Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1RQ
What are the three principal parts of an atom, and what charge does each carry?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The three principal parts of an atom and the charge that each one carries.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The three principal parts of an atom are the proton, the electron and the neutron.
A proton carries a positive charge.
An electron carries a negative charge.
A neutron does not carry any charge.
Explanation of Solution
Description:
The basic building block of the universe is the Atom.
Any substance that has mass and occupies space is called matter and all matter is made from a combination of atoms.
An atom is made of three principal parts, they are: Proton, Electron and Neutron.
A proton carries a positive charge.
An electron carries a negative charge.
A neutron does not carry any charge.
Conclusion:
The three principal parts of an atom and the charge that each one carries respectively have been explained.

- B:A 20 MVA transformer which may be called upon to operate at 30% overload, feeds 11 KV busbars through a circuit breaker: other circuit breakers supply outgoing feeders. The transformer circuit breaker is equipped with 1000/5 A CTS and the feeder circuit breakers with 400/5 A CTS and all sets of CTs feed induction type over current relays. The relays on the feeder circuits breakers have a 125% plug setting, and 0.3 time setting. If 3 ph fault current of 5000 A flows from the transformer to one of the feeders, find the operating time of the feeder relay, the minimum plug setting of the transformer relay and its time setting assuming a discrimination time margin of 0.5 sec.

The metal regions are shaded in grey and are made of copper. The solid central wire has radius a = 5mm, the outer tube inner radius b = 20mm and thickness t = 5mm. The dielectric spacer is Teflon, of relative permittivity &r = 2.1 and breakdown strength 350kV/cm. A potential difference of 1kV is applied across the conductors, with centre conductor positive and outer conductor earthed. Before undertaking any COMSOL simulations we'll first perform some theoretical analysis of Cable A based on the EN2076 lectures, to make sense of the simulations. Calculate the radial electric field of cable A at radial positions r b. Also calculate the maximum operating voltage of cable A, assuming a safety margin of ×2, and indicate where on the cable's cross section dielectric breakdown is most likely to occur.arrow_forward: For the gravity concrete dam shown in the figure, the following data are available: The factor of safety against sliding (F.S sliding)=1.2 Unit weight of concrete (Yconc)=24 KN/m³ - Neglect( Wave pressure, silt pressure, ice force and earth quake force) μ=0.65, (Ywater) = 9.81 KN/m³ Find factor of safety against overturning (F.S overturning) 6m3 80m Smarrow_forward
