An electric generator rated 12 kW, 2 kV distribute power through a cable of resistance 20\(\Omega\). Calculate the power loss in the cable.

A.

120 w

B.

360 w

C.

720 w

D.

2400 w

Correct answer is C

Power - IV

I = \(\frac{P}{V}\)

= \(\frac{12000}{2000}\)

I = 6A

Power loss = I\(^2\)R = 6\(^2\) x 20

= 720 W

An object is placed 20cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. Calculate the linear magnification of the image formed

A.

0.5

B.

1.5

C.

2.0

D.

3.0

Correct answer is D

\(\frac{1}{U} + \frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{F}\)

\(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{F} - \frac{1}{U}\)

\(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{20}\)

\(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{\text{4 - 3}}{60}\)


\(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{60}\)

V = 60cm

M = \(\frac{V}{U} = \frac{60}{20}\)

M = 3.0cm
