Question 11. In a closed circuit, electrons flow from negative to positive terminal of a cell.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    the circuit is complete
  4.    the circuit is incomplete
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Electric current is a flow of charges. We know current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of a cell. The direction of flow of current is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. Hence, in a closed circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a cell.
Question 12. Metal cap of an electric cell is the __________terminal of the cell.
  1.    random
  2.    negative
  3.    neutral
  4.    positive
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> positive
:
D
Electric cell is a device which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. All electric cells have two terminals.Metal cap on an electric cell is considered as thepositive terminal of the cell whereas metal disc of an electric cell is considered as the negative terminal of the cell.
Metal Cap Of An Electric Cell Is The __________terminal Of T...
Question 13. An electric bulb only glows when the circuit is closed.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Bulb would fuse.
  4.    Brightness of the bulb would increase.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Electric current can only flow when there is a closed path. The flow of electrons through the filament of a bulb generates heat and light. Hence, an electric bulb glows only when the circuit is closed.
Question 14. It is not wise to connect the two terminals of a battery directly without connecting it through a bulb or switch.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.     plastic
  4.    rubber
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The two terminals of the battery should not be connected to each other without connecting it through a bulb or switch because the chemicals in the cell gets used up very fast and the cell stops working in a short period of time.
Question 15. Internal parts of switches, electrical plugs, and sockets are made up of_________.
  1.    copper
  2.     glass
  3.     plastic
  4.    rubber
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> copper
:
A
Switches are devices used to make or break the electric circuit. Sockets are devices which allows the electric equipmentto get connected to the power sources. Electric plugs are present in the electric equipments such that it can be connected to the sockets to complete the circuit. Internal parts ofswitches, electrical plugs, and sockets are made up of conductors, such as copper,to allowelectricity to pass through them.
Question 16. Six resistors each of resistance R are connected as shown in figure. What is the effective resistance between points A and B? 
Six Resistors Each Of Resistance R Are Connected As Shown In...
  1.    R3
  2.    R  
  3.    3R 
  4.    6R
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> R3
:
A
Resistance R,(R+R)=2R,(R+R)=2R and R are in parallel
Hence effective resistance is given by
1Reff=1R+12R+12R+1R
which gives Reff=R3
Question 17. In the electrical circuit shown in figure the current through the galvanometer will be zero if the value of resistance x is In The Electrical Circuit Shown In Figure The Current Throug...
  1.    4 ohm
  2.    8 ohm
  3.    16 ohm
  4.    24 ohm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 24 ohm
:
D
The given circuit is Wheatstone's bridge.The current through the galvanometer will be zero if the bridge is balanced
PQ+RS where P = 2+3 =5ohm, Q = 10ohm and R=4ohm
The value of S is given by
510=4S
or S= 8 ohm
thus the effective resistance of the parallel combination of 12 ohm and x ohm must be 8 ohm
therefore
112+1x=18
which gives x = 24ohm
Question 18. In the given circuit with steady current the potential drop across the capacitor must be In The Given Circuit With Steady Current The Potential Drop ...
  1.    V
  2.    V2
  3.    V3
  4.    2V3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> V3
:
C
In The Given Circuit With Steady Current The Potential Drop ...
In the steady state no current flows in the branch containing the capacitor .Thus the current say l flows in the branches containing R and 2R. Applying Kirchoff's second rule to the loop abcdefa
2V-I(2R)-IR-V=0
l=V3R
Potential drop across capacitor =2V-V-l(2R)=Vv3R×2R
=V2v3=v3
Question 19. Which of the circuits shown in figure can be used to verify Ohm’s law? 
Which Of The Circuits Shown In Figure Can Be Used To Verify ...
  1.    a
  2.    b
  3.    c
  4.    d
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> a
:
A
The voltmeter must be connected in parallel with the resistor and the ammeter must be connected in series with the resistor
Question 20. The balancing length for a cell is 560 cm in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of 10 ohm is connected in parallel to the cell the balancing length changes by 60 cm. The internal resistance of the cell in ohms is
  1.    1.6 
  2.    1.4
  3.    1.2
  4.    0.12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1.2
:
C
rR=l1l2l2
here R=10 ohm
l1 = 560cm
l2 =560-60=500cm
r=R×(l1l2l2)
=10×(560500500)
=1.2ohm
