Which of the following instruments consumes the highest current?

I. Electric iron

II. Television set

III. Torch light

IV. Immersion heater

250v

220v

6v

110v

1kW

110W

30W

500W

2

A.

I

B.

II

C.

III

D.

IV

Correct answer is C

(I)  I = \(\frac{P}{V} = \frac{1000}{25}\) = 4A

(II) I = \(\frac{110}{220}\) = 0.5A

(III) I = \(\frac{30}{6}\) = 5A

(IV) I = \(\frac{500}{110}\) = 4.55A

In the figure, the value of R is 

A.

3\(\Omega\)

B.

6\(\Omega\)

C.

4\(\Omega\)

D.

5\(\Omega\)

Correct answer is B

R\(_T\) = \(\frac{V}{1} = \frac{12}{2}\) = 6\(\Omega\) 

R\(_T\) = 3 + \(\frac{R \times 6}{R + 6}\) 

R = 6\(\Omega\)

The fiqure above represents a block-and-tackle pulley system on which an effort of W Newtons supports a load of 120.0N. If the efficiency of the machine is 40\(^o\), then the value of W is 

A.

28.0N

B.

48.0N

C.

288.0N

D.

50.0N

Correct answer is D

V.E = 6, load = 120N 

Efficiency = M.A x \(\frac{1}{V.R}\) x 100%

40 = \(\frac{120}{effort}\) x \(\frac{1}{6}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\) 

Effort = 50N
