State four most common electrical appliances based on heating effect of electric current. Why do we use finely heated platinum wire in surgery?
Compute the heat generated while transferring 96000 coulomb of charge in one hour through a potential difference of 50 V.
An electric heater is connected to the 230 V mains supply. A current of 8 A flows through the heater.
(a) How much charge flows around the circuit each second?
Explain why, the current that makes the heater element very hot, only slightly warms the connecting wires leading to the heater.
Derive the expression for the heat produced due to a current 'I' flowing for a time interval 't' through a resistor 'R' having a potential difference 'V' across its ends. With which name is this relation known?
The current passing through a room heater has been halved. What will happen to the heat produced by it?
Name the material which is used for making the filaments of an electric bulb.
The current passing through an electric kettle has been doubled. The heat produced will become:
(a) half
(b) double
(c) four time
(d) one-fourth
Which of the following characteristic is not suitable for a fuse wire?
(a) thin and short
(b) thick and short
(c) low melting point
(d) higher resistance than rest of wiring
How does the wire in the filament of a light bulb behave differently to the other wires in the circuit when the current flows?
What property of the filament wire accounts for this difference?
Statement 1 : Electric current ( flow of electrons ) creates heat in the resistor.
Statement 2 : Heat in the resistor is created according to the rule of energy conservation.
Explain Statement 1 with the help of Statement 2.
