Q.29. A house hold uses the following electric appliances :-
( i ) Refrigerator of rating 400w for two hours each day.
( ii ) Two electric fans of rating 80w each for twelve hours each day.
( iii ) Six electric tubes of rating 18w each for 6 hours each day.
Calculate the electricity bill of the household for the month of June if the cost per unit of electric energy Rs. 300.
Ans :- Energy consumed by refrigerator for
2h = p × t
= 400w x 2h
= 400 / 1000 kwh × 2h
= 0.8 kwh
Energy consumed by electric fans for
12h = p × t
= 80w × 2 × 12h
= 160w × 12h
= 160 / 1000 kw × 12h
= 1.92 kwh
Energy consumed by electric tubes for
6h = p × t
= 6 × 18w × 6h
= 180w × 6h
= 180 / 1000 kw × 6h
= 0.648 kwh
Total Energy consumed in the month of june
= ( 0.8 + 1.92 + 0.648 ) kwh × 30
= 6.568 × 30 kwh
= 197.04 kwh
= 197.04 units
Electricity bill for the months of june
= 197.04 × Rs.3
= Rs. 591.12
= Rs. 591
Q.30. A torch bulb is rated 2.5v and 750mA. Calculate
( i ) Its power.
( ii ) Its resistance. and
( iii ) The energy consumed its this bulb is lighted for four hours.
Ans :- Here V = 2.5 volt
I = 750 mA
= 750×10⁻³A
( i ) power (P) = VI
= 2.5 x 750 x 10⁻³
= 1875 x 10⁻³
= 1.875w
( ii ) Resistance (R) = V / I
= 2.5 / 759 × 10⁻³ Ω
= 3.3 Ω
( iii ) Energy consume of
E = p × t
= 1.875w × 4th
= 1.875 J/s × 4 × 60 × 60 Sec
= 26000 J
Q.31. How much current will an electric heater draw from a 220 volt line if the resistance of the heater (when hot) is 50 ohm?
Ans :- Here v = 220 volt
R = 50 Ω
I = ?
We Have,
I = V / R
= 220 / 50 A
= 4.4 A
Q.32. What is the resistance (hot) of an electric arc lamp if the lamp uses 20A when connected to a 220 volt line?
Ans :- Hare I = 20A
V = 220 volt
R = ?
We have,
R = V / I
= 220 / 20 Ω
= 11 Ω
Q.33. A resistance of 40 ohms has a current of IA following through it. Find the potential difference across its ends.
Ans :- Here, R = 40 Ω
l = 1A
v = ?
We have v = 1R
= 1 x 40 volt
= 40 volt
Q.34. One billion (10⁹) electrons pass from a point P towards another point Q in 10⁻³ sec. What is the current in ampere? What is its direction?
Ans :-Here n = 10⁹
e = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C
t = 10⁻³ sec
∴ total charge Q = ne
= 10⁹x1.6×10⁻¹⁹C
= 1.6×10⁻¹⁰C
∴ Current I = Q / t
= 1.6×10⁻¹⁰ / 10⁻³ A
= 1.6×10⁻⁷A
The direction of current is from Q to P.
Q.35. Calculate the current in a wire if a charge of 1500 coulomb flows through it in t minutes.
Ans :- Here Q = 1500 c
t = 5 min
= 5 x 60 sec
= 300 sec
I = ?
We have,
I = Q / t
= 1500 / 300 A
= 5 A
Q.36. Calculate the charge passing through a lamp in 2 minutes if the current is 300 milliampere.
Ans :- Here, t = 2 min
= 2 x 60 sec
= 120 sec
I = 300 mA
= 300 x 10⁻³A
Q = ?
We have, Q = I × t
= 300 x 10⁻³x120 C
= 36000 x 10⁻³ C
= 36C
Q.37. A conductor carries a current of 0.4A. Find the amount of charge that will pass through the cross-section of the conductor in 1.5 minute. How many electrons will flow in this time interval. Given charge on an electron = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹C
Ans :- Here I = 0.4A
Q = ?
t = 1.5 min.
= 1.5 x 60 sec
= 90 sec.
We have, Q = I × t
= 0.4 x 90 c
= 36 c
2nd part :-
n = ?
Q = 36 c
e = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ c
We have,
n = Q / e
= 36 / 1.6×10⁻¹⁹
= 22.5×10¹⁹
= 2.25×10²⁰ electrons
