1. Why does resistance of a metallic conductor increase with increase in temperature?
Answer:
When a metallic conductor is heated, the atoms in the metal vibrate with greater amplitude and frequency. Due to increase in temperature, the thermal velocities of free electrons also increases. Therefore, the number of collisions between free electrons and atoms increases. This increases the opposition to the movement of electrons and hence the resistance of the conductor.
 
2. Why is it not advisable to handle high voltage electrical circuit with wet hands?
Answer:
The resistance of dry-skin human body is about 50,000 Ω. When the skin is wet, the resistance gets lowered to about 10,000 Ω. If a person with wet hands touches the electrical circuit, high current will flow through the body causing risk of life.

4. Prove that the power of an electric bulb is invensly proportional to its resis tance.
Answer:
Electric Power: It is defined as the amount of electric energy consumed in a circuit per unit time.

 
5. Heat is generated continuously in an electric heater but the temperature of its element becomes constant after some time. Why?
Answer:
When the temperature of the heater becomes greater than the temperature of the surrounding, some of the heat is lost to the surroundings in the form of thermal radiations.
After some time, rate at which heat is being produced becomes equal to the rate at which heat is lost. Hence, the temperature of the element becomes constant.
 

6. Two wires of equal length, one of copper and the other of manganin (an alloy) have the same thickness. Which one can be used for
(i) electrical transmission lines
(ii) electrical heating devices? Why?
Answer:

(i) Copper wire can be used for electrical transmission lines because copper has very low resistivity and hence it is very good conductor of electricity.
(ii) Manganin can be used for electrical heating devices because the resistivity of manganin is about 25 times more than that of copper and hence it produces a lot of heat on passage of current through it.
 
7. What is electrical resistivity ? In a series electrical circuit comprising of a resistor having a metallic wire, the ammeter’ reads 5A. The reading of the ammeter decreases to half when the length of the wire is doubled. Why?
Answer:
The resistivity of a material is defined as the resistance of a conductor made of that material of unit length and unit cross-sectional area.
Using, R = ρ lA Also, V = RI
R is doubled while V remains unchanged. Hence, current becomes half.
 
8. How does use of a fuse wire protect electrical appliances?
Answer:
If a current larger than a specified value flows in a circuit, temperature of fuse wire increase its melting point. The fuse wire melts and the circuit breaks.
 
9. Why does an electric bulb become dim when an electric heater in parallel circuit is switched on? Why does dimness decrease after some time?
Answer:
The resistance of a heater coil is less than that of electric bulb filament. When heater is switched on in parallel, more current start flowing through the heater coil and current through the bulb filament decreases making it dim.
After some time, when heater coil becomes hot its resistance increases. As a result, current through the heater coil decreases and the current through the bulb filament increases and thus dimness of the bulb decreases.
 
10. A metallic wire of resistance R is cut into ten parts of equal length. Two pieces each are joined in series and then five such combinations are joined in parallel.

Answer:
he resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. The resistance of the metallic wire, when it is cut into ten parts of equal length is
r = R10
Two such pieces when joined in series, the equivalent resistance of these two parts

The potential difference across a conductor is measured by means of an instrument called voltmeter.
(ii) The electric power P is given by P = I2R
The resistance of the heating element very high. Large amount of heat generates in the heating element and it glows hot. The resistance of connecting cord is very low. Thus, negligible heat generates in the connecting cord and it does not glow.

(b) Nichrome should be used in electrical heating devices due to very high resitivity.
 
2. Draw circuit diagrams to show how (i) flow of current and (ii) potential difference in a conductor is measured. Name apparatus used in it.
Answer:
Measurement of Electric Current. Unit of current is ampere and instrument used for measuring current is called Ampere meter or simply Ammeter.
 

It is a modified galvanometer having a low resistance connected in parallel to it. A moving coil galvanometer consists of a rectangular coil of wire of many turns, wound on a non-magnetic metallic light frame and is suspended between two strong permanent concave shaped magnetic poles. When current is allowed to pass through it a torque acts on the coil which deflects the coil. The deflection of the coil is directly propor-tional to the current flowing in the coil. The deflection of the coil is directly read on the scale with the help of a pointer attached with the coil. The scale is graduated in ampere or milliampere.

To measure the current in a circuit, ammeter is connected in series in the circuit. It should be noted that positive terminal of the ammeter is connected with the positive terminal of the cell and negative terminal of the ammeter is connected with negative terminal of the cell.
If more than one conductors are connected in parallel in the circuit, then ammeter should be connected with that conductor in which current is to be measured. For example, for measuring current in the conductor Y, ammeter A is connected in series with the conductor Y (Fig.)

Measurement of Potential Difference. Unit of potential difference is volt and instrument used for measuring potential difference is called voltmeter. It is a modified galvanometer with high resistance connected in series with it. Its circular scale is graduated in Volts.
Voltmeter is connected in parallel to the conductor across which potential differenece is to be measured.
In the fig., different conductors P, Q and Rare placed in the circuit. It shows the arrangement of voltmeter V to measure the potential difference, across conductor R and arrangement of ammeter A to measure current in the conductor P.
While connecting voltmeter in the circuit, positive terminal to the voltmeter should be connected to the positive terminal of the cell and negative with the negative of the cell.
  


