8 1 Which of the following shows the correct values of V1, V2 and V3
You are given four ammeters A, B, C and D having least counts measured in volts?
mentioned below:
(a) V1 =1, V2 = 2 and V3 = 3
(I) Ammeter A with least count 0.25 A
(b) V1 =5, V2 = 10 and V3 = 15
(II) Ammeter B with least count 0.5 A
(c) V1 =5, V2 = 2.5 and V3 = 1.6
(III) Ammeter C with least count 0.05 A
(d) V1 =4, V2 = 3 and V3 = 2
(IV) Ammeter D with least count 0.1 A 11 Based on the two statements, assertion and reason, students are to 1
make a choice from the four options which are:
Which of the ammeters would you prefer for doing an experiment to
determine the equivalent resistance of two resistances most Option A: if both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the
accurately, when connected in parallel? correct explanation of Assertion.

(a) Ammeter A
 Option B: if Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the
correct explanation of Assertion. 16 Write factors on which resistance depends? 2

Option C: if only Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Option D: if Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Assertion(A): When resistances are connected between the same two
points they are said to be in series.
Reason(R): When resistors are connected in series the current through
each resistor is the same.
12 Assertion (A): Bending a wire does not affect electrical resistance.
Reason (R): Resistance of a wire is proportional to resistivity of
material.
13 Assertion(A) : A ray of light travelling from a rarer medium to a denser
medium slows down and bends away from the normal. When it travels
from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it speeds up and bends
towards the normal.
Reason (R): The speed of light is higher in a rarer medium than a
denser medium.
14 Assertion(A): The refractive index of a medium is inversely
proportional to the speed of light in that medium.
Reason(R): The refractive index is a measure of how much a medium
slows down the speed of light, so a higher refractive index corresponds
to a slower speed of light.
17 The image of an object formed by a mirror is real, inverted and is of 2
magnification -1. If the image is at a distance of 40 cm from the mirror,
where is the object placed? Where would the image be if the object is
moved 20 cm towards the mirror?
