ASSIGNMENT
1. A 3 Ω light bulb and a 6 Ω light bulb are connected in series, and then hooked up to a battery.
Which one of the two will shine the brightest, and by how much?

3 6

2. The same light bulbs from part 1 are now connected in parallel to a battery.
Which one of the two will now shine the brightest?
3

6

3. Calculate the number of electrons that would flow per second through the cross-section of a
wire when 1 A current flows in it.
4. List in a tabular form two differences between a voltmeter and an ammeter.
5. Given below is a circuit showing current flowing in it. Identify each component A, B, C, D of this
circuit.

6. How much current will an electric bulb of resistance 1100  draw from a 220 V source? If a
heater of resistance 100  is connected to the same source instead of the bulb, calculate the
current drawn by the heater.
7. (a) Resistivity of iron is 10  10-8 m and of mercury is 94  10-8 m. Which among iron and
mercury is a better conductor? Give reason.
(b) Resistivity of a material A is in the range of 10 10 1014 m while that of B is in the range of
10-6 10-8 m. Which of the two will behave as an insulator and why?

8. Find the resistance of bulb rated as 100 W-250 V.
9. The V-I graph for series and parallel combination of two metallic
resistors is as shown in the figure. Which graph represents parallel
combination? Justify your answer.

10. Out of the following bulbs rated 40 W, 220 V, 60 W, 220 V and 100 W, 220 V which one will
glow the brightest when connected in series to a supply of 220V?Why? Also, explain if the
result will differ in parallel combination.
11. An electric bulb draws a current of 0.2 A when the voltage is 220 volts. Calculate the amount of
charge flowing through it in one hour.
