A geyser is rated 1500W,250V. It is connected to 250V mains.
Calculate:
(i) The Current drawn.
(ii) The energy consumed in 50hrs.
(iii) the cost of energy consumed at Rs2.20per KWh
Solution
Here we know the power value, time voltage, so by using a unique formula according to an electrical circuit, we can measure the above statements, the ammeter is connected in series while the voltmeter is connected in parallel. Then find the value to change the formula for our reference.
Useful formula:
The power is defined as,
P=VI
Where,
P= power
V= voltage
I= current
Energy Is defined as,
E=P×T
Where,
E= energy
T= Time
Complete answer:
Given by,
Power P=1500W
Voltage V=250V
Now,
We need to calculate.
(i) The current drawn
We know that formula of current,
Here,
P=VI
We know the value of P and V
So, we rearranging the following equation,
The current is equal to the power divided by the voltage
I=VP
Substituting the given value in above formula,
We get,
I=2501500
On simplifying,
I=6A
Thus, the current drawn is 6A
We need to calculate the energy consumed in 50hrs
(ii) The energy consumed in 50hrs.
Energy is defined as,
According to the formula
E=P×T
Here,
We substituting the P value in above formula,
We get,
E=VI×T
Substituting the given value in above formula,
250×6×50
On simplifying,
E=7500W−h
Here,
Thus, the energy consumed in 50hrs is 75kW−h.
(iii) The cost of energy consumed of 2.20 per unit.
We need to calculate the total cost
The total cost =2.20×75
Hence,
The current energy consumed in 50hours and total cost are 6A.
75W−h and 165Rs
Note:
One of the types of energy that requires the movement of electrons is electricity. It is the most widely used source of energy and a fundamental part of nature. the production of electricity occurs. Volt is a joule per coulomb since, while coulomb is a unit for the charge, joule is a unit of work performed.
