Chapter 1, Problem 1.1P
Broadly speaking, what are the two main objectives of electrical systems?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To discuss:
The two main objectives of electrical systems.
Explanation of Solution
The two main objectives of the electrical systems are
- The aim of an electrical system is to collect, save, alter, transfer and exhibit the information.
- Another aim of the electrical system is to generate, transmit, convert, distribute and store energy in various forms.
Energy is generated at the far stations because of several reasons like availability of the raw material, manpower, land and many more. It is generated at low voltage and then the voltage is raised as the losses are lesser in case of high voltages. To distribute it to the loads, the voltage is again stepped down as per the load requirement. This stepping up and stepping down of energy is done with the help of a device called transformer. Storing, processing and transfer of information is also a very essential part of an electrical system.

- Don't use ai to answer I will report you answerarrow_forwardYou are tasked with designing an electronic system for sensing the magnitude of a measurand (details and values to be provided on the day of the exam). The system must alert a user to a measurand value above a threshold, measured by an appropriate sensor, by turning on a buzzer (to make a sound). The buzzer must remain off below this threshold. All resistors used must be from the E12 series. This work is to be performed on TinkerCAD. To fully answer the question, you must provide: • Full calculations for all components you use, clearly indicated what you are calculating. • A screenshot of the TinkerCAD circuit with it in the buzzer off state (clearly showing the full circuit including the sensor). • A screenshot of the TinkerCAD circuit with it in the buzzer on state (clearly showing the full circuit including the sensor). • A written explanation of how the circuit works and justification of your design (approx. 200 words).arrow_forwardcan I have a written solutionarrow_forward
