Answer: (i)
given - P= 100w
And V = 220v
So We know P = V^2/R
Therefore R= V^2/P
= 220x220/100
=484ohm
Now V= 120v
t= 2min
360sec
H= I^2Rt
H=120(I X R = V) X V/R X 360
= 120x 0.24X360
= 10368JOULES /SEC
HENCE HEAT PRODUCED IS 10368J/S
(ii)Joules law of heating states that the heat produced when electricity grows through a circuit is directly proportional to the square of current flowing through it , resistance of the object and the time till which current flows.
(iii) SI unit of potential difference is defined as the 1joule of work done to move and 1coulomb of charge from one point to another .
That is V= W/Q
