TEST 1, Semester I, Session 2020/2021

Instructions: Answer all questions . Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Q1 (a) How many coulombs are represented by these amounts of electrons?

(i) 6.482  1017

(ii) 2.46  1019
(2 marks)

(b) A flashlight battery has a rating of 0.8 ampere-hours (Ah) and a lifetime of 10 hours.

(i) How much power can it give if its terminal voltage is 6 V?

(ii) How much energy is stored in the battery in kWh?

(5 marks)

(c) An electric stove with four burners and an oven is used in preparing a meal as
follows;

Burner 1: 20 minutes Burner 2: 40 minutes

Burner 3: 15 minutes Burner 4: 45 minutes
Oven: 30 minutes

The meals have to be prepared 2 times per day for month April and May.

If each burner is rated at 1.2 kW and the oven at 1.8 kW, and electricity costs will
follow the TNB tariff for residential unit as in Table 1, calculate the total cost of
electricity used in preparing the meal for April and May.
(8 marks)
