A heating element is marked 210 V, 630 W. The current drawn by the element and the resistance of the element when connected to 210 V DC mains would respectively be: |
$4 A, 60 \Omega$ $3 A, 70 \Omega$ $8 A, 40 \Omega$ $6 A, 10 \Omega$ |
$3 A, 70 \Omega$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $3 A, 70 \Omega$ Given, V, Voltage of the heating element = 210 V P, Power of the heating element = 630 W Also, $P=V×I$ [formula] where, I, current in the circuit ∴ $I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{630}{210}$ $I=3A$ Now, $P=V.\frac{V}{R}$ [V = IR : Ohm's law] $⇒R=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(210)^2}{630}$ $=70Ω$ |
