If NEPA charges 5k per kWhr, what is the cost of operating for 24 hours a lamp requiring 1A on a 200V line?

A.

24k

B.

55k

C.

40k

D.

26k

E.

32k

Correct answer is A

Energy (kWhr) = 1 x 200 x 24 x 10-3

= 4.8kWhr

1 kWhr. cost 5k

4.8kwhr. will cost (5 x 4.8)k

= 24 kobo

Three 5 ohms resistors connected in parallel have a potential difference of 60v. applied across the combination. The current in each resistor is

A.

4A

B.

36A

C.

12A

D.

24A

E.

10A

Correct answer is C

since they are in parallel, the same voltage across

= I1 = I2 = I3

I1 = \(\frac{V}{R_1}\)

\(\frac{60}{5}\) = 12A

B.

greater than R2

C.

the sum of R1 and R2

D.

the difference of R2 and R1

E.

greater thanR1 but less than R2

Correct answer is A

i. Ns
ii. Mm
iii. Nm-2
iv. JKg-1

What is the unit of latent heat?

A.

i

B.

ii

C.

iii

D.

iv

Correct answer is D

L = specific latent heat of a substance

 

L = \(\frac{Q}{M}\)

i.e unit is JKg-1
