Section-E
Case Based Questions:-
12. The electrical energy
consumed by an electrical
appliance is given by the product
of its power rating and the time
for which it is used. The SI unit of
electrical energy is Joule. Actually,
Joule represents a very small
quantity of energy and therefore it
is inconvenient to use where a
large quantity of energy is
involved. So for commercial
purposes we use a bigger unit of
electrical energy which is called
kilowatt hour. 1 kilowatt-hour is
equal to 3.6 x 106 joules of
electrical energy.
(i) The energy dissipated by the
heater is E. When the time of
operating the heater is doubled,
the energy dissipated is
(a)
(b) half
doubled
(c) remains (d) four
same times
(ii) The power of a lamp is 60 W
The energy consumed in 1 minute
is
(a) 360J (b) 36J
(c) 3600J (d) 3.6 J
(iii) The electrical refrigerator
rated 400 W operates 8 hours a
day. The cost of electrical energy
is ₹5 per kWh. Find the cost of
running the refrigerator for one
day?
(a) ₹32 (b) ₹16
(c) ₹8 (d) ₹4
(iv) Calculate the energy
transformed by a 5 A current
flowing through a resistor of
2 Ω for 30 minutes?
(a) 90 kJ (b) 80 kJ
(c) 60 kJ (d) 40 kJ
