Explanation of Solution

Internet of Things Internet of Things is the idea of connecting all objects, whether having computational capabilities or not, to connect, gather and exchange data among each other with the help of sensors, software, and hardware for gaining efficiency, simplicity, economic benefits, and reduced human efforts in work processes.

There are a number of uses for which Internet of Things can be leveraged such as monitoring and tracking data, time tracking projects, application that raises money and such other cases.

The research shows that the number of IoT devices is increasing year after year and it is predicted that there will be about 30 billion devices communicating by the year 2020.

IoT devices are embedded with technology that communicate and interact over the internet which can be monitored and controlled remotely.

Imagine you wake up at 8 am in the morning by an alarm clock to go to work by a train on daily basis. At some day, your train is cancelled, and you must drive to work instead which you are unaware of. Driving to work takes longer and you would have needed to wake up earlier to be on time. Also adding on it there has been a major accident on the road the drive will be slower than usual. IoT enabled devices can help in such scenarios to be on time the next working day. An IoT-enabled alarm clock would adjust itself based on the factors and ensure that you reach work on time. It will calculate the driving distance and check for alternate routes and calculate the time you need to wake up and accordingly will set an alarm for that time.

The IoT is reaching further into our lives to help improve performances of individuals. Let’s list some of IoT devices which are in use today:

Smart Yoga Mat: Smart yoga mats can enhance the yoga experience of user by providing him feedbacks on number of calories burned, yoga postures and guiding on new postures.

Smart Refrigerator: A smart refrigerator can keep track of all the items in the stock, keep information on which are fresh or not, which are required to be purchased in near future and suggest the user on his/her smart phone regarding future purchase requirements.

Smartdiapers: Smart diapers can help in monitoring the baby’s urine for infection, dehydration or kidney problems before any future symptoms are seen.

Conclusion The Internet of Things connects any device to the Internet and other connected devices. IoT is a network that collects and shares data and is used to gain efficiency in various day to day working.

Please answer all questions 1. Calculate the magnitude (in RMS) of the current through R1 2. Calculate the magnitude (in RMS) of the current through R2. Simulation  1. Construct the circuit in Figure 2 in the Circuit JS simulator. Note that transformers in Circuit JS may be unstable. It is suggested to draw them by clicking from the bottom left corner to the top right corner and refresh your simulation before taking a measurement. 2. Perform a simulation, displaying the voltage across the voltage source, the current through R1, and the current through R2 in a “stacked” scope.  Display the RMS average for each trace. Include a screenshot.  Analysis 1. Compare the simulation results for the currents through R1 and R2. What is the percentage difference between the calculated and simulated value for each? Comment on why there may be a discrepancy.
Please answer all You and your crew have made it through the night and the day has brought more warmth.  After searching the industrial site, you find an abundant amount of fuel to run the generators to keep you warm.  You also find a memory card labelled “cure”, but your cell phone battery is dead.  First things first, you will need to stay safe as the zombies continue to hunt you in your current location.  The industrial site is surrounded by a metal chain-link fence.  You decide you will electrify the fence to keep the zombies from scaling it.  But the output voltage from the generators is not high enough to really deter them.  You would like to apply around 10 kV to the fence (AC or DC, at that voltage it doesn’t really matter).  You find a transformer that you can use but it only has a turn ratio of 10.  You find some diodes and capacitors and construct the circuit shown in Figure 3 with the intention of hooking Vout to the fence.   1. Perform a circuit JS simulation, displaying…
2. A three-phase transformer connection Yy, 2000 kVA, 20000/6000 V has the relative short-circuit voltages Ecc = 7% and ERcc = 1.7%.It is known that when empty this transformer consumes a power Po = 12.24 kW. Calculate:a. Parameters Zcc, Rcc, Xcc, referring to the primary and EXcc.b. If the transformer is connected at rated voltage and feeds a load of 1800 kVA, fp = 0.8, calculate the line voltage at the secondary.c. The maximum apparent power, and the maximum efficiency fp = 0.8 inductive.   Perform the exercise by the collaborators and without using artificial intelligence please
