A plate of area $10\ cm^2$ is to be electroplated with copper $($density $9000\ kg/m^3)$ to a thickness of $10$ micrometres on both sides, using a cell of $12V$. Calculate the energy spent by the cell in the process of deposition. If this energy is used to heat $100g$ of water, calculate the rise in the temperature of the water. $\text{ECE}$ of copper $= 3 \times 10^{-7}\ kg \ C^{-1}$ and specific heat capacity of water $= 4200J\ kg^{-1}.$

An electric bulb, when connected across a power supply of 220V, consumes a power of 60W. If the supply drops to 180V, what will be the power consumed? If the supply is suddenly increased to 240V, what will be the power consumed?

The coil of an electric bulb takes 40 watts to start glowing. If more than 40W is supplied, 60% of the extra power is converted into light and the remaining into heat. The bulb consumes 100W at 220V. Find the percentage drop in the light intensity at a point if the supply voltage changes from 220V to 200V.
