Electricity Question?

We Answered:

I wouldn't bother with the solar cells. You can charge a battery that can run an LED or two with them, but that's about it. Houses have refrigerators, furnaces, fans, garbage disposals, and computers, all of which take vastly more power than your solar cells. The AC converter wouldn't do you any good, either: AC or DC, your source of energy is simply too feeble by a factor of perhaps 100.

So wire your house up with 120 volt power, which is probably what they want you to do. You'll learn how wiring is done and how power is distributed.

PLEASE HELP! Biology take home test! The professor did not go over any of this stuff!?

Easy, it's a take home test. You have time to look up the answers in your textbook. Breathe, read, Google.

Electricity Question?

We Answered:

you aint getting much out of 6 watts...... a handfull of leds maby.

why not add some rechargeable batteries to your circuit so you can run more sutff...... and say the solar panals charge the batteries.

LEDs only run off DC .

inverters convert dc to ac. you can pick up a 100watt inverter for about 40-50 bucks

almost anything that runs off ac can also run off dc..... the basic concept anyway

all these run off dc
electric motors
solonoids
logic circuits
relays
elecro magnets.
transistors
---------

All batteries charge off dc

any functional space heater is going to want far more watts than your wlling to give
