If it takes 5.0 hrs to drain a container of 540.0cm3 of water, what is the flow rate of water from the container in kg-1? [Density of water = 1000kgm-3]

A.

32.5kg-1 s

B.

31.5kg-1

C.

30.8kg-1 s

D.

30.0kg-1 s

Correct answer is D

Flow = rate = \(\frac{mass}{time}\)

= \(\frac{1000 \times 540}{5 \times 3600}\)

= 30.0kg-1 s

The primary winding of a transformer has 400 turns and its secondary has 100 turns. If a source of e.m.f. of 12V is applied to the primary, the secondary e.m.f. will be

A.

3V

B.

6V

C.

24V

D.

48V

Correct answer is A

\(\frac{V_s}{V_p}\) = \(\frac{N_s}{N_p}\) = \(\frac{I_p}{I_s}\)

\(\frac{100}{400}\) = \(\frac{V_S}{12}\)

V = 3V

If the maximum voltage across a 100ohms resistor is 20V, then the maximum power it can dissipate is

A.

5.00W

B.

4.00W

C.

2.00W

D.

25W

Correct answer is B

P = \(\frac{V^2}{R}\)

= \(\frac{20 \times 20}{100}\)

= 4W
