A thin circular, isolated wire made of copper with radius R lies on a table with its ends
connected to a Volt meter. Another, straight wire lies exactly along a diameter of the
circular wire, connected to an alternate current source i(t) = I0 sin(wt).
The experimental setup is shown in the following Figure:

Which effective voltage Ueff does the Volt meter display?
R = 10 cm, maximum current I0 = 1 A, f = 50 Hz.
Give your answer in Volts with three decimal places

Your head of powertrain has found a battery cell with excellent specifications and yet cheap. He decides upon a 142s2p accumulator configuration using the cells with a capacity of 5.8 Ah. The manufacturer specifies an internal impedance of 1.5 mOhm. However, after a while you notice the cells are of horrible quality and their real capacity varies significantly leading to an unbalanced accumulator.

He performed experiements to find an approximation of the cells SoC relation to their open-circuit voltage (EMF) as shown in the following figure:

Assume due to imbalance, exactly half of the accumulators cells are at 40% SoC and half at 80% SoC. What current will be drawn at the maximum allowed power usage? Give answer in Amps to nearest whole number

• load for battery 160 Ah
• efficiency of 80% (Motor)

How far can you drive with one load? Give answer to nearest whol number in km.

The previous season you could recuperate only 27% of your initially stored energy, but this season a big improvement in your drivetrain allows you to recuperate 69% of the initially stored energy.  Knowing that you had 6.3 kWh of energy in your accumulator during the last season, how much energy must your new accumulator have, if you assume, that it’s the same length and speed? Give answer in kWh
