21) Three equal resistors are connected in series across a source of emf together dissipate
10 watts of power. The power would be dissipate in the same resistors when they are
connected in parallel across the same source of emf is 90 watt.
22) Four identical resistors are first connected in parallel and then in series. The resultant
resistance of the first combination to the second will be 1/16 times.
23) Twelve wire of same length and same cross-section are connected in the form of a cube.
If the resistance of each wire is R, then the effective resistance between P and Q will
be 5/6 R.
24) When P= Power, V= VoltageI = Current, R = Resistance and G= Conductance, G=P/•
is incorrect relation. (V=√"# , P=$ % G, I=&"/# are correct relations).
25) The unit of electrical conductivity is mho/ metre.
26) The ratio of the resistance of a 100 W,220V lamp to that of a 100W, 110 V lamp will
be nearly 4.
27) The resistance of 100W ,200V lamp is 400 ohm.
28) Two 1 kilo ohm, ½ W resistors are connected in series. Their combined resistance value
and wattage will be 2kΩ, 1W.
29) Wheat stone bridge method can be used for absolute measurement of resistances.
30) Three 3 ohm resistors are connected to form a triangle. the resistance between any two
of the corner is 2Ω.
31) 4 combinations may be obtained with three resistors. Each having the resistance R.
32) A wire of 0.14 mm diameter and specific resistance 9.6 μΩ - cm is 440 cm long. The
resistance of the wire will be 27.4Ω.
33) Ohm’s law is not applicable to semiconductors.
34) A metal resistor has a resistance of 10 ohms at 0°C and 11 ohms at 160°C, the
temperature coefficient would be 0.000625/C.
35) Specified resistance of a substance is measured in ohm-cm.
36) A wire of resistance R has it length and area of cross-section both doubled. Its resistance
will become R.
37) Ohms law is applicable on insulators.
38) The element of an electric heater is made of nichrome.
39) 5 × 10•• electrons pass across the section of a conductor in 1 minutes and 20 seconds.
The current is flowing 0.1mA.
