What is the nature of materials used to make the 'filament' of an electric bulb and the 'fuse wire' used in electric fuse ? Compare them.

Answer»

Solution :A filament used INA bulb must withstand the high temperature to emit light. The material used to make filament must have high resistance and high melting point. Usually tungsten is used to make a filament.
The fuse wire must get heated and melt whenever excess current PASSES through it. Hence, it must bemade of an alloy with high resistance and LOW melt-ing point. Usually an alloy of lead and tin is used for this PURPOSE.

Two electric bulbs of 100 W each is used for 10 hours in the month of June. Write the following steps in sequential order to find the numbe of units of electricity consumed in the month of June. (A) The number of units of electricity consumed by both bulbs in the month of June is the total elec-trical energy consumed by bulbs expressed in W h divided by 100 W h . (B) Note the rated power of each electric bulb, time of electrical consumption of each bulb per day from the given data. (C ) We know, one electrical unit = 1 kW h or 1000 W h. (D) Calculate the amount of electrical energy con-sumed by both the bulbs in the month of June using, (sum of the electrical power of both the bulb) xx (time of consumption in one day) xx 30 days.

Answer»

BACD
ABCD
BDCA
DCBA

Solution :The POWER of electric bulb, `P = 100 W`.
The TIME for which bulb utilieses electric power per day `= 10` h.
In the month of june, `t = 10 h xx 30` days `= 300 h`.
The electric energy consumed by a bulb is `= P xx t`
`= 100 xx 300= 32 xx 10^(4) W h`
`= 30 k Wh`
The total energy consumed by both the bulbs,
`E = 2 xx 20 kWh = 60 kW h`.
`:.` The number of electric units `= 60` units.
`(ne 1 "unit" = 1 kW h)`

Ratan saw a flash of lightning and after sometime heard the sound of thunder. If the time gap between seeing and hearing is 3 s, then write the following steps in sequence to find the height from the ground where the lightning is produced. (a) Consider the velocity of sound (v) as 330 ms^(-1). (b) Note the time gap (t) between seeing and hearing. (c) From the formula, speed = ("distance")/("time taken"), height at which lightning was produced = speed of sound xx time interval. (d) Substitute the values in the equation (1) and find the value of the height of the lightning from the ground.

Answer»

b a c d
b c a d
c b d a
d a b c

Solution :From the given data, time gap = 3 s.
We know, `v = 330 MS^(-1)`
Speed `= ("distance")/("time") to (c)`
Neglecting the time taken by the light to reach the GROUND because VELOCITY of light is very LARGE, that is, `C = 3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)`. On substituting the value, the height of the lightning from the ground is equal to `330 xx 3 = 990 m.`
