7 The solar charger shown in Fig. 7.1 is used to charge portable electronic devices in a part of,
the world without any other electricity supply.
solar panels

Fig. 7.1
The dimensions of each of the solar panels are 0.25m x 0.20m. The solar power incident on
1.0m? of flat ground in this part of the world is 260W.
{a) Calculate the total solar power incident on the two panels of the charger.
solar power = a
(b) The output ofthe chargers 0.96, at 20V.
Calculate the efficiency ofthe charger.
efficiency = [3]
(@) Three devices A, B and are connected together and then connected to the 20V
charger. The potential diference (pd) across Ais measured as 14V, across B tis 14V
and across Cts 6.
Complete Fig. 7.2 to show the arrangement ofthe devices connected to the charger.

(d) Two other devices, D and E, have resistances of 209 and 300.
Calculate the total resistance of D and E when they are connected in parallel,
total resistance = (21
