Ans: The rate of flow of electric charges through any cross-sectional area is known as the
electric current.
Ans: The current due to the flow of positive charge carries, equivalent to negative but
opposite to the direction is called conventional current.
Ans: The amount of energy supplied by the battery in pushing one coulomb of charge
(electron) from its positive terminal to the negative terminal through the battery is known
as the Electro-Motive Force (emf).
Ans: Thus potential difference between two points can be defined as the energy supplied by
a unit charge as it moves from one point to the other in an electric field.
Ans: The value of current ‘I’ passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the
potential difference ‘V’ applied across its ends, providing the temperature and the physical
state of the conductor does not change.
Ans: Ohm’s law is applicable only in case of metallic conductors when their temperature and
physical state does not change.
Ans: The materials which obey Ohm’s law are called Ohmic conductors, while the materials
which do not obey Ohm’s law are called non-Ohmic materials.
Ans: The Property of a substance which opposes the flow of current through it is called its
resistance.
Ans: The unit of resistance is Ohm. Ohm is usually represented by Greek letter . And it is
defined as “ if one ampere current passes through a conductor when a potential difference
of one volt is applied across its ends then the resistance of that is one ampere”.
XIV. What will be value of resistance if 5A current flows between potential differences of
20V?
=20/5
=4
Ans: The specific resistance of a material depends upon the following factors
Ans: if the area of cross-section and the length of the conductor are equal to one then the
specific resistance of that conductor is equal to its resistance.
Ans: The unit of specific heat is ohm meter, which could be defined as if a conductor of one
meter having a resistance of one coulomb then its specific resistance is one ohm-meter.
Ans: Due the increase in temperature the resistance of every material increases and
resistance will decrease due to the decrease in temperature so we can also state that the
temperature affects the resistance directly.
XX. Write the relation to represent the effect of temperature upon resistance?
Ans: R-R = R x t
XXVII. Write the equation of equivalent resistance for a series combination of resistances?
XXVIII. Write the equation of equivalent resistance for a parallel combination of resistances?
Q#4: (a) express the relation between resistance and the specific resistance.
(b) Explain the effect of temperature upon resistance and express in an equation.
Q#6: Write a note on Galvanometer and explain the method to convert it into an ammeter and
voltmeter?
Q#7: (a) state joule’s law and express the relation of energy?
Q#8: (a) what is the advantage of earth wire and that of fuse?
