Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 97

Question: If a wire of resistance $ 20,\Omega $ is covered with ice and a voltage of 210 V is applied across the wire, then the rate of melting of ice is

[AFMC 1997]

Options:

A) $ 0.85,g/s $

B) $ 1.92,g/s $

C) $ 6.56,g/s $

D) All of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ H=\frac{V^{2}}{R}\times t=\frac{{{(210)}^{2}}}{20}\times 1=mL $ \ $ \frac{{{(210)}^{2}}}{20}=m\times 80\times 4.2 $

Therefore $ m=6.56g/s, $
