Physics - ICS Part 2 Physics Chapter 13 Short Questions Preparation

Question # 1

What are the difficulties in testing weather the filament of lighted bulb obeys ohm's law?

Ans 1: In case of light bulb,the temperature of the filament increase with the passage of current through it.Hence the Ohms law can't be applied to filament bulb.

Question # 2

What is wheat stone bridge?

Ans 1: It is an electrical circuit which can be used to find the unknown resistance of a wire.It consists of four resistance connected in the form of mesh.galvanometer,battery and switch.

Question # 3

Why does no current pass through Galvanometer in a balanced wheat stone bridge although the keys in the circuit are closed ?

Ans 1: No current pass through the galvanometer when wheat stone bridge is balanced.Because at this stage ,both the terminals of the galvanometer are at the same potential.Hence no current will flow through it.

Question # 4

State Ohm's law and basic principle of electroplating.

Ans 1: Current passing through a wire is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its ends provided that the physical state conductors remains same.
Basic principle of electroplating is a process of coating a thin layer of sum expensive metal of (gold,silver etc) on a article of some cheap metal.

Question # 5

Why does the resistance of a conductor rise with a temperature?

Ans 1: As the temperature of the conductor rises,the amplitude of vibration of atoms increase and hence the probability of their collision with free electrons also increases which results in increase of resistance of conductor.

Question # 6

Does the bends in wire effect its electrical resistance?

Ans 1: No bend in wire do not affect its electrical resistance.

Question # 7

What is short circuit and open circuit mean to you?

Ans 1: when switched is close and current is passing through the circuit,It is called closed circuit and in this situation resistance is zero whereas the circuit is said to be open if it has infinite resistance and no current is passing through it.

Question # 8

What is meant by tolerance?

Ans 1: Tolerance means the possible variation from the marked value.

Question # 9

What is the negative coefficient of temperature?

Ans 1: If the resistance of a substance decrease with an increase in temperature ,then it is termed as negative coefficient of temperature,For example ,silicon and germanium have negative coefficient of temperature.

Question # 10

A voltmeter can not read the exact EMF of the cell.Why?

Ans 1: When a voltmeter is connected across a cell,it will draw some current from the cell and small potential drop takes place due current flowing through the internal resistance of the cell.As a result the actual emf of the cell decrease and the voltmeter cannot read exact value.

Question # 1

How the heating effects produce when current flows through the conductor?

Ans 1: During their motion free electrons collide frequently with the atoms of metal,on each collision they transfer some of their kinetic energy to the atime with which they collide.And these collisions produce heating effect in the wire.

Question # 2

What is the conventional current? How does it differs from electric current?

Ans 1: The current flow due to positive charges from a point at higher potential to a point at lower potential is called conventional current.It is due to positive charges while electric current is due to negative charges i.e electrons.

Question # 3

What is short circuit and open circuit mean to you?

Ans 1: when switched is close and current is passing through the circuit,It is called closed circuit and in this situation resistance is zero whereas the circuit is said to be open if it has infinite resistance and no current is passing through it.

Question # 4

Name any four source of current.

Ans 1: Source of current are
1. Cells
2. Electric generators
3. Thermocouples
4. Solar cells

Question # 5

What does the equation H=I²Rt show?

Ans 1: This equation show the heating effect,During their motion free electrons collide frequently with the atom of metal.on each collision they transfer some of their kinetic energy to the atom with which they collide.And these collisions produce heating effect in the wire.

Question # 6

What is meant by tolerance?

Ans 1: Tolerance means the possible variation from the marked value.

Question # 7

Briefly describe the current through a metallic conductor and drift velocity.

Ans 1: In a metallic conductor,free electron are in random motion with the speed of several hundred km/s at the room temperature.If the ends of the wire are connected to the battery the free electrons are experience a force and directed to move in the electric field direction.The accelerating electrons keep on colliding with atoms of the conductors and transfer their energy to the lattice with the result that the electrons acquire an average velocity called drift velocity.The drift velocity is of the order of 10^-3.A steady current is establish in the wire.

Question # 8

What is ohmic and non ohmic devices with example.

Ans 1: The devices which obey Ohm's law are called ohmic devices and devices which do not obey Ohm's law are called non-ohmic law.For example copper,silver and gold are ohmic whereas diodes and tungsten filaments are non ohmic.

Question # 9

Why does the resistance of a conductor rise with a temperature?

Ans 1: As the temperature of the conductor rises,the amplitude of vibration of atoms increase and hence the probability of their collision with free electrons also increases which results in increase of resistance of conductor.

Question # 10

Do two long and parallel current carrying wires attract each other?

Ans 1: Yes ,If the direction of current is same in two long parallel current carrying wires.Because the opposite pole of electromagnet comes in front of each other and attracts.
