Quiz 1
1. Three incandescent lamps rated at 60W, 100W, 150W are connected in parallel. The
series arrangement connected across a 230 V supply. Calculate Power Absorbed by
each lamp, voltage across each lamp. Also prove that power absorbed is equal to power
supplied.
(7)
Solution:
The voltage across each lamp will be
V1 V2 V3 230V
Power Absorbed by each lamp and current through each lamp will be
P1 60W
I1
P1
60
0.261A
V1 230
P2 100W
I2
P2 100
0.435 A
V2 230
P3 150W
I3
P3 150
0.652 A
V3 230
Now Power absorbed and power supplied,
Power _ Supplied V * (I1 I 2 I3 )
Power _ Supplied 230 * (0.261 0.435 0.625) 304W
and
Power_Absorbed W1 W2 W3 60 100 150 310W
2. An electric radiating heater is required to dissipate 5kW power, when connected to a
230 V supply. A wire of 0.5 mm diameter is used in the construction of the above
mentioned heater, having specific resistance of 60 -cm. Calculate the required length
of wire.
