An electric lamp of hundred ohm is a toaster of resistance 50 ohms and a water filter of resistance 500 ohm is connected in parallel to 220V source. What is the resistance of electrical iron connected to the same source that takes as much as current as all the three appliances and what is the current through it
Answers
Answer:
Given parameters:
Resistance of electric lamp (R1) = 100 Ω
Resistance of toaster (R2) = 50 Ω
Resistance of water filter (R3) = 500 Ω
Potential difference of the source (V) = 220 V
Explanation:
To find
(1) Resistance of an electric iron
(2) The flow of electric current through the electric iron.
The three resistors are connected in parallel as shown in the below figure.
(1) Total resistance (R) can be calculated as shown below.
1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃
1/R = 1/100 + 1/50 + 1/500
1/R = ( 5 + 10 + 1 )/500
1/R = 16/500
500/16 = R
Total Resistance (R) = 500/16 Ω
R = 31.25 Ω
(2) According to ohm’s law the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
V ∝ I or V = IR
R is constant called resistance.
R = V/I
500/16 = 220/I
I = 220 × (16/500)
I = 7.04 A
Therefore, the resistance of the electric iron is 31.25 Ω and the current flowing through it is 7.04 A.
I hope it will help full to you friend,❤️❤️❤️❤️
