One electric bulb is attached to a 220 V generator (current = 0.50A). Find the power of the bulb.

Electric power can be expressed as the rate at which work is done or energy is transmitted in an electric circuit. A given value of power can be generated by a value combination of current and voltage. In order to determine power of the bulb, we have to:

Step 1: Data Given

The following data is already mentioned:

Voltage, V = 220 V
Current, I = 0.05 A

Step 2: Finding Solution

Since the voltage and current of a bulb are already mentioned, power can be estimated via the derived formula of Power, which is:

Power = Voltage × Current

Thus,

⇒ p = 220 x 0.05p

= 22 x 0.5p

= 11 W

Therefore, the power which is required equals 11 W.

A charged particle $+q$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. As a result, its kinetic energy changes. Similarly, the charged particle also experiences a force when it moves in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. But this magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity $\vec{v}$ of the charged particle and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, so it cannot change the kinetic energy of the charged particle. Consider two charged particles 1 and 2 of masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ having charges $-q$ and $+2q$ respectively. They are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $V$ and acquire kinetic energy $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then they enter in a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ perpendicular to their velocities.

An astronomical telescope consists of two converging lenses. One of them of large aperture and large focal length is called objective lens and the other one, of smaller focal length and smaller aperture is called the eyepiece. It is used to see distant objects which are not seen clearly with naked eyes. The image formed by the objective lens acts as an object for the eyepiece and the final image produced by the eyepiece is magnified.
