(c) 4 (d) 6

3 Calculate the current flows through the 10 Ω resistor in the following

circuit. (a) 1.2 A (b) 0.6 A

(c) 0.2 A (d) 2.0 A

4 A student carries out an experiment and plots the V-I graph of three samples of
nichrome wire with resistances R1, R2 and R3 respectively. Which of the following is

true? (a) R1 = R2 = R3 (b) R1 > R2 > R3

(c) R3 > R2 > R1 (d) R2 > R3 > R1

5 In the following questions, the Assertion and Reason have been put forward. Read the
statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
(a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct 1
explanation of the Assertion.
(b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct
 explanation of the Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
(d) The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true. Assertion: Bending of
wire decrease the resistance of electric wire.
Reason: The resistance of a conductor depends on length, thickness, nature of material
and temperature of the conductor.
