A toaster of 4 kW is running in an existing circuit 110 volt that has a stream ranking of 4 A. Find the stream of electrons drawn by the toaster.
36.36 A
23.34 A
14.6 A
9.06 A
(1)
The stream of electrons drawn by the toaster is 36.36 A.
We know that,
The most important safety method used for protecting home appliance from short circuiting on overloading is:
earthing
use of fuse
use of stabilizers
use of fuse electric meter
(2)
Use of fuse is most important safety method protecting home appliances from overloading and short circuiting.
If it takes 520 turns to make a solenoid that is 40 cm long with a radius of 1.2 m that carries a current of 6 A, then determine the magnetic field inside the solenoid
(2)
Given,
I=6 A, L=40 cm=0.4 m, r=1.2 m, N=520
We know that,
On substituting the values in above formula:
The magnetic field inside the solenoid is
A 3 pin mains plug is fitted to the cable for a 1 kW electric kettle to be used on a 250 V a.c. supply which of the following statements is not correct?
The fuse should be fitted in the live wire.
A 13 A fuse is the most appropriate value to use.
The neutral wire is coloured black.
The green wire should be connected to the earth pin.
(2)
Because current drawn is 4 A, a fuse of 13 A cannot be considered the most appropriate.
The strength of an electromagnet after the limit cannot be increased by increasing the current through the solenoid. What is the reason behind this phenomenon?
Electrons start to corrode the solenoid.
Voltage through the solenoid gradually starts to decrease.
Resistance of the solenoid increases.
Current flowing through the solenoid is saturated.
(4)
The strength of an electromagnet after the limit cannot be increased by increasing the current through the solenoid because current flowing through the solenoid is saturated.
Two wires are placed in parallel; repulsion force and current in these two wires are respectively. What will be a force if the current is doubled in each wire?
2F
F/2
2F/4
4F
(4)
If the current is doubled in each wire the force will be 4F. This can be explained as follows:
We know that the force of repulsion per unit length between two wires carrying current in opposite direction is:
Thus, when both are doubled, the force between them becomes four times.
are heats produced by two copper wires having the same length and different diameters when they are connected in series and parallel respectively. From the above, we infer what of the following?
(1)
When wires are connected in series,
In parallel,
Then
The strength of magnetic field inside a long current carrying straight solenoid is:
more at the ends than at the centre.
minimum in the middle.
uniform at all points.
found to increase from one end to the other.
(3)
Inside the solenoid, magnetic field lines are straight. This indicates strong magnetic field. Hence, magnetic field is uniform at all points inside the solenoid.
Pick out the incorrect statement about magnetic lines of force.
Magnetic lines of force start from the North Pole and end on the South Pole.
No two magnetic lines of force can intersect each other.
Magnetic lines of force are far away from each other at the poles.
Magnetic lines of force are closed continuous curves.
(3)
Magnetic lines of forces are closed continuous curves. They are nearer to each other at the point where magnetic field is strongest and far from each other where magnetic field is weak. At poles, magnetic lines of forces are nearest to each other because magnetic field is strongest at the pole.
No two magnetic lines of forces intersect with each other. At the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards two directions, which is not possible.
They are continuous, forming closed loops without beginning or end, which start from the north pole and end at the south pole. Hence, statement (c), i.e., Magnetic lines of force are far away from each other at the poles is the incorrect statement.
Strength of the magnetic field at a point in the space surrounding the magnet is measured by:
thickness of the magnet.
number of lines crossing a given point.
resistance of it.
length of the magnet.
(2)
The strength of the magnetic field at a point in the space surrounding the magnet is measured by number of lines crossing a given point.
