The voltage of the domestic electric supply is represented by the equation V = 311 sin314.2t. Determine the frequency of the a.c. supply [\(\pi\) = 3.142]

A.

50.0Hz

B.

100.0Hz

C.

311.0Hz

D.

314.2Hz

Correct answer is A

V = 311 sin314.2t compare with,

V = V sin2\(\pi\)Ft

2\(\mu\)F = 314.2

F = \(\frac{314.2}{2 \times\ 3.142}\)

F = 50Hz

The power dissipated in an a.c. circuit with an r.m.s, current of 5A, r.m.s voltage of 10V and a phase angle of 60o is

A.

25W

B.

50W

C.

120W

D.

125W

Correct answer is A

P = IVcos\(\theta\)

= 5 x 10 x cos60

= 25W

What is the total electrical energy consumed by using an electric cooker rated 1000W for 5 hrs?

A.

5.3 x 103J

B.

6.5 X 103J

C.

1.8 X 107J

D.

2.3 X 107J

Correct answer is C

Energy = power x time

= 1000 x 5 x 3600

= 1.8 X 107J
