40. An electric generator has an e.m.f. of 240 V and an internal resistance of 1Ω. If the current supplied is 20A and the terminal voltage is 220V, find the ratio of the power supplied to the power dissipated.
- A. 11:1Correct
- B. 1:11
- C. 11:12
- D. 12:11
Explanation
Power generated = IV(e.m.f) = 20x240 = 4800W. Power supplied = IV(terminal) = 20x220 = 4400W. Power dissipated = 4800-4400 = 400W. Ratio supplied:dissipated = 4400:400 = 11:1.
