Consider a household that uses 22.0 kW-hour of electricity per day on average. Most of that electricity is supplied by fossil fuels. To reduce their carbon footprint, the household wants to install solar panels, which receive on average 376 W/m^2 from the Sun each day.
A) If the solar panels are 18.1% efficient (fraction of solar energy converted into useable electrical energy), what area of solar panels is needed to power the household?

Answer from: diamond8189

$A_{net} = 13.469\,m^{2}$

Explanation:

The daily energy consumption of the household is:

$\Delta E_{day} = (22\,kWh)\cdot (\frac{3600000\,J}{1\,kWh} )$

$\Delta E_{day} = 79200000\,J$

The needed area of solar panel to power the household is:

$\Delta E_{day} = \eta\cdot G\cdot A_{net}\cdot \Delta t$

$A_{net} = \frac{\Delta E_{day}}{\eta\cdot G\cdot \Delta t}$

$A_{net} = \frac{79200000\,J}{(0.181)\cdot (376\,\frac{W}{m^{2}} )\cdot (86400\,s)}$

$A_{net} = 13.469\,m^{2}$

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
