Recent questions

  • How can I calculate current passing through a resistor?

    To calculate the current passing through a resistor, you can apply Ohm's law, which states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). For example, if you have a 3-ohm resistor and a voltage of 12 volts applied across it, the current passing through the resistor would be 4 amperes (I = V / R = 12V / 3Ω = 4A).

  • What is the formula for finding total equivalent resistance in a series circuit?

    In a series circuit, the total equivalent resistance (R_total) is calculated by adding the individual resistances of each component. For instance, if you have resistors of 2 ohms, 3 ohms, and 4 ohms connected in series, the total equivalent resistance would be 9 ohms (R_total = 2Ω + 3Ω + 4Ω = 9Ω).

  • How do I determine the change in resistance when a wire is stretched?

    When a wire is stretched, its resistance changes due to the alteration in its dimensions. However, the resistivity of the material remains constant. To calculate the change in resistance, you can use the formula for resistance, which is R = ρ * (L / A), where ρ is the resistivity, L is the length of the wire, and A is the cross-sectional area.

  • How can I calculate the heat produced in a coil when a current is passed through it?

    To determine the heat produced in a coil when a current flows through it, you can utilize Joule's law of heating, which states that heat produced (H) is equal to the product of current (I), resistance (R), and time (t). For example, if a coil has a resistance of 5 ohms and a current of 2 amperes passes through it for 10 seconds, the heat produced would be 100 joules (H = I^2 * R * t = 2A^2 * 5Ω * 10s = 100J).

  • How do I calculate the power consumed by a bulb with a lower voltage?

    When calculating the power consumed by a bulb connected to a lower voltage, you can use the formula P = V^2 / R, where P represents power, V is the voltage across the bulb, and R is the resistance of the bulb. For instance, if a bulb with a resistance of 10 ohms is connected to a voltage of 5 volts, the power consumed by the bulb would be 2.5 watts (P = 5V^2 / 10Ω = 2.5W).

Calculating Monthly Electricity Bill for Fans and Bulbs

  • The total energy consumed by fans and bulbs in a month is calculated by multiplying 3.5 kilowatt hours by 30 days, resulting in 105 kilowatt hours. This translates to 105 units of electricity, which, when multiplied by the rate of five rupees per unit, gives a total monthly bill of 525 rupees.
