1. a) What do you understand by the term potential difference? b) What is meant by saying that the electric potential at a point is 1 volt? c) How much work is done in moving a charge of 2C from a point at 220V to another point a 230V? 2 a) What is the device used for measuring current and potential difference? Name the device which helps to maintain a potential difference across a conductor. b) How are these meters connected in the circuit to measure the current and potential difference? Illustrate with the help of a circuit diagram. c) What is the resistance of ideal voltmeter and an ammeter? 3 What is the potential difference between the terminals of a battery if 250 joules of work is required to transfer 20 coulomb of charge from one terminal of battery to the other? 4 a) What is an electric current? b) Define the unit of electric current. c) A current of 4 A flows around a circuit for 10s. How many charge flows past a point in the circuit in this time. 5 a) State Ohm’s law. b) Draw a labeled circuit diagram which can be used to verify Ohm’s law. c) What happens to the resistance of a conductor if i) the length is doubled ii) the thickness is reduced and iii) the temperature increased? d) A resistance of 20 Ω has a current of 2 amperes flowing in it. What is the potential difference between its ends. 6. a) Plot a graph between voltage and current by using the data given in the table below. Determine the resistance of the conductor from the graph. Voltage V (V) 2.5 5 10 15 Current I (A) 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.6 7. a) Define resistivity of conductor. b) How does the resistivity of a conductor change if i) the length is tripled ii) the area reduced to half iii) the temperature decreased. c) Calculate the resistance of a copper wire of 1 km long and 0.50 mm diameter, if the resistivity of copper is 1.7 x 10-8 Ωm. d) Give two reasons why alloys like nichrome are used for making heating elements of electric devices like toasters, electric iron etc. _________________________
