  1. An incandescent lamp is marked 40W, 240V. If resistance at room temperature (26°C) is 120 Ω and temperature coefficient of resistance is 4.5 × 10– 3/°C , then its ‘ON ’ state filament temperature in °C is approximately ___________.

    P = 40 W
    V = 240V

    Now , Rlamp =
    V2
    =
    2402
    = 1440 Ω
    P40

    AT t = 26 °, R = 120W and α = 4.5 × 10– 3/ °C
    Now Rlamp = R[1 + α (t2 – t1)]
    ∴ 1440 = 120[ 1 + 4.5 × 10– 32 - 26)]
    t2 = 2470.44 °C

    Correct Option: B

    P = 40 W
    V = 240V

    Now , Rlamp =
    V2
    =
    2402
    = 1440 Ω
    P40

    AT t = 26 °, R = 120W and α = 4.5 × 10– 3/ °C
    Now Rlamp = R[1 + α (t2 – t1)]
    ∴ 1440 = 120[ 1 + 4.5 × 10– 32 - 26)]
    t2 = 2470.44 °C


  1. In the figure, the value of resistor R is (25 + I/2) ohms, where I is the current in amperes. The current I is _________

    R = 25 +
    I
    2

    Now V = RI
    ∴ 300 = I25 +
    I
    ∴ R = 25 +
    I
    22

    ∴ 600 = 50 I + I2
    I = 10 A or – 60 A
    I2 + 50 I – 600 = 0
    ∴ I = 10A

    Correct Option: C

    R = 25 +
    I
    2

    Now V = RI
    ∴ 300 = I25 +
    I
    ∴ R = 25 +
    I
    22

    ∴ 600 = 50 I + I2
    I = 10 A or – 60 A
    I2 + 50 I – 600 = 0
    ∴ I = 10A

  1. The total power dissipated in the circuit, shown in the figure, is 1 kW.

    The voltmeter, across the load, reads 200 V. The value of XL is ___________.

    Power dissipation = 1 kW = 1000 W
    ⇒ 1000 = 22 .1 + 102. R
    [Power dissipation occurs in 1 Ω and Resistor R]
    ⇒ 1000 = 4 + 100 R
    ⇒ R = 9.96 Ω
    Now ,
    ⇒ 2002 = 100 R2 + 100 XL2
    ⇒ 10XL = 173.43
    ⇒ XL = 17.34

    Correct Option: D

    Power dissipation = 1 kW = 1000 W
    ⇒ 1000 = 22 .1 + 102. R
    [Power dissipation occurs in 1 Ω and Resistor R]
    ⇒ 1000 = 4 + 100 R
    ⇒ R = 9.96 Ω
    Now ,
    ⇒ 2002 = 100 R2 + 100 XL2
    ⇒ 10XL = 173.43
    ⇒ XL = 17.34
