Question: An electric heater of resistance 6 ohm is run for 10 minutes on a 120 volt line. The energy liberated in this period of time is

[MP PMT 1996]

Options:

A) $ 7.2\times 10^{3},J $

B) $ 14.4\times 10^{5},J $

C) $ 43.2\times 10^{4},J $

D) $ 28.8\times 10^{4}J $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ H=i^{2}Rt=\frac{V^{2}t}{R}=\frac{120\times 120\times (10\times 60)}{6} $

$ =14.4\times 10^{5}joule $
