A current of 2A flows through a 2Ω resistor

when connected across a battery. The same

battery supplies a current of 0.5 A when

connected across a 9Ω resistor. The internal

resistance of the battery is

Explanation

 

current i= ER+r

           2=E2+r                  ...(i)  

         0.5=E9+r                 ...(ii)

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), We have

               20.5=9+r2+r    4=9+r2+r3r=1r=13Ω

Which one of the following bonds produces a solid that reflects light in the visible region and whose electrical conductivity decreases with temperature and has high melting point?

Explanation

Metallic bonding is formed due to attraction of valence (free) electrons with the positive ion cores.Their conductivity decreases with rise of temperature.When visible light falls on a metallic crystal, the electrons of atom absorb visible light, so they are opaque to visible light.However, some orbital state.They then return to their normal state, remitting light of same frequency.

Explanation

 Kirchhoff's first law follows from the conservation of charge.

 Kirchhoff's second law follow from the conservation of energy.

A student measures the terminal potential difference (V) of a cell (of emf ε and internal resistance r) as a function of the current (I) flowing through it. The slope and intercept of the graph between V and I, then respectively, equal :

Explanation

According to Ohm's law

          dVdI=-r

and V=ε if I=0                  As V+Ir=ε

 Slope of the graph=-r and intercept=ε

 

A wire of a certain material is streched slowly by ten per cent. Its new resistance and specific resistance become respectively

Explanation

 

Key Idea: In streching, specific resistance remains unchanged.  After streching,  specific resistance(ρ) will remain same. original resistance of the wire, 

             R=plA

or   RlA or Rl2V  (as V=Al)

and R'l+10%l2V

Therefore,R'R=l+10100l2l2

or  R'R=11l210l2=121100

or R'=1.21 R

An electric kettle takes 4 A current at 220 V. How much time will it take to boil 1 kg of water from temperature 20°C? The temperature of boiling water is 100°C

Explanation

Heat evovled due to Joule's effect is used up in boiling water. 

    VIt=mst

or    t=msVtVI

putting under given values 

I=4 A, V=220 volt, m= 1 kg 

t=100-20°C,s=4200J/kg°C t=1×4200×80220×4=6.3 min

A cell can be balanced against 110cm and 100 cm of potentiometer wire, respectively with and without being short-circuited through a resistance of 10 Ω. Its internal resistance is 

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

 

This problem is based on the application of potentiometer in which we find the internal resistance of a cell. In potentiometer experiment in which we find internal resistance of a cell, let E be the emf of the cell and V the terminal potential difference, then EV=l1l2   

where l1 and l2 are lengths of potentiometer wire with and without short circuited through a resistance. 

since, EV=R+rRE=IR+rand V=IR   R+rR=I2I2or     1+rR=110100or       rR=110100-1or        r=110×10=1Ω

Two similar headlight lamps are connected in parallel to each other. Together, they consume 48 W from a 6 V battery. What is the resistance of each filament?

Explanation

The power consumed by each lamp is 24 W.

Hence, using R = (V2/P), we find R = (36/24) = 1.5 Ω.

Two electric bulbs, rated for the same voltage, have powers of 200 W and 100 W, respectively. If their resistances are r1 and r2, respectively then :
