A household refrigerator is rated 200 watts. If electricity costs 5k per kWh, what is the cost of operating it in 20 days?

A.

N4.80

B.

N48.00

C.

N480.00

D.

N4800.00

Correct answer is A

Energy(kWhr) = 200 x 10-3 x 20 x 24

= 96kwhr

1 kwhr cost 5 kobo ; 96 kwhr will cost

5 x 96 = 480 kobo

= N4.80

When a resistance R is across a cell, the voltage across the terminals of the cell is reduced to two-third of its normal value. The internal resistance of the cell is

A.

\(\frac{2}{1}\)R

B.

\(\frac{1}{2}\)R

C.

\(\frac{3}{2}\)R

D.

5R

Correct answer is B

IR = \(\frac{2}{3}\) I(R + r)

r = \(\frac{1}{2}\)R
