Two bulbs 500 W and 300 W are manufactured to operate on 220 V line. The ratio of resistance of 500 W bulb to 300 W bulb is

Two bulbs 500 W and 300 W are manufactured to operate on 220 V line. The ratio of resistance of 500 W bulb to 300 W bulb is:

  1. 4:3
  2. 6:25
  3. 3:5
  4. 18:9

Correct answer: 3. 3:5

Solution:

From formula R = V²/P

Bulb1 R = 96.8 ohms

Bulb2 R = 161.33 ohms

———————

Bulb 1 R/Bulb 2 = 0.6 = 3:5

Two coils connected in parallel across 200 V supply take 10 A from line. The power dissipated in first coil is 1000 W. The resistance of second coil is:

Two coils connected in parallel across 200 V supply take 10 A from line. The power dissipated in first coil is 1000 W. The resistance of second coil is:

  1. 10 Ω
  2. 20 Ω
  3. 30 Ω
  4. 40 Ω

Correct answer: 4. 40 Ω

Solution:

From statement P = VI, current across 1st coil

I(coil 1) = P/V = 1000/200 = 5 A

——————

From KCL, current across coil 2

I(coil 2) = Incoming current – I(coil 1) = 10 A – 5 A = 5 A

——————

From Ohm’s law

R(coil 2) = V/I(coil 2) = 200/5 = 40 Ω

An electric motor operating at 120 V DC draws current of 12 A. The resistance of winding winding of motor if its efficiency is 30% is

An electric motor operating at 120 V DC draws current of 12 A. The resistance of winding winding of motor if its efficiency is 30% is:

  1. 3 Ω
  2. 5 Ω
  3. 7 Ω
  4. 12 Ω

Correct answer: 3. 7 Ω

Solution:

Input power = 120 * 12 = 1440 W

—————–

Power loss = 0.7 * 1440 W = 1008 W

—————–

P = I²R or R = P/I² = 1008/12² = 7 Ω

The power dissipated in a 1 kΩ resistor having voltage drop of 12 is

The power dissipated in a 1 kΩ resistor having voltage drop of 12 is:

  1. 0.05 W
  2. 0.144 W
  3. 0.5 W
  4. 1.2 W

Correct answer: 2. 0.144 W

Solution:

From formula P = V²/R = 12 V²/1 kΩ = 0.144 W
