The image attached is a neat copy of a photo of an electricity meter for a domestic solar array. The display shows the energy we sold to the electricity company on a winter's day. Each box is 100 W high and 1 hr wide. At the radius of the earth's orbit, the intensity of sunlight is I=1.4 kW.m–2 . (This means that 1.4 kW.m–2 passes through 1 square metre at right angles to the sun's rays.) The solar array in the previous question consists of 10 panels, each with area A=1.6 m2 . Under optimal conditions - with the sun at right angles to the array and no clouds in the sky - the array produces Pout=2.3 kW .
What is the efficiency of the array? Power out/power in = _____ %.

- The coil of an electric generator produces a maximum EMF of 55.00V when it is rotated at 330.0 RPM. How fast should it be rotated to produce a maximum EMF of 35.00V? Show the algebraic form of any equation(s) that you apply. Find the rotational speed and report it to the correct number of significant figures and with correct units.arrow_forwardImagine that we had two coils placed near each other. We measured an induced emf in coil 2 = 16.2 V when the current in coil 1 was changing as 0.3t5 A for 1.5 seconds. What if instead, we made the current in the other coil (coil 2) change at a constant rate of 4.1 A/s? Then what would the induced emf in coil 1 be ? Assume that both coils only have 1 turn each.arrow_forwardIgnoring air resistance and the little friction from the plastic tube, the magnet was a freely-falling object in each trial. If a freely-falling object is traveling twice as fast after it has fallen 40 m than after falling 10 m, what do you predict the maximum emf would be if you drop the magnet through the same coil from a height of 40 cm? 40 cm would have a lower emf value than 40 m.
