Question

You are camping in a remote location and would like to have power at night.

However, you do not want to carry a heavy battery to store the energy from the

lightweight solar collectors that you are planning to carry in. The solar array that you

have can generate 5.50 in full sunlight. The array produces a potential difference

of 12.0 .

(a) How much capacitance is needed to store the energy produced by solar

array in 6.00 ℎ of full sunlight?

(b) The largest electrolytic capacitors you have available are 1000 each.

How many would be needed in parallel?

(c) How long could the stored energy power a tablet that uses 8.00 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) The largest electrolytic capacitors you have available are 1000 each.
