An electric bulb rated 220 V, 100 W is operated at 110 V. The power consumed is
A. 12.5 W
B. 25 W
C. 100 W
D. 50 W
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Resistance R = V²/P = 220²/100 = 484 Ω. At 110 V, P = V²/R = 110²/484 = 12100/484 = 25 W. Assuming resistance constant. Power reduces to quarter when voltage halved (P ∝ V² for fixed R).
Explanation:
When the coin is tossed, it moves forward with the initial velocity of the train due to inertia of motion. If the train accelerates during the time the coin is in the air, the train moves faster and travels a greater distance horizontally than the coin. Thus, the coin falls behind the passenger.
Explanation:
Candela (cd) is one of the seven SI base units, measures luminous intensity. Lumen is luminous flux (lm = cd·sr). Lux is illuminance (lx = lm/m²). Watt is power.
Torricelli's Law states that the velocity of efflux of a fluid through a sharp-edged hole at the bottom of a tank filled to a depth 'h' is identical to:
A.The critical velocity for turbulent flow.
B.The terminal velocity of the fluid.
C.The velocity of a sound wave in that fluid.
D.The velocity acquired by a freely falling body dropped from height 'h'.
Explanation:
Torricelli's Law is a direct application of Bernoulli's principle. It proves mathematically that the velocity of fluid exiting a small hole (efflux velocity v) is v = sqrt(2gh). This is exactly the same velocity a solid body would acquire if it fell freely under gravity from rest over the same vertical height 'h'.
