is -47 m/s².

The room is heated by a heat pump so that the temperature distribution at steady state is T(x, y, z) = (400–0.2(5x) 2-0.4y-0.6%) ˚C. Calculate the temperature change that the bird feels after 10.00 seconds of flight, as it flies through x = 1m. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The temperature change that the bird feels after 10.00 seconds of flight is 1.120 °C/s.arrow_forward

- Water is heated from 12°C to 70°C as it flows through a 2 cm internal diameter, 7 m long tube. The tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater, which provides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube. The outer surface of the heater is well insulated, so that in steady state operation all the heat generated in the water is transferred to the water in the tube. If the system is to provide hot water at a rate of 8 l/min, determine the power rating of the resistance heater. Also, estimate the inner surface temperature of the pipe at exit.arrow_forwardThe forming section of a plastics plant puts out a continuous sheet of plastic that is 3.2 m wide and 2 mm thick at a rate of 15 m/min.
