When three identical bulbs of 60 watt 200 volt rating are connected in series to a 200-volt supply, the power drawn by them will be
180 watt
10 watt
20 watt
60 watt
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
\(\frac{1}{P_{eq}}=\frac{1}{P_1}+\frac{1}{P_2}+\frac{1}{P_3}\)+.......
For this question \(\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{60}\) = \(\frac{3}{60}\) = \(\frac{1}{20}\) \(\Rightarrow\) Peq = 20watt

- A small spherical shell \( S_1 \) has point charges \( q_1 = -3 \, \mu C \), \( q_2 = -2 \, \mu C \) and \( q_3 = 9 \, \mu C \) inside it. This shell is enclosed by another big spherical shell \( S_2 \). A point charge \( Q \) is placed in between the two surfaces \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \). If the electric flux through the surface \( S_2 \) is four times the flux through surface \( S_1 \), find charge \( Q \).

As shown below, bob A of a pendulum having massless string of length \( R \) is released from \( 60^\circ \) to the vertical. It hits another bob B of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob A after the collision will be (take \( g \) as acceleration due to gravity):

- An electron (mass \(9 \times 10^{-31}\) kg and charge \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) C) moving with speed \(c/100\) (\(c\) = speed of light) is injected into a magnetic field of magnitude \(9 \times 10^{-4}\) T perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field \( \vec{E} \) together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. (speed of light \(c = 3 \times 10^8\) m/s):

Electric Current
Defining Electric Current
It is the rate of flow of electrons in a conductor. SI Unit - Ampere (A).
Electrons are negatively charged particles hence when they move a number of charges moves.
Note:- The ability of a particular substance to conduct electricity depends on the number of electrons that are able to move . Some of the materials allow current to flow better than others.
What is an Electromotive Force?
If a force acts on electrons to make them move in a particular direction, then up to some extent random motion of the electrons will be eliminated. An overall movement in one direction. The force which acts on the electrons to move them in a certain direction is known as electromotive force and its quantity is known as voltage and is measured in V.
