Let us Assess


Qn 1.

Fuse wire is to be used by understanding the amperage correctly. Write down the amperage of the fuse wires that are currently available in the market.

  • Answer)

    If fuse wires of appropriate amperage are not used, excess current will flow through the circuit and it causes damage to the appliances and may result in danger.

    Some of the widely used for domestic purpose fuse wires of different amperage are 1 A, 1.25 A, 1.5 A, 2.2 A, 3 A, 5 A, 10 A etc

Qn 2.

0.5 A current flows through an electric heating device connected to a 230 V supply.

  1. the quantity of charge that flows through the circuit in 5 minutes is                               i. 5 C ii. 15 C iii. 150 C iv. 1500 C
  2. How much is the resistance of the circuit?
  3. Calculate the quantity of heat generated when current flows in the circuit for 5 minutes.
  4. How much is the power of the heating device connected to the circuit if we ignore the resistance of the circuit wire? 
  • Answer)

    I = 0.5 A, t = 5 Minutes = 5 x 300s

    a)

    Therefore Q = I x t

                         = 0.5 x 300

                         = 150 C

    b) V = 230 V , I = 0.5A

        

           

           = 

    c) I = 0.5 A

       R = ,

       t = 5 minute = 5 x 60s

       H = I2

       Rt = (0.5)2 x 460 x 300

         = 34500 J

    d) H = 34500 J,

          t = 300 s

          

          

         = 115 W

Qn 3.

According to Joule’s Law, the heat generated due to the flow of current is H = IRt. Will the heat developed increase on increasing the resistance without changing the voltage? Explain.

  • Answer)

    Heat developed will not increase while voltage is constant, if resistance is increased, current decreases 

    Device I

    Device II

    Voltage = 250 V

    Resistance = 

    Time = 10 s

    H = I2Rt = 102 x 25 x 10

       = 25000 J

    Voltage = 250 V

    Resistance = 

    Time = 10 s

    H = I2Rt = 52 x 50 x 10

    = 12500 J

     

     


Qn 4.

The table shows details of an electric heating device designed to work in 230 V. Complete the table by calculating the change in the heat and power on changing the voltage and resistance of the device. Analyze the table and answer the following questions.

  1. How does the voltage under which a device works affect its functioning?
  2. What change happens to power on increasing the resistance without changing the voltage?
  3. What change is to be brought about in the construction of household heating devices in order to increase their power?
  • Answer)

    a) If voltage is increased without any change in resistance, power increases.

    b) Resistance increases, current decreases, power also decreases

    c) Decrease the resistance of the device and increase current. English Medium Tu
