A 1000 W heater is used for 2 hours. Energy consumed in kWh is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 1000 W heater is used for 2 hours. Energy consumed in kWh is
A. 2000 kWh
B. 1000 kWh
C. 2 kWh
D. 0.5 kWh
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Power = 1 kW (1000 W). Time = 2 h. Energy = Power × time = 1 × 2 = 2 kWh. 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J, but here answer in kWh. Commercial unit.

Question #3 Report Error
Two bodies A and B start from the same point with velocities 10 m/s and 15 m/s respectively in the same direction. If B starts 2 seconds after A, the time after which B catches A is:
A. 4 s
B. 8 s
C. 6 s
D. 10 s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
When B starts, A has already traveled 10 m/s × 2 s = 20 m. Relative velocity of B w.r.t A = 15 - 10 = 5 m/s. Time to cover 20 m gap at 5 m/s relative speed = 20/5 = 4 s after B starts. Since B started 2 s late, total time from A's start = 2 + 4 = 6 s. Alternatively, equate distances: 10t = 15(t-2) ⇒ 10t = 15t - 30 ⇒ t = 6 s. This relative motion approach simplifies pursuit problems. Memory tip: In same-direction motion, use relative velocity = |v₁ - v₂|. Frequently tested in kinematics sections of competitive exams.
