an electric cell with nominal voltage E has a resistance of 3Ω connected across it. If the voltage falls to 0.6E, the internal resistance of the cell is

A.

B.

C.

D.

Correct answer is B

p>IR = 0.6 X I ( R + r )

I X 3 = 0.6 X I ( 3 + r )

3I / 0.6I = 3 + r

5 = 3 + r

r = 2 ohms

An electric iron is rated 1000W, 230V. What is the resistance of its elements?

A.

51.9Ω

B.

52.9Ω

C.

55.9Ω

D.

57.6Ω

Correct answer is B

Electric Power = IV = I2R = V2/R thus for a device rated 1000 W, 230V, from the relation P = V2/R, 1000 = (230)2/R
=> R = (230)2/1000
= 52900/1000 = 52.9Ω
