प्रश्न
An electric iron is connected to the mains power supply of 220 V. When the electric iron is adjusted at 'minimum heating' it consumes a power of 360 W but at 'maximum heating' it takes a power of 840 W. Calculate the current and resistance in each case.

उत्तर
In the case of minimum heating:
P = 360 W
V = 220 V
where the symbols used have their usual meanings.
We know that P = VI
`I=p/V`
`I=360/220=1.64 A`
Resistance,`R V/I`
`R=220/1.64=134.15`Ω
In the case of maximum heating:
P = 840 W
V = 220 V
where the symbols used have their usual meanings.
We know that P = VI
`I=P/V`
`I=840/220=3.82A`
further,`R=V/I`
`R=220/3.82=57.60`Ω

In a set up the students coated iron nails with zinc metal and noted that, iron nails coated with zinc prevents rusting. They also observed that zinc initially acts as a physical barrier, but an extra advantage of using zinc is that it continues to prevent rusting even if the layer of zinc is damaged. Name this process of rust prevention and give any two other methods to prevent rusting.
