Topic – Concepts related to electricity

Read the given statements carefully, understand the concepts involved and then answer whether the
statement is correct or incorrect. If the statement is incorrect rectify and rewrite it. If the statement is
correct then explain it in one line or by a small diagram.

1. An electric circuit is called closed when the switch connected to the circuit is in ON mode and
open when the switch is in OFF mode.

2. Ohm’s law holds true only if the temperature of the conductor remains the same.

Activity – Graph Based Worksheet

Topic – Distance – Time Graph

Two friends Aman (A) and Bimal (B) have to attend a conference in a hotel at Agra. Aman lives in Delhi
and has to travel 240 kms to reach Agra. On the other hand, Bimal lives in Ballabgarh and has to travel
200 kms to reach Agra. Aman and Bimal both start their car journey from their homes at 7:00 am and
6:00 am respectively. The distance-time graph of their entire journey is as given below. Observe the
graph and then answer the question that follow:

1. Who travels faster to reach the hotel?

____________________________________________________________________________________

2. Who covers lesser distance during the last one hour of his journey?

____________________________________________________________________________________

3. Who takes more time to reach the hotel?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

4. How many times A overtakes B during the entire journey?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

5. How many times B overtakes A during the entire journey?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

6. At what time A and B will reach the hotel?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

7. The average speed of A and B during the journey are __________ and __________ respectively.
 8. Whose average speed is greater during the first two hours of journey?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

9. Complete the table

Time during Average speed of A (in km h )

7:00 AM to 8:00 AM 40
8:00 AM to 9:00 AM
9:00 AM to 10:00 AM
10:00 AM to 11:00 AM
11:00 AM to 12:00PM
12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
1:00 PM to 2:00 PM

10. Is it correct, if the graph of distance – time graph is plotted as follows, instead of the graph
plotted earlier? Give reason for your answer.

11. VALUE BASED QUESTION
