Answer to Problem 1R

The dishwasher is connected to circuitB5.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

A dishwasher is a machine used for automatic cleaning of dishware and cutlery. It consists of a motor, an electric heating element, and a small fan that is used to circulate hot air during the drying cycle.

A 120 volts, 20 ampere rated dishwasher is connected to B5 branch circuit that originates in Panelboard B.

Conclusion:

Thus, the dishwasher is connected to circuitB5.

Answer to Problem 1R

The size of the wire utilized to connect the food waste disposer is 12AWG.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

A THHN type 12 AWG-sized copper conductors are used to connect the dishwasher to the branch circuit. Any one of the wiring methods among nonmetallic-sheathed cable, EMT, or Type MC cable will be used depending upon the requirement.

Conclusion:

Thus, the size of the wire utilized to connect the dishwasher is 12AWG.

c.

To determine

Explain whether the branch circuit of dishwasher is required to be provided with AFCI protection or not.

c.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1R

Yes, the branch circuit of dishwasher is required to be provided with AFCI protection.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

As defined in NEC 210.8(D), AFCI protection is required to be provide for the branch circuit of dishwasher.

Conclusion:

Yes, the branch circuit of dishwasher is required to be provide with AFCI protection.

A rod coincident with the z-axis extends from 0 to -L.  If the rod carries a uniform charge density of pL (a) calculate the electric field intensity at a point h on the z-axis.  (b) Use your answer to show that when h>>L the rod behaves as a point charge of value plL . (c) How much larger than the length of the rod must h be in order that the answer to part b) is a reasonably accurate estimate.
The separation of two point charges with charges Q1=36pC  and ,Q2=9pC respectively, is 3 cm. If a third point charge Q3 is placed on the line joining Q1 and Q2 at a distance d from Q1 find Q3 and d that ensures that the force on all charges is zero.
5. The electric field on the positive z-axis due to a uniformly charged disk of radius a that lies in the x-y plane with center at the origin is claimed to be given by - Ps Z 2E 2 a² + z² Where ps is the surface charge density on the disk. Without deriving this formula, evaluate it for its probable correctness. (a) Is its symmetry correct? Explain. (b) If z>> a, it reduces to that of a point charge of value a²ps (c) if z> z is large the formula reduces to that of an infinite plane.
