This is a multiple choice question. Please just give me the letter of the answer
A copper transmission cable 34 km long and 19.5 cm in diameter carries a current of 11 A. How much electrical energy (in MJ) is dissipated as thermal energy in 9 hours? Note: = 1.72x10-8 m
show the complete and organize solution and dont round off show the final asnwer in 4 decimal places if possible
A freezer that is never turned off draws an average current of 2.6 A when it is plugged into a 115 V outlet. What is the yearly cost of operating the freezer if the average cost of electricity is $0.18/kWh [round your final answer to zero decimal places]?
If you were to replace the freezer in Question above with one that draws an average current of 3.5 A, would result in a lower electricity cost.

- This quiz is about reading off the information on the oscilloscope grid. Voltage is vertical, and the reading will always be in divisions and hash marks. Four hash marks divide each division into five smaller intervals, to make it easier to measure a fraction of a division. The voltage division number in the reading will be 0 through 8 -- the bottom line is zero, the top line is 8, and the hash mark will be 0 to 4. The horizontal axis is time, and the time scale is (hopefully) properly calibrated. There are ten divisions total. Each division is divided up by five hash-marks on the central horizontal line, to make measuring the time easier. If measured from the left side, the central line would be five divisions away, and would be div 5. One sets the voltage and time units per division on the oscilloscope. The time knob is visible in the introductory figures. The voltage isn't calibrated, though. It will always be referred to in div. The bottom voltage level is zero.…arrow_forwardThis quiz is about reading off the information on the oscilloscope grid.
