Battery packs in some electronic devices are charged using an adapter connected to a wall socket. Speculate as to the purpose of the adapter.
Jio Almonte is the executive assistant in the Torralba-Santos group of companies. Because of his background in computer engineering, he has been the "go-to" guy for repairing desktop computers in the company. One day, while he was troubleshooting a co-worker's 12-volt power supply, he was electrocuted. Seeing that he forgot to wear his gloves, and he was deliberately pulled to fix it while he was washing his coffee mug, the others worried that he might not survive and immediately dialed 911.
Knowing that standard power supplies run on 300 W of power, and the Philippines uses 230 V as residential voltage stated in the Philippine Electrical Code, compute for the current flowing in the power supply.
What is the smallest capacitor needed in a computer power supply in order to produce at least 4.45 V for 0.21 s after the power goes off? Assume that the resistance of all the components of the computer motherboard is 6 Ohms and that the capacitor and motherboard are powered with a 5-Volt power supply.
