    1. d. incorrect reading for current I as well as potential difference V.


    Explanation: Ammeter should not be shunted with voltmeter.

    2. d. IV
    Explanation: "V" has to be connected in parallel and the potential of +ve
    terminal is greater than -ve terminal.

    3. a. Student (A) will determine the equivalent resistance of the series combination
    while student (B) will determine the equivalent resistance of the parallel
    combination of the two resistors.
    Explanation: R1 and R2 has one common point in (A) and two common points

    in (B).

    4. a.
    Explanation: When a wire of resistance is bent to form a circle, the
    resistance between the two diametrically opposite points can be calculated as a
    parallel combination of two resistors of each. The effective resistance of
    the two resistors will be .

    5. c. 1-A, 2-C, 3-B, 4-D


    Explanation: An Ammeter (from Ampere Meter) is used to measure electric
    current (flow of electric charge) in an electric circuit. A Galvanometer is an
    electromechanical instrument for detecting and measuring small electric
    currents. A Battery maintains potential difference between two points in an
    electric circuit. A Rheostat is an electrical instrument used to control current in
    a circuit by varying the resistance.

    (1) Electric current (A) Ammeter

    (2) Small deflection in the circuit (C) Galvanometer

    (B) Battery
    (3) Maintains potential difference between two points
    (4) Variable Resistance (D) Rheostat

    6. A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring potential difference between two


    points in an electric circuit.

    7. The resistance of dry air is infinity.

    8. When the equivalent resistance of connecting wire is low then, wire should be
    connected in parallel combination. So equivalent resistance can be obtained by the
    given formula :

    9. When we connect rheostat, key, battery of two cells and two resistors of three ohm
    each then required circuit diagram will be:

    10. The resistance of a wire (R) depends on the following factors:


    a. Resisatnce is directly proportional to the length of the wire. (length of the
    conductor)
    b. Resistance is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of the wire.
    (area of cross - section)
    c. (temperature)
    d. R depends on the nature of material.
    11. Power = P = VI = 220 × 5 = 1,100 Ω
    Energy consumed in 2 h (2 × 60 × 60s) E = Pt
    E = (1,100) (2 × 60 × 60) = 7,920,000 J

    E = 7.92 × 106 J.

    12.

    Resistance of bulb whenV' =110 volts


    Hence answer (d) is correct.
    13. Combined resistnace of 100Ω, 50Ω and 500Ω in parallel
    i.e. Rp is given by

    Resistance of electric iron = 31.25Ω


    Current through electric iron =
    14. The power dissipated in the resistor will increase by 125 percent.
    Justification using mathematical calcuations.

    P = I2Rt
    When I is increased by 50 , I' = I.

    Hence, P' =I'2Rt=

    P' = I2Rt

    Increase in power dissipation = I2Rt - I2Rt= I2Rt


    Percentage increase =

    =
    15. Modified circuit is as shown. Since 5Ω, 8 Ω and 12 Ω are in series, therefore the total
    resistance in series.
    Rs = R1 + R2 + R3 = 5 + 8 + 12 = 25Ω

    Current through circuit I =


    Reading of ammeter = 0.24A
    = I. R.= 0.24 12
