HOTS QUESTIONS (SOLVED / UNSOLVED)
Q.1. Why is the tungsten metal more coiled in the bulb and not installed in straight parallel wire
form?
Ans. The coiled wire of tungsten increases the surface area of the wire in very less space so as to
emit more light and helps in glowing with more intensity.
Q.2. Why are fairy decorative lights always connected in parallel?
Ans. When the fairy lights are connected in series the resistance offered will be greater and
brightness of the bulbs will be affected. But in parallel connection all the bulbs will glow with
same intensity and if any more bulbs gets fused the other bulbs will continue to glow.
Q.3. What will happen when -

a) Voltmeter is connected in series?
b) Ammeter is connected in parallel?
Ans. a) Negligible current will pass through the circuit because the voltmeter has a very high
resistance.
b) Ammeter will get damaged due to flow of large amount of current through it, because it
m
has low resistance.
