Currenet Electricity (10 Numericals)

1) The power rating and voltage rating of a device are 600W, 200V Find
a) current rating b) resistance offered by the device c) energy consumed in 1 hr

Ans:
a) Power =VI
I=P/V= 3 A

 b) R=V/I=200/3 ohm

 c) E=Power x time=600x60x60=2160000 J

 2) Two wires one of copper and other of Nichrome have same length and resistance Which wire will be thicker? Justify

Ans:
resistivity=Resistance x Area / length

 since length and resistance is the same for both the wires
we can compare their area

 The Nichrome wire, since an alloy will be having more resistivity ,will be thicker.

 3) A 15 ohm resistance wire is cut in to 3 equal pieces and then connected in parallel across a 5V battery Find a) current through each wire b) effective resistance
 Ans:
resistance is directly proportional to length of the wire
if it is cut in to 3 equal pieces resistance of each piece will be equal to 5 ohm
effective resistance of parallel combination 

 (1/R)=(1/R1)+(1/R2)+(1/R3)

 then R=5/3 ohm
since it is a parallel combination the pd is same across each resistor =5V
current through each resistor is V/R1=5/5=1 A
since each resistance is same so the current through each branch is also same

 a)  1 A  b) 5/3 ohm

 4) Find the work done in moving 10 electrons across a potential difference of 100 V

 Ans:
Q=ne
Q=10 × 6 × 10-19 C
V=W / Q
W=Q×V
W=10 × 6 × 10-19 × 100=6 × 10-16
Work done=6 × 10-16  J

Renewable Energy-Solar

The conventional energy sources are depleting at an exponential  rate .The energy crisis is a major concern for the nation around. The coal will last long only for 100 years or less petroleum resource will be exhausted nearly in 50 years time. The oil producing countries it self is moving towards the introduction of renewable energy sources , major among them is Solar energy. The energy production in the sun is  by the  nuclear fusion , hydrogen in the core of sun is converting in to heavier nucleus helium during this process the nuclear binding energy is liberating in the form useful energy . The plants can absorb the visible light and utilize it  for photosynthesis . The use of solar energy by natural means is coming only 1 to 2 % , rest of the energy is un utilized The solar energy capturing technique (Photo Voltaic) was introduced by Charles Fritts   in the year 1883 The solar energy can be  utilized in the following ways 1.  ...
