Illinois Power&Heat just spent $5 million repairing one of
its electrical generating stations that was damaged by a tornado.
The loss was uninsured. Management has asked the public service
commission for approval to treat the $5 million as an asset for
rate-making purposes rather than as an allowed expense.
Required: What difference will this make to customers and
shareholders?
As part of the answer, explain what “RAP” is, and how/why it
might be different from GAAP.
Occupational safety experts have developed an alternative
criterion for electrical safety. They have found that shocks
lasting less than 3 s will be nonlethal if the product of the
voltage drop across the body, the current through the body, and the
time (≤ 3.0 s) that the current flows does not exceed 13.5 V⋅A⋅s =
13.5 J. Suppose that one hand of a potential victim is grounded and
the other hand touches a voltage source; suppose further that his
skin...
Explore the Electrical Safety Foundation International's web
pages on home safety located within the weekly readings. Then
answer the following questions:
What are the dangers associated with electricity in your
home?
What can be done to limit or prevent the possibilities of dying
or getting hurt?
what are the necessary steps researchers are taking to avoid the
bias and ensure that they have a significant and accurate estimate
of the true association between the exposure and the outcome?
6c): Why is it important to include electrical safety in the design of the instrumentation amplifier? How can the input coupling to the instrumentation amplifier be designed to avoid leakage current.
Please give me a good and long explanation, because it is an
exam question!!!
a. Give one safety hazard when using the Bunsen burner
and one precautionary to avoid this hazard.
b. What safety measures do you need to practice when using the oven
to dry the solid product?
