14. Kirchhoff’s rules: Junction rule, Loop rule:

Derivation:
1. Drift velocity in terms of relaxation time
2. Conductivity in terms of relaxation time
3. Eeq & req for cells in parallel
4. Derive expression for balancing a Wheatstone bridge

Reasoning:
1. Explain, with reason how the mobility of electrons in a conductor changes when the potential
difference applied is doubled keeping the temperature of the conductor constant.
2. The emf of a cell is always greater than its terminal voltage. Why?

3. How can a given potentiometer be made more sensitive?

4. Why should a potentiometer to be preferred over a voltmeter for measurement of emf of a
cell?

Graph:
1. Graph b/w Draw a graph to show the variation of resistance of a metal wire as a function
of its radius, keeping its length and temperature as constant Graph b/w E & r—straight
conductor
2. Graph b/w Plot a graph showing the variation of resistivity of a conductor with temperature
3. Plot a graph showing the variation of current 'I' versus resistance 'R', connected to a cell
of emf E and internal resistance 'r'. How can one get information from this plot about the
emf of the cell and its internal resistance?

4. Plot a graph showing variation of voltage Vs the current drawn from the cell.

5. Draw a graph showing the variation of current versus voltage in an electrolyte when an
external resistance is also connected
