An electrical appliance is rated 1500 W, 220 V. What is the current drawn by it? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

An electrical appliance is rated 1500 W, 220 V. What is the current drawn by it?
A. 6.8 A
B. 10 A
C. 4.5 A
D. 15 A
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The power formula is P = VI, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current. Rearranging for current gives I = P / V. Given P = 1500 W and V = 220 V, the current I = 1500 / 220 ≈ 6.818 Amperes. Thus, 6.8 A is the closest correct answer.

In a photoelectric effect experiment, a graph is plotted between the stopping potential (V0) on the y-axis and the frequency of incident light (v) on the x-axis. The slope of this straight line gives the value of:
A. Work function of the metal
B. Planck's constant divided by electron charge (h/e)
C. Speed of light (c)
D. Planck's constant (h)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Einstein's photoelectric equation is K_max = hv - W. Since K_max = eV0 (where V0 is stopping potential), eV0 = hv - W. Rearranging for the y-axis variable gives V0 = (h/e)v - (W/e). This is a linear equation y = mx + c. The slope 'm' of the V0 vs v graph is strictly exactly h/e.
