CASE STUDY
Resistance is the opposition offered by the conductor to the flow of electric current. When two
or more resistors are connected in series then electric current through each resistor is same but
the electric potential across each resistor will be different. If R1, R2 and R3 are the resistance
connected in series then current through each resistor will be I but potential difference across
each resistor is V1, V2 and V3 respectively.
Thus, the total potential difference is equal to the sum of potential difference across each
resistor. Hence, V= V1 + V2 + V3
Again, IR = IR1 + IR2 + IR3
Thus, R = R1 + R2 + R3
Hence in case of series combination of resistors, the total resistance is the sum of resistance of
each resistor in a circuit.
Now, in case of parallel combination of resistors electric current through each resistor is
different but the potential difference across each resistor is same. If resistors R1, R2 and R3 are
connected in parallel combination then potential difference across each resistor will be V but
current through each resistor is I1, I2 and I3 respectively.
Thus, total current through the circuit is the sum of current flowing through each resistor.
I = I1 + I2 + I3
Again, V/R= V/R1 + V/R2 + V/R3
Thus, 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
Hence, in case of parallel combination of resistors, the reciprocal of total resistance is the sum
of reciprocal of each resistance connected in parallel.
Questions:
1) In which case the equivalent resistance is more and why?
2) In our home, which type of combination of electric devices is preferred? Why?
3) If n resistors of resistance R are connected in parallel then what is the equivalent resistance?

(b) To which group of periodic tables does this non-metal belong?

CASE STUDY
The metals in the middle of the activity series such as iron, zinc, lead, copper, etc., are moderately
reactive. These are usually present as sulphides or carbonates in nature. It is easier to obtain a metal
from its oxide, as compared to its sulphides and carbonates. Therefore, prior to reduction, the metal
sulphides and carbonates must be converted into metal oxides. The sulphide ores are converted into
oxides by heating strongly in the presence of excess air. This process is known as roasting. The carbonate
ores are changed into oxides by heating strongly in limited air. This process is known as calcination
