In a nuclear fusion experiment, the loss of mass amounts to 1.0 x 10-6kg. The amount of energy obtained from the fusion is

A.

3.0 x 10-4J

B.

3.0 x 10-1J

C.

9.0 x 104J

D.

9.0 x 1010J

Correct answer is D

Energy = mc2

= 1 x (3 x 108)2 x 106

= 9 x 1010J

The electrochemical equivalent of a metal is 1.3 x 10-7kgC-1. The mass of the metal which 2.0 x 104C of electricity will deposit from a suitable electrolyte is

A.

6.5 x 10-2kg

B.

2.6 x 10-2kg

C.

6.5 x 10-3kg

D.

2.6 x 10-3kg

Correct answer is D

m = QZ

= 2 x 104 x 1.3 x 10-7

= 2.6 x 10-3kg

Electricity is supplied to a school along a cable of total resistance 0.5Ω with the maximum current drawn from the mains as 100A. The maximum energy dissipated as heat for 1 hr is

A.

3.6 x 103J

B.

5.0 x 103J

C.

3.0 x 105J

D.

1.8 x 107J

Correct answer is D

Elect. energy = I2Rt

= 100 x 100 x 0.5 x 3600

= 1.8 x 107J
