Why does the connecting cord of an electric heater not glow hot while the heating element does?
An electric iron of resistance 20 ohms draws a current of 5 amperes. Calculate the heat produced in 30 seconds.
Give Scientific reason
In the electric equipment producing heat e.g. iron, electric heater, boiler, toaster etc, an alloy such as Nichrome is used, not pure metals.
Write scientific reason.
A coil made up of alloy Nichrome is used in the electric heater cooker as a resistor.
When does overloading occur?
How can overloading be avoided?
Name any two appliances which work under the principle of heating effect of current.
An electric bulb is connected to a 220 V generator. The current is 0.50 A. What is the power of the bulb?
B1, B2 and B3 are three identical bulbs connected as shown in Figure. When all the three bulbs glow, a current of 3A is recorded by the ammeter A.
- What happens to the glow of the other two bulbs when the bulb B1 gets fused?
- What happens to the reading of A1, A2, A3 and A when the bulb B2 gets fused?
- How much power is dissipated in the circuit when all the three bulbs glow together?
Paheli took a wire of length 10 cm. Boojho took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness. Both of them connected the wires as shown in the circuit given in the following figure. The current flowing in both the circuits is the same.
- Will the heat produced in both cases be equal? Explain.
- Will the heat produced be the same if the wires taken by them are of equal lengths but of different thickness? Explain.
