A power outage (also called a power cut, a power out, a power blackout, a power failure, a power loss, or a blackout) is the loss of the electrical power network supply to an end user.There are many causes of power failures in an electricity network. Examples of these causes include faults at power stations, damage to electric transmission lines, substations or other parts of the distribution system, a short circuit, cascading failure, fuse or circuit breaker operation.
Power failures are particularly critical at sites where the environment and public safety are at risk. Institutions such as hospitals, sewage treatment plants, and mines will usually have backup power sources such as standby generators, which will automatically start up when electrical power is lost. Other critical systems, such as telecommunication, are also required to have emergency power. The battery room of a telephone exchange usually has arrays of lead–acid batteries for backup and also a socket for connecting a generator during extended periods of outage.
Hallo, can anybody help me and check if i have the right result:
What is the minimum power P that a point source of radiation (I=8*10^(-7) W/m^2) at a distance of l=10 m from the listener must have in order to still be perceived? (Note: The emitted energy per area can be related to a spherical...
Hello,
I wrote a program that adds force to a car like so:
Engine Force = Power / Velocity
Drag Force = -Velocity²
Net Force = Engine Force - Drag Force = Power / Velocity - Velocity²
I'd like to determine power based on how fast I want a car of a given mass to reach a given speed, for...
Most generators work by rotating a coil within a magnetic field. This induces a current in the coil and can be harnessed as electricity. I was wondering if it would be possible to generate more power by using more than one coil with each one being progressively larger wrapped around the others...

Hello! I have seen mentioned in several papers the concept of power broadening, which (if I understand it right) means that the linewidth of a transition (say, in an atom) get wider with increasing the power of the laser used (even if the linewidth of the laser is kept constant). I am not...

I feel like i am spinning my wheels at the start here. so I figured that i would start with some type of wire loop that I could change its diameter. This would allow there to be a change in flux through the loop creating a current through the wire. i could then read the current through the...

I know how to calculate the power output and input by analyzing the current in put and output with multimeters and using the formula P=VI. But P_out is obviously incomparably smaller than P_in so the efficiency would suck this way. Is there a better way to do this??

I can say that the frictional force always against the rolling sphere and the velocity is increasing for the ball. So The dot product F.v keeps on getting more and more negative, so how can the Pf remain constant? Well the velocity increases along the incline and the force of gravity is down...

Initial velocity u=0
Let Final velocity be v
Then, KE acquired by the object=1/2mv²
So the answer must be option1 i.e. m¹
But my textbook says the answer is- m to the power zero.Please explain this discrepancy.

In AC-DC power supply modules, having non-isolated power converter topology may result in input "Line" (hot wire) been assigned to "Vss" (lower voltage rail) at output of power supply module, and N (neutral) assigned to Vdd (upper power rail). Inside single system, this usually does not results...

How is it possible for a welding machine to end up creating more power than what it started with if that is physically impossible? For ex; 200 amp @ 28vdc welding machine. starts out with main voltage being 120v @ 20amps = 2400 watts then converts it to 200 amps at 28vdc which = 5,600 watts of...

We transform the series into a power series by a change of variable:
y = √(x2+1)
We have the following after substituting:
∑(2nyn/(3n+n3))
We use the ratio test:
ρn = |(2n+1yn+1/(3n+1+(n+1)3)/(2nyn/(3n+n3)| = |(3n+n3)2y/(3n+1+(n+1)3)|
ρ = |(3∞+∞3)2y/(3∞+1+(∞+1)3)| = |2y|
|2y| < 1
|y| = 1/2...
∑((√(x2+1))n22/(3n+n3))
We use the ratio test:
ρn = |2(3n+n3)√(x2+1)/(3n+1+(n+1)3)|
ρ = |2√(x2+1)|
ρ < 1
|2√(x2+1)| < 1
No "x" satisfies this expression, so I conclude the series doesn't converge for any "x". However the answer in the book says the series converges for |x| < √(5)/2. What am...

Hi,
So the main question is: How to deal with power loss in E-M waves numerically when we are given power loss in dB's?
The context is that we are dealing with the damped wave equation: \nabla ^ 2 \vec E = \mu \sigma \frac{\partial \vec E}{\partial t} + \mu \epsilon \frac{\partial ^ 2 \vec...
So if I have a source of 5V and 20 amp then the maximum power I can get from the source will be:
$$ P_{max} = 5*20 = 100W$$
but my load can only take in 5 watts, it will blow up. But, does this have to happen or does my load only take what current it needs? My guess is that the load takes in...
This is the first part of the problem, which I solved.

Hi all,

OK, so I tried to relate the equation P=Fv to the given equation that Pave^2= 3(Pftp^2)/Nh. I put Nh in terms of distance to satisfy the requirement that the answer should be in terms of Pftp and distance by saying Nh = distance/Vave. I also substituted Pave with Fvage.
(FVage)^2 =...
This is not a homework question, but I am interested to calculate the power that can be extracted to perform useful work in two similar circuits. I have been told that it should be the same but this is not what I get.

∑(x2n/(2nn2))
We use the ratio test:
ρn = |(x2n2/(2(n+1)2)|
ρ = |x2/2|
ρ < 1
|x2| < 2
|x| = √(2)
We investigate the endpoints:
x = 2:
∑(4n/(2nn2) = ∑(2n/n2))
We use the preliminary test:
limn→∞ 2n/n2 = ∞
Since the numerator is greater than the denominator. Therefore, x = 2 shouldn't be...
