Questions Related to work and energy

Electron volt is the unit of

  1. energy

  2. potential difference

  3. charge

  4. charge to mass


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We know that the electrical potential energy of electron $U=eV$ where e is the charge of electron and V be the voltage. So electron volt will be the unit of energy.  

The ratio of SI units to CGS units of energy is

  1. 10$^5$

  2. 10$^6$

  3. 10$^7$

  4. 10$^{-7}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Unit of energy is $ML^2T^{-2}$ 

So in  $CGS$ unit, mass = gram, length = centimeter, time = second.
And in $SI$ unit, mass = kilo gram, length = meter ,time = second.
So ratio of both SI to CGS

=$\dfrac{kg.m^2.s^{-2}  }{g.cm^2.s^{-2}}$

=$\dfrac {1000g.100^2cm^2.s^{-2}}{g.cm^2s^{-2}}$

=$10^7$.

1 horse power is equal to

  1. 740 watts

  2. 746 watts

  3. 648 watts

  4. 748 watts


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

1 horse power is equal to 746 watts.

i.e. $1 \ H.P.=746W$.

1 kWh equals

  1. $ 3.6 \times 10^6 J$

  2. $ 3.6 \times 10^7 J$

  3. $ 3.6 \times 10^8 J$

  4. $ 3.6 \times 10^{-6} J$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

1 watt is defined as 1 joule/second.

So $1kW = 1000W$, and $1 hour =60 \times 60 seconds $

So $1kWh = 3600kWs = 3,600,000Ws = 3,600,000J$

$1kWh=3.6*{{10}^{6}}J$

One kWh is equal to

  1. $3.6 \times 10^6 J$

  2. $3.6 \times 10^5 J$

  3. $3.6 \times 10^4 J$

  4. $3.6 \times 10^3 J$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Watt is defined as joule per second. Kilowatt is $10^3$joule per second and kwh is kilowatt hour $10^3\times60\times60$ 

So 1kwh=$3.6\times10^7$J. 

The number of joules that is equal in value to 1 kWh is.

  1. $3.6\times 10^8$

  2. $0.36\times 10^4$

  3. $3.6\times 10^5$

  4. $3.6\times 10^6$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

1 kWh is equal to 3.6 $\times$ 10$^{6}$

1 Watt-sec  is a Joule a watt expended for a second.

Because there’s 3600 seconds in an hour,

then 3600 Ws = 1 Wh = 3600 Joules = 3.6 kJ

so 1000 Wh = 1 kWh = 1000 $\times$ 3.6 kJ = 3.6 MJ = 3.6 $\times$ 10$^{6}$

Kilowatt hour (kWh) represents the unit of____

  1. power

  2. impulse

  3. mementum

  4. none of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The kilowatt hour is a unit of energy equal to $3.6\times 10^6J$. If the energy is being transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt hours is the power in kilowatts multiplied by the time in hours. so if kWh is unit of energy so none of the option is correct hence option D is the answer.

Watt sec represents the unit for:

  1. energy

  2. power

  3. force

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A watt second (also watt-second, symbol W s or W. · s) is a derived unit of energy equivalent to the joule. The watt-second is the energy equivalent to the power of one watt sustained for one second.

So this is unit of energy.

One joule is approximately equal to:

  1. 0.28 cal

  2. 0.32 cal

  3. 0.24 cal

  4. 4.2 cal


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

calorie (cal) is the energy needed to increase 1 gram of water by 1°C at a pressure of 1 atmosphere.

1 cal = 4.184 J. 
So 1J =0.24cal.

1 MeV is equal to:

  1. $1.6 \times 10^{-19} J$

  2. $1.6 \times 10^{-14} J$

  3. $1.6 \times 10^{-13} J$

  4. $1.6 \times 10^{13} J$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 Electron volt (symbol eV) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.6×1019  joules (symbol J). By definition, it is the amount of energy gained (or lost) by the charge of a single electron moving across an electric potential difference of one volt.

And mega electron volt (MeV) is $10^6\times eV$ so $1MeV=1.6 \times 10^{-13}$.
so best possible option is optionC.
