(Heating effect of electric current and electric power)

State the factors on which the heat produced in a current carrying conductor depends. Give one practical

A current of 5 amperes is passed through a conductor of 12 ohms for two minutes .calculate the amount of heat

A domestic electric circuit of (220 V) has a 5 A fuse. How many bulbs of 100 W; 220 V rating can be safely used

State joules law of heating. Mention two practical applications of heating effect of electric current.

Tungsten used almost exclusively for filament of electric lamp. Why?

Write the relation between resistance (R) of filament of a bulb, its power (P) and a constant voltage (V) applied

application of this effect.

produced.

on this line.

across it.

A 1.5 kw electric geyser is operated for 3 hours. Daily and two 40 W bulbs are operated for 6 hours daily

Two bulbs A and B are rated as 90 W 120 V respectively. They are connected in parallel across 120 V source.

(i) Establish the relationship between SI unit and commercial unit of electric energy.

.calculate the units of electric energy consumed by them in 20 days.

Find the current in each bulb. Which bulb will consume more energy?

(ii) An electric lamp is marked 25 W, 220 V. It is used for 10 hours daily. Calculate :
(a) Its resistance while glowing.
(b) Energy consumed per day.

(c) Cost of using it at the rate of Rupees 5 for 30 days.

10

Write the relation between electric power (W) of a device with a potential difference (V) across it and current (I)

11

(a) Two identical resistors each of resistance 10 ohms are connected:

flowing through it.

(i) In series

(ii) In parallel, in turn to a battery of 6 V. Calculate the ratio of power consumed in the combination of resistors
in the two cases.

(b) Establish the relationship between 1 kWh and SI unit of energy.

12

(a) What is heating effect of current? Give two examples of appliances which work on this effect.

(b) An electric bulb is connected to a 220V generator. If the current drawn by the bulb is 0.50 A, find its power.
(c) An electric refrigerator rated 400W operates eight hours a day. Calculate the energy per day in kWh.
(d) State the difference between kilowatt and kilowatt hour.
