Answer:
1.92 Watt lost
Explanation:
Power rating of each toaster = 600 Watts
Current that flows = 5 Amperes
Wasted power = 1 Watt
Voltage of toaster can be gotten from P = [tex]I^{2}[/tex]R
where I = current
and R = Resistance
600 = [tex]5^{2}[/tex] x R
R = 600/25 = 24 Ohms.
According to joules loss due to heating of wire
Power loss P ∝ [tex]I^{2}[/tex]R
imputing values,
1 ∝ [tex]5^{2}[/tex] x 24
1 ∝ 600
to remove the proportionality sign, we introduce a constant k
1 = 600k
k = 1/600 = 0.00167
For the case where the current is doubled to 10 ampere, as the power doubles to 1200 W.
The resistance across the wire becomes
1200 = [tex]10^{2}[/tex]R
R = 1200/100 = 12 Ohms
power loss P = k x [tex]I^{2}[/tex]R
P = 0.0016 x [tex]10^{2}[/tex] x 12
P = 1.92 Watt lost
This question involves the concepts of power, current, and resistance.
The power wasted by the wires in the home for two units will be "4 watt".
The power wasted by the wires can be given in terms of current and resistance by the following formula:
[tex]P=I^2R\\\\\frac{P}{I^2}=R=Constant\\\\\frac{P_1}{I_1^2}=\frac{P_2}{I_2^2}[/tex]
where,
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{1\ watt}{(5\ A)^2}=\frac{P_2}{(10\ A)^2}\\\\P_2=\frac{(1\ watt)(100\ A^2)}{25\ A^2}[/tex]
P₂ = 4 watt
