Question : 6
Total: 6
(a) An electric bulb is rated at 200V; 100W. What is its resistance?
(b) Calculate the energy consumed by 3 such bulbs if they glow continuously for 10 hours for complete month of November.
(c) Calculate the total cost if the rate is 6.50 per unit.
OR
(a) What is meant by the statement, "The resistance of a conductor is one ohm" ?
(b) Define electric power. Write an expression relating electric power, potential difference and resistance.
(c) How many 132 resistors in parallel are required to carry 5A on a 220V line?
Solution:  
(a) Here, potential difference across the bulb, V=200V
Power of the bulb, P=100W
As P=
V2
R
,R=
V2
P
=
(200V)2
100W

=
4×104
100
=400

(b) Electric energy consumed by 1 bulb in 10 hours for 30 days, i.e.,
W=Pt
=100W×10×30
=30000Wh
Electric energy consumed by 3 bulbs
=30000×3
=90000Wh
=90kWh
=90 unit
(c) Cost of 90 units of electric energy
=90×6.50=585.
OR
(a) Ohm's law states that current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference maintained across the two ends of a conductor at constant temperature and pressure.
Let current flowing through a conductor is I,V is the potential difference maintained across the two ends of conductor.
As per Ohm's law, VI
Thus,
V=IR
Here R is a proportionality constant called resistance.
As per the question, the resistance of a conductor is 1ohm.
Let V=1 volt and I=1A, then R=1ohm Hence, the resistance is said to be 1ohm if 1 ampere of current flows through a circuit due to the potential difference of 1 volt.
(b) Electric power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed in an electrical circuit.
The formula for electric power is given by:
P=VI
where,
P is the power
V is the potential difference in the circuit I is the electric current
Power can also be written as
P=I2R
P=
V2
R

The above two expressions are got by using Ohms law, where, voltage, current
and resistance are related by the following relation.
Where,
R is the resistance in the circuit.
V is the potential difference in the circuit I is the electric current
(c) For x number of resistors of resistance 132
Supply voltage, V=220V
Current, I=5A
Equivalent resistance of the combination =R, given as
1R=x×(1132)
R=132x
From Ohm's law :
132x=2205
132x=44
132=44x
x=13244
x=3
So, answer is 3 resistors.
