MCQ 1511 Mark
An electric heater is rated 100W and 220V. If it is operated on 110V. The power consumption will be:
  • A
    10W
  • B
    25W
  • C
    15W
  • D
    100W
Answer
  1. 25W

Explanation:

$\text{R}=\frac{\text{V}^{2}}{\text{P}}=\frac{(220)^{2}}{100}=484\Omega$

The resistance of the bulb remains constant

if the supply voltage is reduced to 110V then V $=110\text{V}$

 the power consumed by it is given by the expression $=\frac{\text{V}^{2}}{\text{R}}=\frac{(110)^{2}}{484}=25\text{W}$

An electric fuse works on the ______effect of current:
  • A
    Heating
  • B
    Magnetic
  • C
    Chemical
  • D
    None of these
Answer
  1. Heating

Explanation:

Electric fuse work on the principal of heating effect of current.

Fuse wire is a wire of high resistance and low melting point.

When very large current will pass through it, heat will be generated which will melt the fuse wire and break the circuit.

By using electric fuses in home we can protect the home appliances from damaging by large amount of current.

MCQ 1571 Mark
An electrical appliance has a resistance of $25 Ω.$ When this electrical appliance is connected to a 230V supply line, the current passing through it will be:
  • A
    0.92A.
  • B
    2.9A.
  • C
    9.2A.
  • D
    92A.
Answer
  1. 9.2A.

Explanation:

Resistance = $25Ω$

Voltage = 230V

$\text{Current}=\frac{\text{Voltage}}{\text{Resistance}}$

$\text{I}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}$

$\text{I}=\frac{230}{25}$

$\text{I}=9.2\text{A}$

Thus, if an electrical appliance has a resistance of $25Ω$ and when that electrical appliance is connected to a 230V supply line, the current passing through it will be 9.2A.

MCQ 1581 Mark
A 24V potential difference is applied across a parallel combination of four 6Ω resistor. The current in each resistor is:
  • A
    1A
  • B
    4A
  • C
    16A
  • D
    36A
Answer
  1. 4A

Explanation:

Since the resistors are connected in parallel,the voltage across each resistor is the same ,i.e 24V.

Therefore, current in each resistor can now simply be calculated using the relation,

$\text{I}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{24}{6.0}=4.0\text{ A}$

Answer
  1. 3J

Explanation:

Voltage(V) = 6V

Current(I) = 0.5A

Time(t) = 1sec

Energy generated = VIt

⇒ Energy = 6 × 0.5 × 1 = 3J

A cylindrical conductor of length l and uniform area of crosssection A has resistance R. Another conductor of length 2l and resistance R of the same material has area of cross section:
  • A
    $\frac{\text{A}}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{3\text{A}}{2}$
  • C

MCQ 1671 Mark
A car headlight bulb working on a 12V car battery draws a current of 0.5A. The resistance of the light bulb is:
  • A
    $0.5Ω$
  • B
    $6Ω$
  • C
    $12Ω$
  • D
    $24Ω$
Answer
  1. $24Ω$

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 12V

Current, I = 0.5A
Resistance, $\text{R}=\frac{\text{Voltage}}{\text{Current}}$ 

$\text{R}=\frac{12}{0.5}$

$\text{R} = 24Ω$

Thus, if a car's headlight bulb working on a 12V car battery draws a current of 0.5A, the resistance of the light bulb will be $ 24Ω$
