(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.

Answer:

a) Electrical energy converted in to heat energy.

The change in energy in an electric heater can be found using the formula:

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.
