Show answer
Correct Option: A

What is the voltage of the electricity that is generally supplied to a house ?

physics magnetic effects of electric current direct current types of current movement of charge

  1. $400 V$

  2. $200 V$

  3. $220 V$

  4. $260 V$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Worldwide, many different mains power systems are found for the operation of household and light commercial electrical appliances and lighting. The different systems are primarily characterized by the following.

  • Voltage
  • Frequency
  • Plugs and sockets (receptacles or outlets)
  • Earthing system (grounding)
  • Protection against overcurrent damage (e.g., due to short circuit), electric shock, and fire hazards.
  • Parameter tolerances.
All these parameters vary among regions. The voltages are generally in the range 100 to 240 V. The two commonly used frequencies are 50 and 60 Hz. Single-phase or three-phase power is most commonly used today.
In India, a voltage of nearly 220 volts and a frequency of 50 cycles per second is used.
Hence correct option is option C

In a dry cell

physics magnetic effects of electric current direct current types of current movement of charge

  1. Chemical energy is converted into heat

  2. Electrical energy is converted into electrical energy

  3. Chemical energy is converted into electrical energy

  4. Chemical energy is constant

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A Dry cell is a type of electricity producing chemical cell, commonly used for many home and portable devices , often in the form of batteries. it was developed in 1886 by German scientist Carl Gassner. 

A dry cell  is designed to convert it's chemical energy into electrical energy.
hence option C is correct.

Secondary cells are also knows as

physics magnetic effects of electric current direct current types of current movement of charge

  1. Electrolyte

  2. Accumulators

  3. Dry cell

  4. All

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Secondary cells also provide current as a result of chemical reaction, but they can be recharged after use because in these cells, the chemical reaction is reversible.

Which of the following is a source of direct current.

physics magnetic effects of electric current direct current types of current movement of charge

  1. Cell

  2. Electromagnet

  3. Bulb

  4. Switch

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Source of direct current are the cells. In a cell, the chemical energy changes in to the electrical energy when it sends current in a circuit.

The function ${\sin}^{2}{\omega t}$ represents:
