Statement- 1 : When an electric fan is switched on in a closed room, the air of the room is cooled. Statement- 2 : When fan is switched on, the speed of the air molecules will increase.
When current is 'switched on' and 'switched off' in a coil, a current is induced in another coil kept near it. What is this phenomenon known as ?
Assertion : If an electric fan be switched on in a closed room, the air of the room will be cooled. Reason : Fan air decrease the temperature of the room.
A block is kept in a room which is at 20^(@)C . To raise the temperature of the block, heat is given to it at a constant rate of 600 watt (using an electric heater). The temperature of the block rises with time as shown in the graph. The slope of the graph at time t = 0 is 3^(@)C s^(-1) . Once the temperature rises to 60^(@)C , the heater is switched off and another heater is switched on to maintain the temperature of the block at 60^(@)C . This new heater supplies heat at a constant rate of 100 watt. Assume that heat capacity of the block remains constant for the range of temperature involved. (a) Explain why the slope of the given graph is decreasing with time. (b) Calculate the heat capacity of the block. (c) If the 100 W heater is also switched off, what will be initial rate of cooling of the block? (d) Assuming that rate of heat loss by the block to the surrounding is proportional to difference in its temperature with surrounding, calculate the heat radiated per second by the block when it was at 30^(@)C .
On a cold winter night you switch on a room heater to keep your room warm. Does it mean that the total energy of the air inside the room increases after you switch on the heater?
A metal block is placed in a room which is at 10^(@)C for long time. Now it is heated by an electric heater of power 500 W till its temperature becomes 50^(@)C . Its initial rate of rise of temperature is 2.5^(@)C//sec . The heater is switched off and now a heater of 100W is required to maintain the temperature of the block at 50^(@)C . (Assume Newtons Law of cooling to be valid) What is the rate of cooling of block at 50^(@)C if the 100W heater is also switched off?
When a circuit is switched on, current flows through the circuit with the speed of light because
