State the S.I. unit of electrical power.


Name the physical quality which is measured in
(i) Kw (ii) kWh


 1Kwh =`( 1  "volt "xx 1 am pere xx.............)/1000`


A servo voltage stabiliser restricts the voltage output to 220 V ± 1%. If an electric bulb rated at 220 V, 100 W is connected to it, what will be the minimum and maximum power consumed by it?


The coil of an electric bulb takes 40 watts to start glowing. If more than 40 W are supplied, 60% of the extra power is converted into light and the remaining into heat. The bulb consumes 100 W at 220 V. Find the percentage drop in the light intensity at a point if the supply voltage changes from 220 V to 200 V.


What is the usual colour code followed for connecting live, neutral and earth wires?

Two bulbs are marked 60 W, 220 V and 60 W, 110 V respectively. Calculate the ratio of their resistance.

With reference to the diagram shown below calculate:

(i) The equivalent resistance between P and Q.
(ii) The reading of ammeter.
(iii) The electrical power between P and Q.


Two bulbs are rated: bulb A 100W, 120 V bulb B 10W, 120 V. If both are connected across a 120V supply, which bulb will consume more energy, When in series? Also calculate the current through each bulb in above cases.


An electrical appliance is rated 1500 W, 250 V. This appliance is connected to 250 V mains. Calculate:
(i) the current drawn,
(ii) the electrical energy consumed in 60 hours,
(iii) the cost of electrical energy consumed at Rs. 2.50 per kWh.
