A 60 W bulb is used for 5 hours daily. How much electrical energy is consumed by the bulb in 30 days? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 60 W bulb is used for 5 hours daily. How much electrical energy is consumed by the bulb in 30 days?
A. 90 kWh
B. 900 kWh
C. 0.9 kWh
D. 9 kWh
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Electrical energy (E) = Power (P) × Time (t). Power = 60 W = 0.06 kW. Time per day = 5 hours. Total time in 30 days = 5 × 30 = 150 hours. Energy = 0.06 kW × 150 h = 9 kWh (or 9 units of electricity). One kWh is the commercial unit of energy.

Question #1
A cell of emf 2 V and internal resistance 0.5 Ω is connected to a 3.5 Ω resistor. Terminal voltage is
A. 1.5 V
B. 0.25 V
C. 2 V
D. 1.75 V

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
I = E/(R+r) = 2/(3.5+0.5) = 2/4 = 0.5 A. Terminal V = IR = 0.5×3.5 = 1.75 V. Or E - Ir = 2 - 0.5×0.5 = 1.75 V.

Question #3
The wavelength of ultrasonic waves is
A. Same as audible sound
B. Less than audible sound
C. Greater than audible sound
D. Cannot be determined

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Velocity v = fλ constant for given medium. Ultrasound has higher frequency (>20 kHz) than audible sound, so wavelength λ = v/f is smaller. Typical ultrasound in MHz range, λ in mm.
