(i) What is the meaning of an electrical appliance having 2200W and 220V ?
(ii) What is the resistance of this appliance?
(iii) If the supply potential is 110V , What will be the power consumed by this appliance?
(iv)If this appliance is used for 8 hours a day, what will be the electrical energy consumed?
Solution
Hint : As the power and voltage is given in the question, the resistance and electrical energy can be calculated by using the formula given below. In the third sub question the power should be calculated by using the resistance value obtained in the second sub question because the resistance of any appliance remains the same even if the power and voltage is changed.
Complete step-by-step solution:
Given:
Power, P= 2200W
Voltage, V= 220V
(i) An electrical appliance having 2200W and 220V means the appliance will deliver a power of 2200W at voltage 220V . That is maximum power that is delivered by appliance will be 2200W at voltage 220V that can give a maximum current of
I=VP
I=2202200=10A
That is the safe current the appliance can withstand is 10A .
(ii) Resistance of the appliance:-
We know that,
R=PV2
On substituting the given data in above equation
R=2200(220)2
On simplifying the above equation, we get
Therefore Resistance, R=22Ω
(iii) The power consumed when voltage is 110V
Given: V=110V
Take, R=22Ω because the resistance of appliance remains the same even the voltage is different
P=RV2
On substituting the given data in above equation
P=22(110)2
On simplifying the above equation, we get
Therefore power, P=550W
(iv)
⇒ Electrical energy in joules (J)
Given: P=2200
t=8×3600=28800s
E=P×t
On substituting the given data in above equation
E=2200×28800
On simplifying the above equation, we get
Therefore, Electrical energy in joules E=63360000J
⇒ Electrical energy in kilowatt hour (kwhr)
Given: P=2200
t=8hr
E=1000P×t
On substituting the given data in above equation
E=10002200×8
On simplifying the above equation, we get
Therefore, Electrical energy in kilowatt hour E=17.6kwhr
Note: It should be noted that if energy is required in joules (J) the power should be substituted in watt and time should be substituted in seconds and if energy is required in kilowatt hour (kwhr) the power should be substituted in watt and time should be substituted in hour in the equation (2) and (3) respectively.
