An electric iron is connected to the mains power supply of 220V. When the electric iron is adjusted at ‘minimum heating’ it consumes a power of 360W but at ‘maximum heating’ it takes a power of 840W. Calculate the current and resistance in each case.

Given, V = 220V Pmin = 360W Pmax = 840 W When the heating is minimum, Pmin = VI 360 = I220 I = 1.63amp R = V/I R = 200/1.63 R = 134.96 ohms When the heating is maximum, Pmax = VI 840 = 220I I = 3.81amp R = V/I R = 220/3.81 R = 57.74 ohms

Two exactly similar heating resistances are connected in series and in parallel in two different circuits one by one. If the same current is passed through both the combinations, is more heat obtained per minute when they are connected in series or when they are connected in parallel? Give reason for your answer.

When the heating resistances are connected in series more heat is obtained per minute. This is because the total resistance in series combination is more when compared to the total resistance in parallel combination.

How does the wire in the filament of a light bulb behave differently to the other wires in the circuit when the current flows? b) What property of the filament wire accounts for this difference?

The behavior of the wire in the filament of a light bulb is different from the other wires of the circuit as the wire used in the filament becomes white hot while the other wires do not heat much. The high resistance of the filament wire is responsible for the difference seen between the filament wire and the other wires of the circuit.

When an electric charge Q moves against the potential difference V then the amount of work done is given as: W = Q × V (1) We know, current I = Q/T Q = IT (2) By Ohm’s law, V/I = R V = IR (3) Substituting the equation (2) and (3) in (1), we get W = I2RT Assumption: The electrical work done is converted into heat energy Therefore, heat produced is H = I2RT The above equation is known as Joule’s law of heating Given, P = 12W V = 12V T = 60s We know that, P =VI I = P/V = 12/12 = 1amp V = IR R = V/I = 12/1 = 12 ohm H = I2RT H = 720J Since the heat produced is directly proportional to the square of the current, the heat produced by the heater will becomes one-fourth. The heating effect of current is the production of heat when an electric current is passed through the wire that has a high resistance. This effect is used in electric oven and electric heaters.
