Question 41.


For a constant resistance, the correct relation between heat produced (H) and electric current (I) flowing is:


  1.      HI 
  2.     H1I
  3.      HI2
  4.     H1I2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. ->  HI2
:
C
According to Joule's law, the heat produced in a resistor is;
(i) directly proportional to the square of current for a given resistance.
(ii) directly proportional to resistance for a given current.
(iii) directly proportional to the time for which the current flows through the resistor.
That is  H=I2×R×t
Hence  HI2 is the right relation.
Question 42.


The physical quantity that determines the rate at which energy is delivered by an electric current is ___.


  1.     potential difference
  2.     electric power
  3.     resistance
  4.     electrical resistivity
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> electric power
:
B

The physical quantity that determines the rate at which energy is delivered by an electric current is electric power. The SI unit of electric power is watt (W). 1 W electrical power is equivalent to 1 Joule of electrical energy consumed in 1 second time. It is mathematically expressed as P=Et where E is the electrical energy and t is time.


Question 43.


How much electrical energy flows through a wire in 1 second when the power is 1 kW?


  1.     1400 J
  2.     1000 J
  3.     800 J
  4.     400 J
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1000 J
:
B

We know that, Power=Energytime, the SI unit of power is watt, energy is joule and time is second.


So, 1 W = 1 joule per sec and 1 kW = 1000 joule per sec.


Therefore, 1000 J electrical energy flows through the wire in 1 second when the power is 1 kW.


Question 44.


In a Xerox machine, the black ink's toner particles are negatively charged. They strongly stick to the white A4 sheet paper and form letters and images. What charge could the A4 sheet possess for this process to happen?


  1.     Positive
  2.     Negative
  3.     Neutral
  4.     None of the above.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Positive
:
A and C
For the negative charge to stick on the paper, the paper should be either neutral or electrons deficient. The charge difference will create the force of attraction between them and hence, we see it as a black ink painted on the paper.
Question 45.


Which of the following relations represent the Ohm's law?
V=Voltage, I=Current, R=Resistance


  1.     IV=R
  2.     VI=R
  3.     V=I×R
  4.     I=R×V
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> VI=R
:
B and C
According to Ohm's law, the ratio of potential difference and current is a constant known as electrical resistance provided that physical condition such as temperature, humidity etc. is kept constant.
     VI = R (constant) where, V is a potential difference, R is electrical resistance and I is current.
     IV =  1R (constant) 
        V=IR.

Question 46.


In how much time (in seconds) should a charge of 10 C flow between the two terminals so as to maintain a constant current of 100 A?


  1.     110 seconds
  2.     10 seconds
  3.     110 seconds
  4.     1110 seconds
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 110 seconds
:
A
Current (I) is the rate of flow of charge (q) through a cross section per unit time (t).
I=qt
Given: q=10 C, I=100 A
t=qI
t=10 C100 A
t=110 s
Question 47.


Which of the following statement(s) is/are true, regarding the electrical set-up for verification of Ohm's law? 


  1.     The voltmeter is connected in parallel with the known resistance.
  2.     The ammeter is connected in series in the circuit.
  3.     The rheostat can only increase the resistance in the circuit.
  4.     There is a sliding contact on the coil which is used to change the value of resistance.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> The voltmeter is connected in parallel with the known resistance.
:
A, B, and D
In the electrical setup for verification of ohm's law, ammeter is connected in series and voltmeter is connected in parallel. The sliding contact is then moved to change the resistance of the circuit according to the which the current across the ammeter changes. The voltage during the process remains constant.
A rheostat is a device which can provide us with the variable resistance. It means it can increase or decrease the value of resistance in the circuit.

Which Of The Following Statement(s) Is/are true, Regarding ...


Question 48.


If the length of a copper wire is increased by 5% due to stretching. What will be the percentage increase in its resistance? 


  1.     12%
  2.     11.5%
  3.     20.25%
  4.     10.25%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 10.25%
:
D
Resistance, R=ρLA
where:
ρ: Resistivity,
L: Length of the wire
A:  Cross-sectional area of the wire.
The length of the copper wire is increased by 5%.
So, new length is:
L=L+5100L=1.05L
Let the new cross-sectional area be A.
On stretching the wire, its volume will remain constant.
LA=LA
A=A1.05
New resistance will become:
R=ρLA
R=ρ(1.05LA/1.05)
R=1.052R=1.1025R
Percentage increase in its resistance is,
p=RRR×100
p=(1.10251)RR×100
p=10.25 %
Question 49.


The equivalent resistance between A and B is:


The Equivalent Resistance Between A And B Is:


  1.     0.5 Ω
  2.     1 Ω
  3.     2 Ω
  4.     4 Ω
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1 Ω
:
B

Two parallel combination of resistors:
When going from A to B, the first two resistors are in parallel to each other and so are the next two. Therefore

Rparallel =  1×11+1 = 12Ω for both of them.
Now these equivalent resistors are in series with each other
Therefore, net equivalent resistance is:
R=0.5+0.5=1Ω


Question 50.


For making a strong electromagnet, the material of the core should be:


  1.     soft iron
  2.     steel
  3.     brass
  4.     copper
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> soft iron
:
A

The soft iron inside the coil makes the magnetic field stronger because it becomes a magnet itself when current is flowing through the coil.
Moreover, it loses its magnetism as soon as the current stops flowing. It forms a temporary magnet. In this way, the electromagnet can be magnetised and demagnetised by turning the electricity on and off.
