A 60 W bulb is used for 5 hours daily. How much electrical energy is consumed by the bulb in 30 days? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 60 W bulb is used for 5 hours daily. How much electrical energy is consumed by the bulb in 30 days?
A. 0.9 kWh
B. 900 kWh
C. 90 kWh
D. 9 kWh
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Electrical energy (E) = Power (P) × Time (t). Power = 60 W = 0.06 kW. Time per day = 5 hours. Total time in 30 days = 5 × 30 = 150 hours. Energy = 0.06 kW × 150 h = 9 kWh (or 9 units of electricity). One kWh is the commercial unit of energy.

Question #1 Report Error
If three resistors of 2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 6 Ω are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the combination is:
A. 11 Ω
B. 0.5 Ω
C. 2 Ω
D. 1 Ω

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For resistors in parallel, the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance (1/Rp) is the sum of the reciprocals of individual resistances. 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6. Finding a common denominator (6): 1/Rp = 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1. Therefore, Rp = 1 Ω.

Assertion (A): In a free fall, a heavy object falls faster than a light object. Reason (R): Acceleration due to gravity is same for all objects.
A. A is true, R is false
B. Both A and R true, R is correct explanation
C. A is false, R is true
D. Both A and R true, R not correct explanation

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In vacuum, all objects fall at same rate. A is false. R is true. So C correct.

The time period of a simple pendulum depends on
A. Amplitude of swing
B. Length of pendulum and g
C. Nature of bob material
D. Mass of bob

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
T = 2π√(L/g). For small amplitudes, period independent of amplitude and mass. Depends only on effective length and acceleration due to gravity. Used in pendulum clocks.
