    6. A large number of free electrons are present in
    metals yet no current flows in the absence of electric
    potential across it. Explain the statement with
    reason.
    A large number of free electrons are present in
    metals, yet no current flows. It is because the
    electrons move only if there is a difference of
    electric pressure - called as the potential- difference
    along the conductor. The potential difference sets
    the charges in motion in the conductor and produces
    an electric current.
    7. How much current will an electric bulb of resistance
    1100 draw from a 220 V source? If a heater of
    resistance 100 is connected to the same source
    instead of the bulb, calculate the current drawn by
    the heater.
    I= 220/1100= 0.2Amp, I= 220/100= 1.1 Amp
    8. A thick wire and a thin wire of the same material are
    successively connected to the same circuit to find
    their respective resistance. Which one will have
    lower resistance? Give reason.
    Thick wire will have lower resistance because
    resistivity is inversely proportional to the area of
    cross-section of the conductor.
    9. Mention two special features of the material to be
    used as element of an electric iron or heater?
    (a) high resistivity and (b) high melting point.
    1 An electric bulb draws a current of 0.2Amp when the
    0. voltage is 220 Volts. Calculate the amount of charge
    flowing through it in one hour?

    1 V-I graphs for two wires A
    A
    1. and B are shown in the V
    figure. If both the wires
    B
    are made of the same
    material and are of equal
    thickness, which of the
    I
    two is of more length?

    Give justification for your


    answer?
    We know that V = IR For the same current wire A
    requires more
    voltage, hence resistance of A is more than that of B
