Chapter 35, Problem 12A
What does it mean when you say that lines in a home are overloaded?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The meaning of overloading of lines in a home.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In a circuit, the current increases due to decreases in the resistance of the electric devices.
The electric system becomes overloaded if the current in the electric circuit becomes more than the rated current.
If the total resistance of all the devices in the home is large then the electric circuit needs more current for the flow of electrons in the circuit. The current of the electric circuit increase beyond the rated value and the lines in a home become overloaded.
Conclusion:
The overloading of lines in a home increases in the total current than the rated current in homes.

Set the wavelength to the (default) 0.55 microns and a single on-axis field point at infinite object distance. Set the image distance to 200 mm. Make the first surface the stop insure that the lens is fully filled (that is, that the entrance beam has a radius of 10 mm). Use the lens-maker's equation to calculate initial glass curvatures assuming you want a symmetric, bi-convex lens with an effective focal length of 200 mm. Get this working and examine the RMS spot size using the "Text" tab of the Spot Diagram analysis tab (OpticStudio) or the Spd command of the text widnow (OSLO). You should find the lens is far from diffraction limited, with a spot size of more than 100 microns. Now let's optimize this lens. In OpticStudio, create a default merit function optimizing on spot size.Then insert one extra line at the top of the merit function. Assign the…arrow_forward
