Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following formulas correctly represent electrical power?

Show answer

P = V × I, P = I² × R, P = V²/R

All three formulas P = V × I, P = I² × R, and P = V²/R are correct expressions for electrical power. They can be derived from each other using Ohm's law (V = IR).

2multiple choice

Calculate the electrical energy consumed by a 100W bulb used for 5 hours.

Show answer

0.5 kWh

Energy = Power × Time = 100W × 5h = 500 Wh = 0.5 kWh. Remember to convert watts to kilowatts by dividing by 1000.

3multiple correct

Why are household appliances connected in parallel?

Show answer

Each appliance gets full 220V, Each appliance works independently, If one appliance fails, others continue working

Parallel connection ensures each appliance gets full voltage (220V), works independently, and failure of one doesn't affect others. This is essential for household circuits.

4multiple choice

What is the purpose of earthing in electrical appliances?

Show answer

To protect from electric shock

Earthing provides a low resistance path for current to flow to ground if live wire touches the metal body of appliance, preventing electric shock to users and blowing the fuse.
