Iron and silicon wires are heated from 30°C to 50°C.The correct statement is that
resistance of both the wires increases
resistance of both the wires decreases
resistance of iron wire increases and that of silicon wire decreases
resistance of iron wire decreases and that of silicon wire increases
A storage battery is connected to the mains for charging with emf of 12.5 V. The internal resistance of the storage battery is 1 Ω. When the charging current is 0.5 A, the potential difference across the storage battery is
13 V
12.5 V
12 V
11.5 V
Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter because
it has a wire of high resistance
it has a wire of low resistance
it does not draw current from external circuit
it draws a heavy current from external circuit
Four bulbs marked 40 W, 250 V are connected in series with 250 V mains, the total power consumed is
10 W
40 W
320 W
160 W
In a potentiometer of 10 wires,the balance point is obtained on the 7th wire.To shift the balance point to 9th wire,we should
decrease resistance in the main circuit
increase resistance in the main circuit
decrease resistance in series with the cell whose emf is to be measured
increase resistance in series with the cell whose emf is to be determined
A piece of copper and another of germanium are cooled from room temperature to 80K.The resistance of
each of them increases
each of them decreases
copper increases and germanium decreases
copper decreases and germanium increases
Fuse wire is a wire of
low resistance and low melting point
low resistance and high melting point
high resistance and high melting point
high resistance and low melting point
Kirchhoff's current law at a junction deals with conservation of
charge
energy
momentum
all of these
A 220 volt, 1000 watt bulb is connected across a 110 volt mains supply. The power consumed will be
750 watt
500 watt
250 watt
1000 watt
