Two lamps, one rated at 100 W at 220 V and the other at 200 W at 220 V, are connected in parallel to an electric supply of 220 V. Find the current drawn.

Answer :

Answer:

= 0.1 KWh

Step by step:

We have given two lamps in such a way :


Power of 1st lamp, P₁ = 40W , voltage of 1st lamp, V₁ = 220V


power of 2nd lamp , P₂ = 60W , voltage of 2nd lamp ,V₂ = 220V



we know, one things ,


Power = V²/R [ when potential difference is same then consider P = V²/R ]


R = V²/P


so, resistance of 1st lamp , R₁ = V₁²/P₁ = (220)²/60 = 4840/6 = 2420/3Ω


resistance of 2nd lamp , R₂ = V₂²/P₂ = (220)²/40 = 48400/40 = 1210Ω


Now, question said ,


(a) Both the lamps are in parallel ,


So, 1/Req = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂


1/Req = 3/2420 + 1/1210 = 5/2420 = 1/484


Req = 484Ω



Now, Current drawn from electrical supply ,i = potential difference/Req


= 220V/484 = 20/44 = 5/11 A



(b) energy consumed by lamps in one hour = Energy consumed by 1st lamps in one hour + energy consumed by 2nd lamps in one hour


= P₁ × 1hour + P₂ × 1 hour


=(P₁ + P₂) × 1 hour


= (60W + 40W) × 1 hour


= 100 Wh


= 100/1000 KWh [ ∵ 1 KWh = 10²Wh ]


= 0.1 KWh



plz give brainleast i hope this helped you have a good day

= 100/1000 KWh [ ∵ 1 KWh = 10²Wh ]

= 0.1 KWh
