How many $60 \,W$ bulbs may be safely run on $220 \,V$ using a $5 \,A$ fuse is .........
$18$
$16$
$14$
$12$
Two identical heater filaments are connected first in parallel and then in series. At the same applied voltage, the ratio of heat produced in same time for parallel to series will be:
A wire when connected to $220\,V$ mains supply has power dissipation ${P_1}$. Now the wire is cut into two equal pieces which are connected in parallel to the same supply. Power dissipation in this case is ${P_2}$. Then ${P_2}:{P_1}$ is
$n$ identical bulbs, each designed to draw a power $p$ from a certain voltage supply, are joined in series across that supply. The total power which they will draw is
One $kg$ of water, at $20\,^oC$, is heated in an electric kettle whose heating element has a mean (temperature averaged) resistance of $20\, \Omega $. The rms voltage in the mains is $200\, V$. Ignoring heat loss from the kettle, time taken for water to evaporate fully, is close to.......... $\min$ [Specific heat of water $= 4200\, J/kg\, ^oC$), Latent heat of water $= 2260\, k\,J/kg$]
Two bulbs consume same power when operated at $200\, V$ and $300\, V$ respectively. When these bulbs are connected in series across a $D.C$. source of $500\, V$, then
