    Efficiency ( calculation )

    Question>> A transformer is rated at 10kW but is only delivering 9.8kW. Copper losses are 0.33kW and Iron losses are 0.2kW. Calculate the efficiency of the transformer. 98% 99% 90.4% 88.6% My calculation.. Efficiency = output/input X 100 therefore 9.8 / 10.53 ( this includes the...

    Help...Calculate the power dissipated by resistor 2 in the circuit here

    thanks Noz.. this is really funny because we have this last Monday and even our instructor can't figure it out that is why I brought this in the forum .. we know that the answer in the question was 17.8ohms but non of us have worked it out ... tsk tsk tsk .... anyway .. thanks guys for your...

    Help...Calculate the power dissipated by resistor 2 in the circuit here

    Hi chris, at first I was using the ohms law, yea you are right but after that >> Power dissipated by a resistor (R2, 10 ) is I squared R, so 1.33333 * 1.33333 * 10 = 17.77777 or 17.8 as in the answer. >> pls can you tell me which formula is that , I might missed that one during the...

    Help...Calculate the power dissipated by resistor 2 in the circuit here

    thanks guys I did tried the power law which is P= IXV , since the question is , Calculate the power dissipated by resistor 2 in the circuit so if I tried 10x20= 200V I've tried the 3,4,5 triangle so ( 5,10,15 ) that means , 15ohms/20V =0.75 Ive tried the Rt .. ( 1/5+1/10 ) = 0.3 so...

    Help...Calculate the power dissipated by resistor 2 in the circuit here

    Can anyone pls help how u gonna calculate this , I can't see the answer in the choices.. Calculate the power dissipated by resistor 2 in the circuit here R1 = 5 ohms R2 = 10 ohms and 20v in series connection the choices answer are. A) 19.9 watts B)10 watts C)17.8 watts D) 14.4 watts...

    I was not able to find the fault...gutted >> LOL

    SL, TBH , the sparky said that we need to raise the new shower unit a bit higher since its only 4.9ft above the basin, the regulation i was stating earlier, he just showed to me where to find all about showers and bath in special location section, I did ask this from him since I don't have my...

    I was not able to find the fault...gutted >> LOL

    Thanks KME. the shower unit cable was melted because it was installed very low from the floor level , when i open the unit i can see a trace of water ( moist ) it was not really safe because the unit is only about 5ft high .... I am aware about the shower and in fact i told my mate the he needs...
