Question

An electric heater of resistance 6 Ω is run for 10 min on a line of 120 V. The energy liberated in this period of time is:
  1. 7.2×103J
  2. 14.4×105J
  3. 43.2×104J
  4. 28.8×104J

A
7.2×103J
B
28.8×104J
C
14.4×105J
D
43.2×104J
Solution
Verified by Toppr

By Joule's Law of heating:
E=V2Rt
E; Energy developed
V; Applied voltage
R; Resistance of wire
t; time
E=12026×10×60
E=14.4×105J

Q5
A lead ball at 30C is dropped from a height of 6.2 km. The ball is heated due to the air resistance and it completely melts just before reaching the ground. The molten substance falls slowly on the ground. Calculate the latent heat of fusion of lead. Specific heat of lead = 126J/kgC and melting point of lead = 330C. Assume that any mechanical energy lost is used to heat the ball. Use \(g = 10 m/s^{2}\).
