Question
Chapter 32, Problem 1R
To determine
Find the basic safety rule when working with electricity.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1R
The basic safety rule when working with electricity is to turn off the power.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The basic safety rules to be followed when working with electricity are listed below:
- When hooking up with the standby systems, always turn OFF the power. Do not work with “live” equipment.
- Installation instructions provided by the equipment manufacturers should be read and followed carefully to operate equipment.
- Do not work with wet hands.
- Do not stand on water when working with electricity.
- After qualifying from the electrical testing laboratories, equipment such as panelboards, generators, transfer switches, and power inlets should be installed.
- Do not touch the bare wires.
Conclusion:
Thus, the basic safety rule when working with electricity is to turn off the power.

A communication satellite is in stationary (synchronous) orbit about the earch (assume
altitude of 22.300 statute miles). Its transmitter generates 8.00 W. Assume the transmit-
ting antenna is isotropic. Its signal is received by the 210-ft diameter tracking parabo-
loidal antenna on the earth at the NASA tracking station at Goldstone, California. Also
assume no resistive loss in either antenna, perfect polarization match, and perfect
impedance match at both antennas. At a frequency of 2 GHz, determine the:
(a) power density (in watts/m²) incident on the receiving antenna.
(b) power received by the ground-based antenna whose gain is 60 dB.
