What is the e.m.f of a cell if it uses 4.2 joules of energy as it pushes 6 coulombs of charge around a circuit?
-
0.7 V
-
25.2 V
-
1.43 V
-
4.8 V
Correct Answer
A. 0.7 VExplanation
The electromotive force (e.m.f) of a cell is a measure of the energy provided by the cell to each unit of charge that passes through it. In this question, the cell uses 4.2 joules of energy to push 6 coulombs of charge around the circuit. To find the e.m.f, we divide the energy (4.2 J) by the charge (6 C), which gives us 0.7 V. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.7 V.Rate this question:

The e.m.f of a cell is 1.5V. What energy is dissipated by the cell if it drives 0.4C of charge round the circuit?
-
0.6 J
-
0.6 W
-
3.75 J
-
3.75 W
Correct Answer
A. 0.6 JExplanation
The energy dissipated by the cell can be calculated using the formula E = QV, where E is the energy, Q is the charge, and V is the voltage. In this case, the charge is 0.4C and the voltage is 1.5V. Plugging these values into the formula, we get E = 0.4C * 1.5V = 0.6 J. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.6 J.Rate this question:

How much charge flows through an appliance rated 240V, 60W when it is used for 5 mins?
-
75.0 C
-
0.25 C
-
40.0 C
-
1.25 C
Correct Answer
A. 75.0 CExplanation
The correct answer is 75.0 C. Charge is calculated by multiplying the current (I) by the time (t). In this case, the power (P) is given as 60W, and since P = IV, we can calculate the current as I = P/V. Plugging in the values, I = 60W/240V = 0.25A. Given that the time is 5 minutes (or 300 seconds), we can calculate the charge as Q = It = 0.25A * 300s = 75.0 C.Rate this question:

What is the power of a light bulb if a 240 V light bulb is switched on for 2 minutes? A current of 3 A is moving through the bulb.
-
720 Watts
-
1440 Watts
-
86400 Watts
-
840 Watts
Correct Answer
A. 720 WattsExplanation
The power of a light bulb can be calculated using the formula P = VI, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current. In this case, the voltage is given as 240 V and the current is given as 3 A. By substituting these values into the formula, we get P = 240 V * 3 A = 720 Watts. Therefore, the power of the light bulb is 720 Watts.Rate this question:
