Section - C
This section consists of 6 multiple choice questions with an overall choice to attempt any 5. In case more
than desirable number of questions are attempted, ONLY first 5 will be considered for evaluation.
A more powerful vehicle would complete a journey in a shorter time than a less powerful one. The speed
with which these vehicles change the energy or do work is a basis for their time to complete the
journey. Power measures the speed of work done, that is, how fast or slow work is done. The power of an
agent may vary with time. This means that the agent may be doing work at different rates at different intervals
of time. If this machine is used continuously for one hour, it will consume 1 kW h of energy. Thus, 1 kW h is
the energy used in one hour at the rate of 1000 J s-1s-1. The energy used in households, industries, and
commercial establishments are usually expressed in kilowatt-hour.
