JEE Main 2025 — 3 April, Evening Shift — Question 61

A motor operating on 100 V draws a current of 1 A . If the efficiency of the motor is 91.6%91.6 \%, then the loss of power in units of cal/s is

  1. Option A:

    4

  2. Option B:

    6.2

  3. Option C:

    8.4

  4. Option D:

    2

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

P0=100×1=100 WP_{0}=100 \times 1=100 \mathrm{~W}

Loss =(1−η)p0=8.4100×100=8.4 J=(1-\eta) p_{0}=\frac{8.4}{100} \times 100=8.4 \mathrm{~J}

Loss =8.44.2cal=2=\frac{8.4}{4.2} \mathrm{cal}=2
