Fig. shows a 3 pin plug with the cover removed. The electric cable
connected to the plug contains 3 wires with colour coded insulation namely brown, blue and green.

- Identify each of the colour coded wires by stating to which of the
terminals A, B or C in the diagram they should be connected. - Identify the terminal through which no current passes in normal
circumstances. - What is the purpose of the earthed wire connected to an electric
appliance like an electric heater? Describe how it works.
In a house there are 6 bulbs of 100 W each used for 4 hours a day, 4 bulbs of 60 W each used for 8 hours a day, an immersion heater of 2.5 kW used for 1 hour per day, and an electric iron of 800 W used for 2 hours per day. Calculate the cost of monthly electric bill for the month of April at the rate of 80 p per unit.
