In our homes, we receive the supply of electric power through a main supply also called mains, either supported through overhead electric poles or by underground cables. In our country the potential difference between the two wires (live wire and neutral wire) of this supply is 220 V.
Consider the following circuits : In which circuit will the power dissipated in the circuit be (I) minimum (II) maximum ? Justify your answer.
Two lamps, rated 100 W; 220 V and 60 W; 220 V are connected in parallel to electric main supply of 220 V. Find the current drawn by the two lamps from the supply.
Explain in brief the function of an electric fuse in a domestic circuit. An electric heater of current rating 3 kW; 220 V is to be operated in an electric circuit of rating 5 A. What is likely to happen when the heater is switched 'ON' ? Justify your answer with necessary calculation.
In a domestic circuit five LED bulbs are arranged as shown. The source voltage is 220 V and the power rating of each bulb is marked in the circuit diagram. Based on the following circuit diagram, answer the following questions :
