Q.4. If two identical heaters, each rated as 1000 W – 220 V; are connected in parallel to 220 V, then the total power consumed is

(a) 200 W (b) 2500 W
(c) 250 W (d) 2000 W

Answer
(d): In parallel combination , Pp = P1 + P2 = 1000 W + 1000 W = 2000 W

Q.5. Electrical resistivity of a given metallic wire depends upon

(a) its length
(b) its thickness
(c) its shape
(d) nature of the material.

Answer
(d): Resistivity of a material is independent of the length, thickness and shape

Q.6. When the temperature of a metallic conductor is increased its resistance

(a) decreases (b) increases
(c) may increase or decrease
(d) remains the same.

Answer
(b)

Q.7. Four resistors of value 4 Ω are connected as shown in the figure. The equivalent resistance between the points A and B is:

question 7

(a) 3 Ω
(b) 4 Ω
(c) 6 Ω
(d) 1 Ω

Answer
(a): Here three of the 4 W resistors are connected in series. Therefore, their net resistance = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 W This combination of resistors are connected parallel to the fourth resistor.
Therefore, equivalent resistance (R) is
Answer 7

Q.8. Three voltmeters all having different resistance are joined as shown. When some potential difference is applied across A and B, then readings in voltmeter are V1, V2 and V3

question 8

(a) V1 = V2 (b) V1 < V2
(c) V1 + V2 = V3 (d) V1 + V2 > V3

Answer
(c): The combination of voltmeters V1 and V2 is connected in parallel with voltmeter V3. So option (c) is correct.

Q.9. If p is the heat dissipated per second by a resistor maintained at a constant temperature and q is the potential difference across the resistor, then p is proportional toSelect the incorrect statement stated below related to concave mirror.

(a) q
(b) q2
(c) √q
(d) 1/q

Answer
(b): As we know, H = V2 /R t, so, here, p ∝ q2

Q.10. Which of the following graphs represents an ohmic resistance?

Answer 10

Answer
(c): The V-I graph of an ohmic resistance will always be a straight line starting from origin.
