Answer the  following questions:

a) What is ment by one kilowatt hour in electricity?
Ans: The electricity consumed by electric load of load of one kilowatt power in one hour is known as one kilowatt hour in electricity.

Ans: The amount of electricity which id converted to the other forms of energy  by using load is known as electricity consumption.

e) How is electricity consumption calcutated?
Ans: To claculate the electricity consumption the product of the number of load, power, and time is calculated:
Electricity consumption= P×N×T

i. AC generator
ii. DC generator, etc.

Give reasons:

a) The efficiency of a transformer is never 100%, why?
Ans: There is resistance in the coil of a transformer, so the efficiency of a transformer is never 100%.

b) Soft iron armature is used in electric bell, why?
Ans: The more the metal is soft the strength of magnet formed is more. So, soft iron armature is used in electric bell.

c) Filament lamp is filled with inert gases. Why?
Ans: In high temperature i.e. around 2900°C tungsten filament can get oxidised due to reaction with oxygen. So, to prevent oxidation and maintain the pressure, innert gas is filled in filament lamp.

d) Why is Nichrome used in heater?
Ans: Nichrome has high resistance and does not get oxidised even in high temperature like 900°C and can easily converts electric energy into heat energy. So, nichromee is used in heater.

e) Why should the coil of transformer be laminated?
Ans: When curent flows through the coil of transformer, eddy current is produced in the core. If the coil of transformer becomes a single piece, the amount of eddy current increases and the transformer gets heated and damaged. Output is also low. So, the  coil of transformer is laminated.

Differentiate between:

Numerical problems:

i. Power consumption (pc): Power (P) × Hour(H)
=Watt × Hours
= KWH
=Unit

ii. Watt = Volt × Amper
Power = Volt (V) × current (Amper)
According to ohm’s law:
V = IR
PD = Current × Resistance
Volt     Amper      ohm (Ω)

a) An electric kettle rated 220 V and 2.2 KW works for 3 hours. Find the energy consumption and current drawn by it.
Given data,
PD = 220 volt
Power= 2.2 kw
Time = 3 hours
We know that,

Power consumption= power × hour
= 2.2kw × 3 hour
=6.6 KWH
= 6.6 Unit

Again, current drawn (I)= ?
P=VI
∴ I = P/V = 2.2 × 100W/ 220 = 2200/220
=10 AMP

∴The energy consumption is 6.6 unit and current drawn by it is 10 AMP.

b) If a 1000W heater is to be operated at a 220V mains, what must be the rating of the force to be used in the circuit?
Given data,
P = 1000 W
PD= 220V
Fuse (I)= ?
We know that,
P =VI
∴I = P/V= 1000/220
=50/11 = 4.5 = 5AMP

∴So the 5AMP is the rating of the force to be used in the circuit.

c) If two irons of 750W each are used 8hours a month. How much tariff should be paid? Cost of one unit of electricity is Rs 7.
Given data,
P= 750W
T=2 month
N= 8 hours
We know that,
Power consumption= 750 × 8 × 2
= 2 × 750 × 8/ 1000
= 12 KHW
=2 unit

∴ The cost of 1 unit= Rs. 7.00
∴The cost of 12 unit = 12×7 = Rs. 84.00

d) What type of combination of cells is shown in the given circuit? Calculate the power of the bulb if 0.2Acurrent flows through the curcuit.

Given data,
Amp= 0.2
Volt = 6
We know that,
Watt= Volt × Amp
= 6×0.2
=1.2 watt

e) In a transformer, the number of turns in primary coil is 100. If the primary and secondary voltage are 220V and 110V respecctively, calculate the no of turns in the secondary coil.
Given data,
Np= 100
Vp= 220 volt
Vs= 110 volt
Ns=?
we know that,

Numerical Problems

a) Find the power of a lens of focal length 10 cm.
Given data,
f= 10 cm
= 10/100 cm
we know that,
p=1/f(m)
=1/10/100
= 100/10
= 10 D
∴ Power of focal length is 10 D.
b) What is the focal length of a lens having the power 5D?
Given data,
p= 5D
f=?
we know that,
p=1/f(m)
f(m)= 1/p = 1/5 -= 0.2 m.
∴ The focal length of a lens is 0.2m.
c) An object is placed at a distance of 60cm in front of a convex lens of a focal length 20cm. where is the image formed? Mention magnification of the image and power of the lens.
Given data,
u=60cm
f=20cm
v=?
m=?
p=?
we know that,
1/f = 1/u + 1/v
1/20 = 1/60 + 1/v
1/20 + 1/60 = 1/v
3+1/60 = 1/v
or, 1/v= 4/60 =1/15
∴v= 15 cm
Now,
Magnification (m)= Image distance(v) / Object distance(u)
=15/60
=1/4
=0.25
Again, p=1/f(m)
=1/20
=1/20/100
=100/20
=5D
∴The magnification of the image is o.25 and power lens is 5D.
d) An object is placed at the distance of 40 cm from the concave lens of focal length 20cm. Find the image distance.
Given data,
u= -40
f= -20cm
we know that,
1/f= 1/u+1/v
1/-20= 1/-40 = 1/v
1-1/40= 1/v
-1/40= 1/v
-v=40
∴v= -40
∴The image distance is -40cm.
e) A student wears spectacles of power -2d. What types of defect of the eye does the student have? Find the focal length of the lens used?
Given data,
p=-2D
f=?
we know that,
p= 1/f(m)
or, -2= 1/f(m)
or, f(m)= 1/-2
∴f(m)= -50cm

∴The focal length of the lens used is -50cm.
