Where;
I = Current required
Vb = Voltage Source
R = Resistance

Experiment No 2. Conversion of electric energy to sound energy
Objective: Calculate the Luminous flux generated by a bulb for a given amount of electrical
power consumed
Theory:
The luminous flux ΦV in lumens (lm) is equal to the power P in watts (W), times the
luminous efficacy η in lumens per watt (lm/W):
ΦV(lumens) = P(W) × η(lumens/W)
Further, for a Bulb having a resistance 360 ohm draws a current of 1/3 ampere, from an
electric supply of 120V; will have a wattage following the ohms law, i.e.;

Η = 0.75
Results: The amount of luminous flux calculated by the simulation Matlab function for a
Bulb is X lumens
Experiment No 3. Computing the mechanical force generated by a Hand
Blender when a given electrical energy is applied
Objective: To compute the rotational speed generated by a hand blender for a given electric
supply
Theory:
Where:
V = applied voltage
I = current
R = resistance
L = inductance
E = back-EMF
The voltage equation can be simplified by assuming that the current is constant, in which
case inductance can be disregarded:
The back-EMF (electromotive force) is a voltage that is generated by the rotation of the coil.
It opposes the applied voltage, reducing the voltage flowing through the motor. Back-EMF is
calculated as:
Where:
The current, I, through the motor coil is directly related to the motor’s torque:
Where:
T = torque
kT = torque constant, inherent to the motor
Substituting for I, the voltage equation now becomes:
This shows the direct relationship between the applied voltage and the motor’s angular
velocity. Rearranging to solve for the angular velocity:
For DC motors, the torque and electrical constants, kT and kE, are equal, so the angular
velocity equation can be simplified to:
From this we can see that the motor’s maximum speed occurs when there’s no load (torque)
on the motor.
Given Data:
V= 230 V
KT= KE= 0.7
I= 50 Ampere
Results: The rotational speed of a hand blender has been calculated by the simulation Matlab
function as X radian/sec.
Experiment No 4. Calculate the Heat Produced by household equipment by
consuming a given Electric Supply
Objective: To compute the thermal energy produced by an immersion heater, electric stove
and three 100 watt lamps for given electric supply
A consumer uses a 6 kW immersion heater, a 4 kW electric stove and three 100 watt lamps
for 10 hours. How many units (kWh) of electrical energy have been converted to heat or
thermal Energy?
Total Energy consumed in electrical terms = Power in watts x time in hours = kilowatt hours
Electrical supply authorities use the kWh as the unit for measuring electrical energy to
householders.
Further the heat or thermal energy is measured in terms of joule or the rate of heat transferred
is Watt (i.e. Joules/sec).
To measure heat, we have to measure the temperature of a body before heating (T1) and after
heating (T2)
Again; Q=mcΔT Q = mc Δ T,
Results: The amount of heat generated by immersion heater, immersion stove and bulbs have
been calculated by the simulation Matlab function through calculation of final temperature,
i.e. T2 of the respective equipment
