A 100-watt electric bulb is used for 10 hours. What will be the cost of electricity consumed, if the consumption cost is Rs. 5 per unit?
Correct Answer:
(A) Rs. 5
Energy Consumption of 100-watt electric bulb which is used for 10 hours = 100 ×10
= 1000-watt hour
= 1 kilowatt hour
= 1 unit.
According to question the cost of 1 unit of electricity = Rs 5.
Correct Answer:
(A) There is no heat loss
When electrical energy is converted into motion, there is no heat loss.

The temperature of the filament of lighted electric bulb is generally:
Correct Answer:
(C) 2000oC to 2500oC
Tungsten metal is used as filament in electric bulb. When electric current flows through it, its temperature goes up to 1500oC to 2500oC. Generally, electric bulbs convert only 5% to 10% of electric energy into light.
