If each cell in the module in Problem 4 produces 3A, describe the system required to produce at least 20 A at 32 V.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

To obtain 32 V from a PV module, how many individual cells must be used and how should they be connected (assume 0.5 V per cell)?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The cells within the module are in series (as shown in problem 4), so the module voltage is 32 V and the module is rated for 3 A.

To produce 20 A total, (20 A/3 A) = 7 modules in parallel are required. ITOT = 7(3A) = 21 A

Answer to Question 2

Number of series cells = 32 V/0.5 V = 64 cells in series

Adults are resistant to the bacterium that causes Botulism. These bacteria thrive in honey – therefore, honey should never be given to infants since their immune systems are not yet resistant.

Chronic marijuana use can damage the white blood cells and reduce the immune system's ability to respond to disease by as much as 40%. Without a strong immune system, the body is vulnerable to all kinds of degenerative and infectious diseases.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

To maintain good kidney function, you should drink at least 3 quarts of water daily. Water dilutes urine and helps prevent concentrations of salts and minerals that can lead to kidney stone formation. Chronic dehydration is a major contributor to the development of kidney stones.