3. Explain electromotive force of a cell and write necessary formula for it. What is the function of electric cell in an electric circuit?
Answer:
An electric cell is a device in which a constant difference in potential is maintained between the two conductors by a chemical reaction.
Electromotive force. Cell converts chemical energy to electrical energy which makes charges to move. Work done by a cell in moving unit charge around the circuit is called electromotive force of the cell.
If W work is done in taking a test charge go around the complete circuit of the cell, then e.m.f. of the cell is
E = Wq0
It is measured in volt. An electric cell is used as a source of electric current.
 
4. Give reasons of the following:
(a) Metals are good electric con-ductors.
(b) Glass is non-conductor.
(c) To measure the current in a circuit ammeter is connected in series in the circuit.
Answer:

 

(a) We know that all metallic substances have free electrons, which keep moving within the substance randomly in all possible directions. These free electrons are distributed uniformly all over the body and move randomly and hence, there is no net transfer to charge. But these free electrons can move through the metal, or can be transferred from one part to other under the action of Electron an electric force. This movement of electrons from one part to the other constitute an electric current.
(b) In glass charges are not free to move i.e., electric current cannot flow. So glass is non-conductor or insulator.
(c) To measure the current in a circuit, ammeter is connected in series so the complete current of the circuit will pass through ammeter.
 
5. Explain electric potential difference and derive its unit.
Answer:
Potential Difference. If we have to lift a mass, we have to do some work for it. In the same way, to move a charge from one point to other some work has to be done. This work is measurement of the difference in electric potential energy of the two points.
“The work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to the other against the electrical force measures potential difference between two points.
If Q coulomb charge is shifted from one point to other and W joule work is done, then
 

The potential (or electrostatic potential) at any point is defined as the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point. Potential is generally denoted by the letter ‘V’ and its S.I. unit is ‘Volt’.
When 1 Joule of work is done in bringing 1 Coulomb positive charge from infinity to a point, potential at that point is 1 volt. Potential is a scalar quantity.
S.I. unit of potential difference is also ‘Volt’.
If W = 1 Joule, and Q = 1 Coulomb, then
V = 1 Volt.
The potential difference between two points is said to be 1 Volt if 1 joule of work is done in moving 1 Coulomb of charge from one point to another.

7. Write Ohm’s law and describe the necessary experiment for its verification.
Answer:
Ohm’s law. The physical conditions of a conductor remaining the same, the current flowing through the conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference between the ends of the con-ductor.
V = iR.
Verification of Ohm’s Law. Ohm’s law can be experimentally verified with the help of the electrical circuit shown in the diagram.
 

AB represents a resistor or a piece of wire of resistance R. The following connections are made: .
(i) A voltmeter V is connected across (in parallel) the resistance R. It measures the potential difference across the resistance.
(ii) An ammeter or milli-ammeter (mA) is connected in series with the resistance. Therefore, the current pass-ing through the ammeter also passes through the resistance R
(iii) A rheostat is connected in series to change the resistance of the circuit so as to change the current in the circuit. To start the experiment, the key K is inserted so that a current begins to flow. This current is measured by the amme-ter. Initially, the rheostat is adjusted so that a small current flows. The reading of the ammeter gives the current flowing through the resistance and the voltmeter reading gives the potential difference across the resistance.
By adjusting the rheostat, the current is increased gradually and for each current value, the corresponding voltme-ter reading is noted. The ratio of potential difference to the current (V/i) is found for each reading and is found to be a constant. This also implies that the current is directly proportional to the potential difference. This verifies Ohm’s law experimentally.
 

8. Write the Precautions in the Use of Electricity.
Answer:
Precautions in the Use of Electricity. The following precautions must be taken in the use of electricity:
(1) The circuit must be immediately switched off in case of fire or any other accident. This will prevent the fire from spreading.
(2) The person who happens to touch the live electric wire should be provided with an insulated support of wood, plastic or rubber. We should never try to pull away the person who is in contact with the live wire, otherwise we will also get a shock.
(3) All connections at switches, plugs and sockets and junctions must be tight. All wiring. should be of good quality, proper thickness, and standard insulation. Defective switches should be replaced immediately. All joints should be covered properly with appropriate insulating tape.
(4) The fuse should be of proper rating and material. Often connecting wires are used as fuses. This is a dangerous practice. Such wire has too high rating and will not protect you against a short circuit or overload.
(5) Whenever repairs are needed or any part of the circuit needs direct handling of any kind, rubber gloves and shoes must be used. The testers, screw drivers, pliers and other tools used for repairing, should have proper insulation.

Now if a resistance of 10 Ω is connected in parallel with this series combination, what change (if any) in current flowing through 5 Ω conductor and potential difference across the lamp will take place? Give reason.
Answer:

 

(i) Let the resistance of the lamp = R1
512 Resistance of conductor = R2 = 5 Ω
Total resistance in series, Rs = R1 + R2 = R1 + 5
Current I = 1A, Voltage, V = 10 V
Using Ohm’s Law, V = IR
10 = 1(R1 + 5)
⇒ R1 = 5Ω
(ii) Now, a resistance of 10 Ω is connected in parallel with the series combination. Therefore, the total resistance of the circuit is given by
 

Thus, 1 A current will flow through 10 Ω resistor and 1 A will flow through the lamp and conductor of 5 Ω resistance. Hence, there will be no change in current flowing through 5 Ω conductor. Also, there will be no change in potential difference across the lamp.

Now, same resistances are in series
Rs = R1 + R2
Given, Rs = 9 ohm
9 = R1 + R2 …..(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
R1 R2 = 18

R2 = 9 – R1
