((V*V)/ R)*time in hrs

ARAMUTHAN said:   1 decade ago
Energy = Power x time (V=IR)--I = 15 V/12Ohms = 19.5

Energy = (1.25*15) x 3

Energy = 56.25 Wh so the answer should be C

@Ravi26v is right.

15v/12=1.25amps P=VI = 15*1.25=18.75 , FOR TIME IN MINUTE 3/60=.05 POWER IN THREE MINUTE=.05*18.75=.9375

15v/12=1.25amps P=VI = 15*1.25=18.75W consumed in one hour So in 3 minute 3/60=.05 POWER IN THREE MINUTE=.05*18.75=.9375

Bains is correct.

Namrata said:   1 decade ago
@Debu is correct.

P=VI
P=15*1.25=18.75

Total power = 18.75*3/60= .937

RAFI said:   1 decade ago
Energy=power*time
p=v*I
p=v*(v/R)(i=v/r)
p=Vsquare/R
=15*15/12=18.75
NOW,ENERGY IN 3MINUTES=18.75*3=56.25WATT MINUTES
ENERGY IN HOUR=18.75*0.05=0.9375WATT HOUR(3MINUTES=0.05HOUR)
ANSWER IS B

Ravi Purohit said:   1 decade ago
As per ohm's law,

R = V / I
I = V / R
= 15 / 12
= 1.25 A

And Power P = V * I
= 15*1.25
= 18.75 w

Given duration is 3 miniute i.e. 3 / 60 hour

Therefore, Watt-hour = 18.75 * (3 / 60) = 0.9375
