7.
\(R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{W}{q I}=\frac{W}{I t \times I}=\frac{W}{I^2 t}\)
Dimension of \( \mathrm{W} \rightarrow\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right] \)
Dimension of \( I \rightarrow[A] \)
Dimension of \(t \rightarrow[\mathrm{T}]\)
Hence,
\( [R]=\frac{\left.\mid \mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T^-2}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{A}^2 \mathrm{~T}\right]}=\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-3} \mathrm{~A}^{-2}\right] \)

18.
I = 0.2 A, R = 10 Ω, E = 2.1 V
\(I=\frac{ɛ}{R+r}\)
\(0.2=\frac{2.1}{10+r}\)
0.2 x (10 + r) = 2.1
2 + 0.2 r = 2.1
0.2 r = 2.1 - 2 = 0.1
Internal resistance, \(r=\frac{0.1}{0.2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
r = 0.5 Ω
19.
Rt = Ro [1 + α(T2 - T1)
2 = 1[1 + 0.00125(T2 - 293)
I = 5/4 x 10-3 (T2 - 293)
T2 = 1093 K
T2 = 820 oC
20.
\(\frac{1}{R_p}=\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{15}.\)
\(=\frac{1+1+1}{15}=\frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}\)
∴ Rp = 5 Ω
\(\therefore I=\frac{V}{R_p}=\frac{5}{5}=1A\)
21.
Rs = 3 + 2.5 + P = 5.5 + P
V = 9 V, I = 1.0 A
Rs = \(\frac{V}{I}=\frac{9}{1}= 9 \Omega\)
∴ 9 = 5.5 + P
∴ P = 9 - 5.5 = 3.5 Ω
22.
Total power = 15 x 40 + 5 x 100 + 5 x 80 + 1000
= 600 + 500 + 400 + 1000
= 2500 W
P = VI, V = 220 V
\(I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{2500}{220}=11.363 \ A\)
≃ 12 A
23.
\(\mathrm{V}_1 =220 \mathrm{~V}, \quad \mathrm{P}_1=60 \mathrm{~W} \)
\(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{U}} =110 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{U}}=60 \mathrm{~W} \)
\(P =\frac{V^2}{R} \Rightarrow R=\frac{V^2}{P} \)
\(\therefore R_l =\frac{V_I^2}{P_l} \text { Similarly, } \quad \mathrm{R}_U=\frac{V_U^2}{P_U} \)
\(R_l =\frac{220 \times 220}{60} \quad \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{U}}=\frac{110 \times 110}{60} \)
\(R_I =\frac{48400}{60} \quad R_U=\frac{12100}{60} \)
\(\frac{R_U}{R_l} =\frac{12100}{60} \times \frac{60}{48400}=\frac{1}{4} \)
\(R_U =\frac{R_l}{4}=\frac{R}{4}\)
24.
\(\mathrm{V}=230 \mathrm{~V} \)
\(P=\frac{V^2}{R} \text { since } \mathrm{V} \text { is same } \mathrm{P} \propto \frac{1}{R} \)
\(\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{\frac{R_1}{2}}+\frac{1}{\frac{R_1}{2}}=\frac{2}{R_1}+\frac{2}{R_1}=\frac{2+2}{R_1} \)
\(\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{4}{R_1} \)
\(\therefore R_2=\frac{R_1}{4} \)
\(R_1=4 R_2 \)
\(\therefore \frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{4 R_2}{R_2}=4\)
25.
\(R \propto \frac{1}{A}, R \propto \frac{1}{r^2} \)
\(R_A \propto \frac{1}{r_A^2}, R_B \propto \frac{1}{r_B^2} \)
\(\frac{r_A}{r_B}=\left(\frac{R_B}{R_A}\right)^{1 / 2}=\left(\frac{R_B}{3 R_B}\right)^{1 / 2}=\frac{1}{3^{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
26.

27.
Yellow - 4
Violet - 7
Orange - 103
Silver - Tolerance - 10%
28.
\(P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{240 \times 240}{120}=480 \ W\)
29.
