Power supply is transmitted at a very high voltage and low current in order to?
A
make pass through the trasformers
B
increase the power supply
C
make it travel fast
D
prevent overheating of the coil
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
H eat generated in a wire carrying current, H = 12 Rt.
so, when voltage is high and current is low heat generated in the wire will be minimal.
Therefore, high voltage and low current prevent overheating of the coil.

A galvanometer with full-scale deflection of 10 mA is to be converted to a voltmeter with full-scale deflection of 5v. if a series resistance of 498Ω is used for the conversion, the resistance of the galvanometer is ?
A
1Ω
B
2Ω
C
5Ω
D
10Ω
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
r = resistance of the galvanometer
l = current through galvanometer = 1mA or 0.01A
V1 = p.d across the galvanometer = I X r = 0.01 X r
: V1 = 0.01r
V2 = p.d across the multiplier = 5 - 0.01r
R = resistance of the multiplier = 498\Omega
where R = \(\frac{V}{I}\) --> 498 = \(\frac{5 - 0.01r}{0.01}\)
CROSS MULTIPLY --> 498 X 0.01 = 5 - 0.01r
0.01r = 5 - 4.98
∴ r = \(\frac{0.02}{0.01}\) = 2\Omega

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Energy consumed = power x time
= 200W x 24hr = 4800wh
= 4.8 kwh
But 1 kwh cost N40
∴ 4.8kwh costs 4.8 x 40
= N192

In alternating current circuit at resonance, the angle of lead or lag is?
A
π°
B
(π)/2°
C
(π)/3°
D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Resonance occurs whenever the phase angle of the circuit is zero, The only way that f = 0 is if XL = XC
Note that tanϕ = \(\frac{ X }{ R}\) where X = reactance and ϕ = angle of lead or lag.
therefore, tan ϕ = \(\frac{ X_L - X_C}{ R}\) but at resonance \(X_L = X_C\)
tan ϕ = \(\frac{0}{R}\) = 0 and ϕ = \(tan^{-1}\) = 0º
