A room `AC` run for `5` hour at a voltage of `220V` The wiring of the room constant of `Cu` of `1mm` ratio and a length of `10 m` consumption per day is `10` commerclal unit What fraction of it goes in the joule heated in wire? What would happen if the wiring is made of aluminum of the same distances? `[rho_(cu) = 1.7 xx 10^(-8) Omega,rho_(A1) = 2.7 xx 10^(-8) Omega m]`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem step by step, we will follow the outlined process: ### Step 1: Calculate the Power Consumption The power consumption per day is given as 10 commercial units. One commercial unit is equivalent to 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh). Therefore, the total energy consumed in a day is: \[ \text{Energy} = 10 \text{ kWh} = 10 \times 1000 \text{ Wh} = 10000 \text{ Wh} \] Since the AC runs for 5 hours, we can find the power consumed: \[ \text{Power} = \frac{\text{Energy}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{10000 \text{ Wh}}{5 \text{ h}} = 2000 \text{ W} = 2000 \text{ J/s} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Resistance of the Copper Wire The resistance \( R \) of the wire can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \] Where: - \( \rho \) (resistivity of copper) = \( 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \, \text{m} \) - \( L \) (length of the wire) = 10 m - \( A \) (cross-sectional area) = \( \pi r^2 \) The radius \( r \) is given as 1 mm, which is \( 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \). Thus, \[ A = \pi (1 \times 10^{-3})^2 = \pi \times 10^{-6} \approx 3.14 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] Now substituting the values into the resistance formula: \[ R = \frac{1.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 10}{3.14 \times 10^{-6}} \approx 0.539 \, \Omega \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Current Using the power formula \( P = VI \), we can rearrange it to find the current \( I \): \[ I = \frac{P}{V} = \frac{2000 \text{ W}}{220 \text{ V}} \approx 9.09 \text{ A} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Power Loss in the Copper Wire The power loss due to Joule heating in the wire is given by: \[ P_{\text{loss}} = I^2 R \] Substituting the values: \[ P_{\text{loss}} = (9.09)^2 \times 0.539 \approx 4.38 \text{ W} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Fraction of Power Loss To find the fraction of power loss in the wire: \[ \text{Fraction} = \frac{P_{\text{loss}}}{P_{\text{total}}} = \frac{4.38}{2000} \times 100 \approx 0.219\% \] ### Step 6: Calculate Power Loss if the Wiring is Made of Aluminum Now, we will repeat the process for aluminum. The resistivity of aluminum is given as \( 2.7 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \, \text{m} \). #### Step 6.1: Calculate the Resistance of the Aluminum Wire \[ R_{\text{Al}} = \frac{\rho_{\text{Al}} L}{A} = \frac{2.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 10}{3.14 \times 10^{-6}} \approx 0.859 \, \Omega \] #### Step 6.2: Calculate the Power Loss in the Aluminum Wire \[ P_{\text{loss, Al}} = I^2 R_{\text{Al}} = (9.09)^2 \times 0.859 \approx 6.95 \text{ W} \] #### Step 6.3: Calculate the Fraction of Power Loss for Aluminum \[ \text{Fraction}_{\text{Al}} = \frac{P_{\text{loss, Al}}}{P_{\text{total}}} = \frac{6.95}{2000} \times 100 \approx 0.345\% \] ### Final Results - Fraction of power loss in copper wire: **0.219%** - Fraction of power loss in aluminum wire: **0.345%**
