Electrical Engineering Questions and Answers


6)

If you used 400 W of power for 30 h, you have used


Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The power is multiplied by time then the energy is:

E = P*T.

E = 400*30 = 12*10^3.

= 12KWH.

7)

At the end of a 14 day period, your utility bill shows that you have used 18 kWh. What is your average daily power?


Answer: Option A

Explanation:

18 kwh for 14 days.

For one day power consumption is = 18/14.

= 1.2857

8)

A 15 V source is connected across a 12 Ω resistor. How much energy is used in three minutes?


Answer: Option B

Explanation:

As per ohm's law,

R = V / I
I = V / R
= 15 / 12
= 1.25 A

And Power P = V * I
= 15*1.25
= 18.75 w

Given duration is 3 miniute i.e. 3 / 60 hour

Therefore, Watt-hour = 18.75 * (3 / 60) = 0.9375

9)

A given power supply is capable of providing 6 A for 3.5 h. Its ampere-hour rating is


Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The capacity of battery generally expressed in AH, so that in this case AH is 6A*3.5H=21AH

10)

A power supply produces a 0.6 W output with an input of 0.7 W. Its percentage of efficiency is


Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Efficiency=output/input

=. 6\.7
=. 857

% efficiency =. 857*100
= 85.7%
