All of the following frequencies are overtones of 320 Hz EXCEPT

A.

960Hz

B.

640Hz

C.

520Hz

D.

1280Hz

E.

1600Hz

Correct answer is C

Overtones are frequency which are multiples of fundamental frequency

Fundamental frequency - f1 = 320Hz

Overtones 320 x 2 = 640Hz

320 x 3 = 960HZ

320 x 4 = 1280Hz

320 X 5 = 1600hZ

The resistance of a 240V, 60 watt electric filament bulb is

A.

0.25\(\Omega\)

B.

480\(\Omega\)

C.

60\(\Omega\)

D.

240\(\Omega\)

E.

960\(\Omega\)

Correct answer is E

power = IV

power = \(\frac{V^2}{R}\) = 60

= \(\frac{240^2}{R}\)

= 960\(\Omega\)
