Question # 1

Name any four source of current.

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

Question # 2

Why potential meter is accurate measuring meter?

Ans 1: The voltage measured using potentiometer is the voltage across the terminal of the cell when current is not following through it.This voltage is exactly the emf of the cell.Further the accuracy of a potentiometer can be increased to a great extent by increasing the length of the "potentiometer wire".

Question # 3

Differentiate between conventional and non-conventional current.

Ans 1: Conventional Current: The current flow die to positive charges from a point at higher potential to a point at lower potential is called conventional current.
Ans 2: Non-Conventional Current: The amount of electric charge that flow through a cross section of a conductor per unit time is known as electric current.It is also known as non-conventional current.

Question # 4

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 # 5

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 # 6

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 # 7

State Ohm's law and write its formula.

Ans 1: It states that "the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference provided that the physical state remains same"
V=IR
Resistance: The opposition against the flow of current is known as resistance.The SI unit of resistance is Ohm
R=V/I

Question # 8

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 # 9

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 # 10

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 # 1

How can rheostat be used as potential divider?

Ans 1: By adjusting the sliding contact resistance of the rheostat can be altered which in turn would regulate the potential offered by the cell E to the main circuit,And thus a rheostat can be used as potential divider.

Question # 6

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 # 7

A potential difference is applied across the ends of a copper wire,What is the effect on the drift velocity of free electrons by decreasing the length and temperature of the wire?

Ans 1: By decreasing the length and temperature of wire the value of resistance in the wire also decrease which cause an increase in the value of current,Hence the drift velocity of free electrons also increase.
