1. A lamp consumes 50 W and is lighted 2 h daily in month of April. How many units of electric [3]
energy is consumed ?
2. What is the current through each of the resistances in the following circuit ? [3]

3. Figure (a), (b) and (c) show three cylindrical copper conductors along with their face areas [3]
and length. Which of the conductors will have highest resistance and why?

i.

ii.

4. A heater coil is rated 100 W, 200 V. It is cut into two identical parts. Both parts are connected [3]
together in parallel to the same source of 200 V. Calculate the energy liberated per second in
the new combination.
5. An electric heater of resistance 8 Ω draws 15A from service mains for 2 hours. Calculate the [3]
rate at which heat is developed in the heater.
6. Calculate the number of electrons constituting one coulomb of charge. [3]
7. i. Distinguish between the terms electrical resistance and resistivity of conductor. [3]

ii. A copper wire of resistivity 1.63 × 10-8π − m has cross-section area of 10.3 × 10-4 cm2.

8. Derive the relation between kilowatt hour and joule. [3]
9. A current of 1 ampere flows in a series circuit containing an electric lamp and a conductor of [3]
5 Ω when connected to a 10 V battery. Calculate the resistance of the electric lamp. Now if a
resistance of 10 Ω is connected in parallel with this series combination, what change (if any) in
current flowing through 5 Ω conductor and potential difference across the lamp will take
place? Give reason.
10. Two metallic wires A and B are connected in series. Wire A has length l and radius r, while [3]
wire B has length 2l and radius 2r. Find the ratio of total resistance of series combination and
the resistance of wire A, if both the wires are of the same material?
11. Two cells of 3V each are connected in parallel. An external resistance of 0.5 Ω is connected in [3]
series to the junction of two parallel resistors of 4 Ω and 2 Ω and then to the common
