7. Raji took a wire of length 10 cm. Ravi took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness
both of them connected the wires as shown in the circuit given in the figure. The current
flowing in both the circuits is the same.

8. When a switch is OFF


(i) circuit starting from the positive terminal of the cell stops at the switch
(ii) circuit is open
(iii) current does not flow through it
(iv) current flows after sometime
Choose the combination of correct answer from the following.
(a) All are correct (b) (ii) and (iii) are correct
(c) Only (iv) is correct (d) (i) and (ii) are correct

9. Assertion and Reason


(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

(i) Assertion (A): Fuse is a safety device which prevents damages to electrical circuits and
possible fires.
Reason (R): The fuse wire blows off and breaks the circuit and prevents fire and damage.
