Take any electricity bill of your home. ...

Take any electricity bill of your home. In the bill there is one table which shows the units consumed by you for the last eleven months. Find the average consumption of electricity in your home for each season (i.e., summer, winter and rainy season). Are they the same? Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The units consumed, on an average, in a home are diferent for each season. The energy requirement depends very much on the temperature of the surroundings. For example, a refrigerator, electric fans, an air conditioner, etc. are used more in summer than in winter or rainy season. On the contrary, an electric heater, geyser, etc., are used more in winter than in summer. Hence, there is variation in the average consumption of electricity from season to season.

A person buys two electrical devices P and Q for lighting purposes in his house. The device P consumes only 5 units of electricity in a month but device Q consumes 15 units of electricity in a month when used for the same number of hours daily. The device Q wastes a lot of electricity by radiating energy C but P does not do so. (a) What type of device is (i) P, and (ii) Q ? (b) Name one component which is present in Q but not in P. (c) Name the energy C. (d) Which device is more energy efficient : P or Q ? (e) Which fossil fuel is most likely to be conserved if all of us switch over to devices like P ?

Two electric bulbs of 100 W each is used for 10 hours in the month of June. Write the following steps in sequential order to find the numbe of units of electricity consumed in the month of June. (A) The number of units of electricity consumed by both bulbs in the month of June is the total elec-trical energy consumed by bulbs expressed in W h divided by 100 W h . (B) Note the rated power of each electric bulb, time of electrical consumption of each bulb per day from the given data. (C ) We know, one electrical unit = 1 kW h or 1000 W h . (D) Calculate the amount of electrical energy con-sumed by both the bulbs in the month of June using, (sum of the electrical power of both the bulb) xx (time of consumption in one day) xx 30 days.

Pranith recived an electric bill for the month of April. He started verifying it by calculating the electrical energy consumed by a 2000 W electrical appliance that is used for two hours every day in his workshop. In his house he used bulbs of 100 W for 4 hours every day in the month of april, which con-sumes the same electrical energy as that of the elec-trical appliance in the work shop. Find the number of bulbs Panith uses in his house.

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer, if there in no error, the answer is ( e ). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any). I missed the last train (a)/ which I usually catch (b)/ and have to stay at the station (c)/ on my way back home yesterday. (d) No error (e).
