Item 1

Type your final answer in the space provided before the number.

C 1) A positive electric charge of 3 Coulombs is to be added to the combination of 6.25x1018 e− and

3.125x1019 p+. What will be the net charge? Answer in whole number form.

C 2) A certain battery with potential difference of 2 Volts can deliver 10 Joules of energy, determine
the amount of charge in Coulombs. Answer in whole number form.

C 3) The current in an electric lamp is 5 Amperes. What quantity of electricity flows towards the
filament in 6 minutes? (Note: 1 Amp = 1 Coulomb/second) Answer in whole number form.

ohms 4) Calculate the resistance of 100m length of a wire having a cross-sectional area of 0.1mm2 if the
wire is made of manganin having a resistivity of 50x10−8 Ω.m. Answer in whole number form.

times 5) If the wire is drawn out to three times its original length in problem 4, by how many times
would you expect its resistance to increased? Put only the numerical value and whole number form.

ohms 6) A cube of a material of side 1cm has a resistance of 0.001Ω between its opposite faces. If the
same volume of the material has a length of 8cm and a uniform cross-sectional area, what will be the
resistance of this length? Use three decimal places.

/ºC 7) It is found that the resistance of a coil of wire increases from 40 ohms at 15 degrees Celsius to
50 ohms at 60 degrees Celsius. Calculate the resistance temperature coefficient at 0 degree Celsius of
the conducting material. Use six decimal places.

ohms 8) A tungsten lamp filament has a temperature of 2050 degrees Celsius and a resistance of 500
ohms when taking normal working current. Calculate the resistance of the filament when it has a
temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. RTC at 0 degree Celsius is 0.005/ºC. Use four decimal places.
 Amp 9) An armature has a resistance of 0.2 ohm at 15 degrees Celsius and the armature copper loss is
to be limited to 600 watts with a temperature rise of 55 degrees Celsius. If RTC at 0 degree Celsius is
0.0043/ºC, what is the maximum current that can pass through the armature? Use four decimal places.

mega-ohms 10) A single-core underground cable has a copper conductor of diameter 1.2cm and
resistivity of 5.8x1012Ω.m; a sheath of internal diameter of 2.0cm, calculate the insulation resistance of
a 5-km length of this cable. Use four decimal places.
