Question 51.


Five resistors are connected in circuit as shown with a 3 V battery. Find the ammeter reading.


Five Resistors Are Connected In Circuit As Shown With A 3 V...


  1.     1 A
  2.     2 A
  3.     3 A
  4.     4 A

Answer: Option A. -> 1 A
:
A
Given,
Resistance values,
R1=R2=R3=3 Ω
R4=R5=0.5 Ω
Here the resistances R1 and R2 are in series. Let the equivalent resistance of this combination be R12.
R12=R1+R2
R12=3+3=6 Ω
Now R12 and R3 are in parallel.
Let the equivalent resistance of this combination be R123.
1R123=1R12+1R3
1R123=16+13
R123=2 Ω
Now, R4, R123 and R5 are in series.
Let the equivalent resistance of this combination be R.
R=R4+R123+R5
R=0.5+2+0.5 Ω
R=3 Ω
Using Ohms law,
I=VR
I=3 V3 Ω=1 A
Question 52.


The device which can directly measure the electric potential difference between two points is / are:


  1.     Voltmeter
  2.     Ammeter
  3.     Galvanometer
  4.     Multimeter
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Voltmeter
:
A and D
A voltmeter can measure the electric potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure the potential difference between two points.
A multimeter is a device which can measure potential difference, DC voltage, AC voltage, current and resistance of a conductor. Hence voltmeter and multimeter can be used to measure the electric potential difference between two points.
Ammeter and Galvanometer is used to measure current in the circuit.
Question 53.


With the increase in temperature, the resistance of a pure metal ____.


  1.     increases
  2.     decreases
  3.     does not change
  4.     first increases and then decreases
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> increases
:
A

With the increase in temperature, the random motion of electrons increases. As a result, the number of collisions of electrons with the positive ions increases in a metal. Hence, the resistance of a metal increases with increase in temperature. 


Question 54. Substances that have constant resistance over a wide range of voltages are
  1.    ohmic
  2.    non ohmic
  3.    resistive
  4.    non resistive
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ohmic

Question 56. As compare to short wires, long wires have
  1.    more resistance
  2.    no resistance
  3.    less resistance
  4.    same resistance
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> more resistance

Question 58. As per Ohm's law, V (potential difference) is equal to
  1.    I(current)×R(resistance of the conductors)
  2.    I(current)/R(resistance of the conductors)
  3.    R(resistance of the conductors)/I(current)
  4.    I(current) + R(resistance of the conductors)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> I(current)×R(resistance of the conductors)
