(4) When a heater with a certain resistance was connected to a 200 V supply, 120000 J heat was generated.
Find Quantity of electric charge passed through the heater ?
Find out the resistance of the heater ?
Answer:
V = 200 V, t = 5 * 60 s = 300 s
H = 120000
H = VIt
H 120000
I=H/Vt =120000/(200x300)
I = 2A
Charge 0 = It = 2 x 300 = 600 C
or we can say
Quantity of heat generated H = VQ
Q = H/V = 120000/200 = 600 C
Answer:
Another Method
To find the quantity of electric charge that passed
through the heater, you can use the formula:
charge = energy / voltage
Substituting the given values, we get:
charge = 120000 J / 200 V
charge = 600 Coulombs
To find the resistance of the heater, you can use the formula:
resistance = voltage / current
Since we know the voltage and the charge, we can use the formula for electric current:
current = charge / time
Substituting this into the formula for resistance, we get:
resistance = voltage / (charge / time)
If we assume that the charge passed through the heater in a time of 1 second, we can solve for the resistance:
resistance = 200 V / (600 C / 1 s)
resistance = 200 V / 600 C/s
resistance = 0.33 ohms
(5) 'Damaged LED bulbs cause the formation of e-wastes'.
What are the damages?
Answer:
1. An LED bulb is a combination of many LEDs
connected in series. The bulb will fail to emit light if any one LED is damaged
or if the contact of any one LED is lost.
2. LED bulb will not emit light if the rectifier or
load resistor or filter capacitor is damaged.
3. Any damage in the bulb circuit.
(6) Resistance of an electric heater working in 230V is 1000 Ohm.
a) Write down the change of energy in electric heater.
b) Calculate the current utilized by the heater in one hour.
a) Electrical energy converted in to heat energy.
Power = Voltage * Current
Plug in the known values of Voltage and Resistance,
Power = 230V * (1000 Ohm)
b) To find the current utilized by the heater in one hour,
we first need to find the current in amperes (A) by using the formula:
Power = Voltage * Current
Current = Power / Voltage
Then, we can use the formula Current x Time = Charge
to find the charge passed in one hour.
Charge = Current x Time, where time is in seconds and
convert the seconds to hours by dividing the seconds to 3,600.
As, Current = Power / Voltage, thus we can directly
calculate the current utilized by the heater in one hour as Current = Power /
Voltage * (3600 sec/1 hour)
(V2t)/R = (230 x 230 x 60 x 60) / 1000
= 190440 J

(11) Safety fuse is a device which is used to protect an
electric circuit.
a) What are the features of a fuse wire ?
b) What are the precautions to be taken when a fuse is
connected in a house hold circuit ?
Answer:
Low melting point, an alloy of tin and load, possess appropriate amperage.
The ends of the fuse wire must be connected firmly at appropriate points.
The fuse wire should not project out of the carrier base.
Fuse wire must be connected in between the terminals of the porcelain bridge.
Don't use thick wire or copper wire as fuse wire.
