How can energy loss be minimized through Eddy-current?
By using high resistance wire
By using insulated soft iron wires
By using low resistance wires
By using turns of wires
Correct answer is A
Eddy currents are produced by the varying flux cathode, the iron core of an equipment thus reducing efficiency due to power consumption. It can be reduced by laminating the core by breaking up the path of eddy current or by increasing the resistance of the core
Usage of insulated soft iron wire is to reduce hysteresis loss
Usage of low resistance wire (thick wire) is to reduce I2R loss
Usage of thick wire is to reduce leakage heat loss due to leakage of magnetic flux
Thus the correct answer is to use high resistance wire or thin wire
0.04m
0.12m
0.01m
0.08m
Correct answer is D
From Hoke's Law, F = ke, K = Constant of Force
For he first case, Force = mg,
= 0.8 × 10 = 8N
∴ 8 = k × 0.04
k = \(\frac{8}{0.04}\)
= \(\frac{200N}{m}\)
Since K is constant
For the second case, F = ke
F = 200 × e
∴ e = \(\frac{F}{200}\)
= \(\frac{16}{200}\)
= 0.08m
Determine the focal length of a thin converging lens if the power is 5.0 dioptres
0.1 m
0.2 m
2.0 m
2.5 m
Correct answer is B
Power of a lens = \(\frac{1}{f}\)
f = focal length
f = \(\frac{1}{p}\)
= \(\frac{1}{5}\)
= 0.2m
2.20 × 10\(^3\)m
5.0 × 10\(^2\)m
5.0 × 10\(^5\)m
11.8 × 10\(^{11}\)m
Correct answer is B
V = fλ
λ = \(\frac{v}{f}\)
= \(\frac{3 \times 10^8}{600 \times 10^3}\) = 500m
= 5 × 102m
N.B 600KHz Frequency = 600 × 103Hz
100w
200w
400w
500w
Correct answer is D
Power is the time rate of doing work
i.e power = \(\frac{\text{energy}}{\text{time}}\)
Since energy = mgH
∴ power = \(\frac{mgH}{t}\)
= \(\frac{50 \times 10 \times 5}{t}\)
= 500W
