Worksheet – 1 Chapter 12 ( Electricity )

Q1. Derive the expression for Joules law of heating.

Q2. Derive a formula for equivalent resistances .Four resistance connected in series.

Q3. A 100 W electric bulb is connected to 220 V mains power supply. Calculate the strength of
the electric current passing through the bulb. If the same bulb is taken to U.S.A where the main
power supply is 110 V, how much electric current will pass through the bulb when connected to
mains?

Q4. A tube light draws 0.1 A current from a 220 V supply. What current will this tube light
draw when it is connected to a 110 V supply?

Q5. How is an ammeter connected in a circuit to measure current flowing through it?

Q6. When a battery is connected to a closed circuit, charge flow in the circuit almost
instantaneously. Explain.

Q7. When two ends of a metallic wire are connected across the terminals of a cell, some
potential difference is set up between its ends. In which direction, electrons are flowing through
the conductors?

Q8. Electric current flows through a metallic conductor from its one end A to other end B.
Which end of the conductor is at higher potential? Why?

Q9. Work done in moving 5 C charge across the ends of a conductor is 100 J. If thepotential at
the one end of the conductor is 10V, find the potential at the other
