How many kJ of energy is spent when a current of 4 amp passes for 200 second under a potential of 115 V?
Correct answer: D. 92 kJ
- A. 52 kJ
- B. 72 kJ
- C. 82 kJ
- D. 92 kJ
Explanation
To calculate the energy spent, use the formula for electrical energy: Energy (in joules) = Voltage (V) × Current (I) × Time (t). Here, the voltage is 115 V, the current is 4 A, and the time is 200 s. Therefore, Energy = 115 V × 4 A × 200 s = 92000 J. To convert joules to kilojoules, divide by 1000, resulting in 92 kJ. Thus, Option D is correct. The other options are incorrect because they either underestimate or overestimate the energy due to incorrect calculations.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
