The circuit shown in Fig. P4.5 is a model for a battery charger. Here vI is a 6-V peak sine wave, D1 and D2 are ideal diodes, I is a 60-mA current source, and B is a 3-V battery. Sketch and label the waveform of the battery current iB. What is its peak value? What is its average value? If the peak value of vI is reduced by 10%, what do the peak and average values of iB become?

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.

Describe one experiment in which the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of a totally amorphous thermoplastic material can be determined. show the relevant experimental results in a diagram which should be properly annotated with the two temperatures clearly marked. what is likely to happen to the curve in the diagram if the amorphous polymer is replaced by a thermosetting type?
