- A 100 V battery is connected across a resistor and causes a current of 5 mA to flow. Determine the resistance of the resistor. If the voltage is reduced to 25 V, what will be the new value of the current flowing?
Answers:
- Quantity of electricity Q =1200
- Force = 10 N
- (a) Power = 48 W, (b) assuming V & I remain constant, the energy consumed in 1 hour, W = 48 (60×60) = 172.8 x 103 J = 172.8 KJ, (c) hint 1 Ah = = 3600 C, [ energy = VIt) but It = Q, therefore, charge Q = = J = 0.417 x 106 C, thus the auto-battery capacity is , without completely discharging the battery, the headlight system can be operated for = 29
- (a) Work done = 98.1 KJ or 98.1 kNm, (b) Power = 4905 W or 4.905 KW
- Conductance (G) = 0.01 s
- Energy = VIt = 10 x 3 x (10 x 60) = 18000w or 18 KJ
- Power rating of the heater = 1 kW, current taken from the supply is 4 A
- Quantity of electricity Q = 2400 C
- Resistance (R) = 250 𝝮
- Resistance R = 20 k𝝮, current when the voltage is reduced to 25 V = 1.25 mA
