EFFECT OF ELECTRIC CURRENT
1. Which of the following is the main effect of electric currents?
A. Chemical effect
B. Heat effect
C. Magnetic effect
D. Electric effect

See the Answer
The correct answer is D.

2. Find the power operating in a refrigerator when a current of 15A flows through the refrigerator at a resistance of 5Ω.
A. 1125AΩ.
B. 1125A/Ω.
C. 1125J.
D. 1125A.

See the Answer
The correct answer is A

Explanation:Power, P = I2R and the unit follows..


3. An electric bulb is rated 60W for a 240V supply. Find the resistance of the bulb and the current it consumes.
A. 960 ohms and 0.25A
B. 340 ohms and 0.35A
C. 0.25 ohms and 1.50A
D. 1.50 ohms and 960A

See the Answer
The correct answer is A

Explanation:Power w = 60W,
Voltage supplied V = 240V
Power = V 2/R,
60 = (240) 2/R
R = (240) 2/60
R = 960 and 0.25A
.


4. Water in an electric kettle connected to a 240V supply took 6mins to reach its boiling point. How long would it have taken if the supply had been one of 210V?
A. 5.25 mins
B. 4 mins
C. 3.75 mins
D. 2.90 mins

See the Answer
The correct answer is A

Explanation:240->360s, 210->360 x 210/240 = 630/2 = 315/60 = 5.25m.


5. A transformer which supplies 12V when connected to 240V mains takes 0.55A from the mains when used to light five 12V, 24W lamps in parallel, find its efficiency and the cost of using it for 12hr, at 60k per kWh.
A. 92.91%, 90.04k.
B. 91.91%, 95.04k.
C. 90.91%, 95.04k.
D. 90.91%, 95.10k.

See the Answer
The correct answer is C

Explanation:Use the equation Efficiency = [power output] x 100/ [power input],
Where power output = 5 x 24W = 120W and power input = IV = 0.55 x 240 = 132W.
Therefore, efficiency = [120 x 100]/132 = 90.91%. The cost of using it is power input x number of hours x cost = 132W = 132/1000 = 0.132kW x 12 x 60k = 95.04k.
