CHAPTER – 1 (ELECTRICITY)

Short Answer Type Questions : 

Question. What is electrical resistivity of a material? What is its unit? Describe an experiment to study the factors on which the resistance of conducting wire depends.
Answer : Resistivity quantifies the property of a conducting material due to which it opposes the flow of current. Electrical resistivity is also known as resistivity, specific electrical resistance, or volume resistivity.
The the SI unit of resistivity is Ωm.
CBSE Class 10 Physics Electricity Worksheet Set D_1
Take an ammeter, a cell, plug key, nichrome wire, wires of other metals, etc. Complete the circuit; as shown in the diagram.
Use nichrome wire of a particular length in the first case. Replace this with a nichrome wire of different length. Repeat the step with a third nichrome wire of different thickness. Finally, use a copper wire instead of nichrome wire.
Now replace the wire by a thicker nichrome wire, of the same length l [marked (3)]. A thicker wire has a larger cross-sectional area. Again note down the current through the circuit.
It is observed that resistance varies when the conducting material is changed. Resistance of the nichrome wire increases when its length is increased. Resistance of nichrome wire decreases when its thickness, i.e. area of cross-section is increased.
It can be said that resistance depends on the material, length and thickness of the conducting wire.

Question. A child has drawn the electric circuit to study ohm’s law as shown in following figure. His/Her teacher told that the circuit diagram needs correction. Study the circuit diagram and redraw it after making all corrections
Answer : The ammeter is connected in parallel and voltmeter is connected in series. While voltmeter is always connected in parallel in a circuit. Thus, the correct diagram is as follows.
CBSE Class 10 Physics Electricity Worksheet Set D_2

Question. Should the resistance of an ammeter be low or high? Give reason.
Answer : Ideally the resistance of an ammeter should be zero, but it is not possible, therefore, resistance of an ammeter is almost negligible. If it is high or low, it will affect the electric current flowing through the circuit.

Question. B1, B2 and B3 are three identical bulbs connected as shown in this figure. When all the three bulbs glow, a current of 3A is recorded by the ammeter A.
CBSE Class 10 Physics Electricity Worksheet Set D_3
(i) What happens to the glow of the other two bulbs when the bulb B1 gets fused?
(ii) What happens to the reading of A1, A2, A3 and A when the bulb B2 gets fused?
Answer : (i) Because there is no division of voltage in parallel circuit, thus glow of other two bulbs remain same.
(ii) Since, the total electric current is equal to the sum of electric current through each of the electrical components.
As all the three bulbs are identical, thus electric current draws from each of the individual bulb will be same.
The electric current through the electric circuit is equal to 3A when all the three bubs are functioning.
Thus, after getting fuse of B2, the total electric current through the circuit will be equal to 2A.
Therefore,
A will show 2A
A1 will show 1A
And A3 will show 1A

Question. How will you conclude that the same potential difference (voltage) exists across three resistors connected in a parallel arrangement to a battery?
Answer : Take three resistors R1, R2 and R3, a battery, an ammeter, a voltmeter and some wires. Complete the circuit; as shown in the diagram.
CBSE Class 10 Physics Electricity Worksheet Set D_4
Measure potential difference when all the three resistors are connected in parallel.
Remove one of the resistors and measure the potential difference for remaining two resistors in parallel.
Remove the second resistor and measure the potential difference for the remaining resistor.
It is observed that the voltmeter shows same reading in all these conditions. This shows, that same potential difference exists across three resistors which are connected in parallel combination.

Question. Why is parallel arrangement used in domestic wiring?
Answer : Parallel arrangement used in domestic connection because:
There is no division of voltage among the electrical component, thus all works in better way.
Individual electrical components can be switched off or on without disturbing other.
Any other electrical component does not affected because of breaking down of any one.

Question. How will you infer with the help of an experiment that the same current flows through every part of the circuit containing three resistances in series connected to a battery?
Answer : Take three resistors R1, R2 and R3, a battery, an ammeter, a voltmeter and some wires. Complete the circuit; as shown in the diagram.
CBSE Class 10 Physics Electricity Worksheet Set D_5
Measure the electric current, using the ammeter as shown in the circuit diagram.
Now, connect the ammeter between R1 and R2 and measure the electric current.
Now, connect the ammeter between R2 and R3 and measure the electric current.
It is observed that the ammeter reading is same in all the three cases. This shows, that the same current flows through every part of a circuit in which resistances are connected in series.

Question. Draw a circuit diagram of an electric circuit containing a cell, a key, an ammeter, a resistor of 2 Ω in series with a combination of two resistors (4 Ω each) in parallel and a voltmeter across the parallel combination. Will the potential difference across the 2 Ω resistor be the same as that across the parallel combination of 4Ω resistors? Give reason.
Answer :
CBSE Class 10 Physics Electricity Worksheet Set D_6
The total effective resistance because of the parallel connection of two resistors of 4Ω:
Let the total effective resistance because of parallel connection = R
Thus,1R = 14Ω + 14Ω = 24Ω = 12Ω 1R = 14Ω + 14Ω = 24Ω = 12Ω
Therefore, R = 2Ω R = 2Ω
The potential difference divided in the electric circuit when resistors are connected in series. In the given condition, the total effective resistance of the parallel connection is equal to 2Ω. Therefore two resistors of 2Ω each are connected in series.
Therefore, the potential difference across the 2Ω resistor be the same as that across the parallel combination of 4Ω resistor.

Long Answer Type Questions :

Question. Find out the following in the electric circuit given in following figure.
CBSE Class 10 Physics Electricity Worksheet Set D_7
(a) Effective resistance of two 8 Ω resistors in the combination
(b) Current flowing through 4 Ω resistor
(c) Potential difference across 4 Ω resistance
(d) Power dissipated in 4 Ω resistor
(e) Difference in ammeter readings, if any.
Answer : (a) Let the total effective resistance in the combination = R
Therefore, 1R = 18Ω + 18Ω = 1 + 18Ω 1R = 18Ω + 18Ω = 1 + 18Ω = 28Ω = 14Ω = 28Ω = 14Ω
Thus, R = 4Ω R = 4Ω
Therefore, effective resistance = 4Ω
(b) Given, potential difference through the circuit, V = 8V
The total effective resistance of the circuit, R = resistance in series + effective resistance in parallel combination
⇒ R = 4Ω + 4Ω = 8Ω
Thus, electric current,I through the circuit = VR = VR
⇒ I = 8V 8Ω = 1 AI = 8V 8Ω = 1A
Since, there is no division of electric current in series combination,
thus, electric current through the 4Ω resistor = 1A
(c) Since there is no division of electric current, in the case of series connection.
Thus, electric current through the 4Ω resistor = 1A
Since, potential difference,V across the 4Ω resistor=IR
Therefore,V = 1A × 4Ω = 4V
(d) Electric current, I = 1A
Potential difference, through 4Ω resistor = 4V
Thus, power, P = V x I
⇒ P = 4V x 1A = 4 watt
Thus, power dissipated in 4Ω resistor = 4W
(e) Since resistors are connected in series, thus there is no difference in ammeter readings
