Question

In a house, the connections are such that a bulb is in parallel with the fan and geyser. The resistances offered by them being 10Ω, 10Ω and 220Ω. The voltage for the house is 220V. Find the power consumed by the geyser because every time the geyser is on the fan speed reduces drastically.Also, What is the reason for this?

Solution

The correct option is C
200 W; Over loading due to geyser

The geyser draws more power as it requires more current to heat the coils will are employed as a principle.

Q. A fan operates at

when running at full speed. Its internal wiring has resistance

. When the fan runs at full speed, its speed becomes constant. This is because the torque due to magnetic field inside the fan is balanced by the torque due to air resistance on the blades of the fan and the torque due to friction between the fixed part and the shaft of the fan. The electric power going into the fan is spent (i) in the internal resistance as heat, call it

, (ii) in doing work against internal friction and air resistance producing heat, sound, etc., call it

. When the coil of fan rotates, an emf is also induced in the coil. This opposes the external emf is also induced in the coil. This opposes the external emf applied to send the current to the fan. This emf is called back emf, call it
