RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 Fitter Question Paper (21-Jan-2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is
$4.8 \times 10^6 \text{ J}$

Problem Analysis:

We need to calculate the heat generated when a specific amount of charge moves across a given potential difference. The key quantities provided are:

  • Charge (\(Q\)): 96000 Coulombs (C)
  • Potential Difference (\(V\)): 50 Volts (V)
  • Time (\(t\)): 1 hour (This information is context, but not directly needed for the calculation using the formula \(H = Q \times V\)).

Calculating Heat Generated

The heat generated (which is equivalent to the electrical energy transferred) when a charge \(Q\) moves through a potential difference \(V\) is given by the formula:

\(H = Q \times V\)

Where:

  • \(H\) is the Heat generated (in Joules, J)
  • \(Q\) is the Charge transferred (in Coulombs, C)
  • \(V\) is the Potential Difference (in Volts, V)

Step-by-Step Calculation

  1. Substitute the given values into the formula:

    \(H = 96000 \text{ C} \times 50 \text{ V}\)

  2. Perform the multiplication:

    \(H = 4,800,000 \text{ J}\)

  3. Express the answer in scientific notation:

    To match the format of the options, we convert 4,800,000 J to scientific notation:

    \(H = 4.8 \times 10^6 \text{ J}\)

Final Answer Derivation

The calculated heat generated is \(4.8 \times 10^6\) J. This matches one of the provided options.
