Vishva noticed in a dhaba around 50 bulbs, each of 100 W all were glowing. She calculated the cost of electricity consumed in one hour and told the dhaba owner to reduce the expenses and at the same time save electricity by using CFL bulbs instead of ordinary filament-type bulbs.
(1) What would be the cost of electric energy if 50 bulbs, each of 100 W , are used for one hour? 1 unit costs ₹ 5 .
(2) What is a CFL?
(3) What value did Vishva display in the above case?

Mitali's mother was cooking in the kitchen for guests. Mitali saw her mother had plugged in microwave, hot plate and food processor on the same plug point. She immediately switched off the plug and removed all the plugs and re-plugged them in separate individual plugs.
(1) What happens when we use too many electrical devices plugged in one power point?
(2) What is the power of a device?
(3) What value did Mitali display in the above act?

Bharat was doing an experiment by using an ammeter. Suddenly, it fell from his hand and broke. He was afraid, that he might be scolded and threaten by his teacher. His classmate advised him not to tell the teacher, but he refused and told his teacher. On listening to him patiently, the teacher did not scold him and threaten as it was just an accident and used the opportunity to show the internal structure of the ammeter to the whole class.
On the basis of above passage, answer the following questions :
(1) What values do you learn from Bharat?
(2) What is the use of ammeter? How is it connected in the circuit?
(3) State the aim of any one experiment, where Bharat could have used the ammeter.
