A $220\, volt$ and $800\, watt$ electric kettle and three $220\, volt$ and $100\, watt$ bulbs are connected in parallel. On connecting this combination with $220\, volt$ electric supply, the total current will be ................ $ampere$
A$0.15$
B$5.0$
C$5.5$
D$6.9$

B$5.0$
b (b) Total power $P = (800 + 3 \times 100)$
Also $P = Vi$ $ \Rightarrow $ $1100 = 220 \times i$ $ \Rightarrow $ $i = 5\,A$

An electric kettle takes $4\, A$ current at $220\, V$. How much time will it take to boil $1\, kg$ of water from room temperature $20\,^\circ C$ ? The temperature of boiling water is $100\,^\circ C$ .................. $minutes$
A potentiometer consists of a wire of length $4\, m$ and resistance $10\,\Omega $. It is connected to a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\, V$. The potential difference per unit length of the wire will be ............. $V/m$
An electric heater consists of a nichrome coil and runs under $220 \,V$, consuming $1 \,kW$ power. Part of its coil burned out and it was reconnected after cutting off the burnt portion.The power it will cunsume now is
In a potentiometer experiment shown here, for the position $X$ of the jockey $J,$ there occurs a null deflection in the galvanometer. Then the potential difference between points $A$ and $X$ is ................ $V$
A torch bulb rated as $4.5\, W, 1.5\, V$ is connected as shown in the figure. The $e.m.f.$ of the cell needed to make the bulb glow at full intensity is ............. $V$
