Three heaters each rated 250 W, 100 V are connected in parallel to a 100 V supply. Calculate:
- the total current taken from the supply
- the resistance of each heater and
- the energy supplied in kWh to the three heaters in 5 hours.

उत्तर
Given,
Power, p = 250 w
Voltage, v = 100 v
- Current through each heater, I = ?
As p = VI
I = `"P"/"V"`
= `250/100`
= 2.5 A
∴ Current taken for the three heaters = 3 × 2.5
= 7.5 A - resistance for each heater, R = `"V"/"I"`
= `100/2.5`
= 40 Ω - Time for which energy is supplied, t = 5h
As, Energy, E = p × t
For each heater E = 250 × 5
= 1250 wh or E = 1.25 kwh
Energy for three heaters = 3 × 1.25
= 3.75 kwh

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.
