Example 1. The potential difference between the terminals of an electric heater is 75 V when it draws a current of 5 A from the source. What current will the heater draw, if the potential difference is increased to 150 V ? Example 2. A wire of given material having length /and area of cross-section A has a resistance of 10 Q. What would be the resistance of another wire of the same material having length //4 and area of cross-section 2. 5A? Example 3. Resistance of a metal wire of length 2 m is 30 Q at temperature 25°C. If the diameter of the wire is 0.6 mm, then what will be the resistivity of the metal at that temperature? Example 4. Three resistors of 5 Q, 10 Q and 15 Q are connected in series with a12 V power supply. Calculate their combined resistance, the current that flows in the circuit and in each resistor and the potential difference across each resistor. Example 5. Study the following electric circuit. Find the readings of (i) the ammeter and (ii) the voltmeter. to- 4Q O B 22 Example 6. Two 40 Q resistors and a 20 @ resistor are all connected in parallel with a12 V power supply. Calculate their effective resistance and the current through each resistor. What is the current flowing through the supply? Example 7. In the given figure, R; =5 Q,R, = 10 Q,R; = 15 Q, Ry =202,R; =25Q anda 15 V battery is connected to the arrangement. Calculate (i) the total resistance in the circuit, and (ii) the total current flowing in the circuit. Example 9. An electric iron consumes energy at a rate of 880 W, when heating is at the maximum rate and 340 W, when the heating is at the minimum, the voltage is 220 V. What are the current and the resistance in each case? Example 10. An electric heater of resistance 500 Q is connected to a mains supply for 30 min. If 15 A current flows through the filament of the heater, then calculate the heat energy produced in the heater.
