Understanding +4 | -1
As the temperature rises the resistance offered by metal
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Increase
Option A (Increase) is correct because the resistance of a metal increases with temperature due to increased collisions of electrons with vibrating atoms.

What determines the emf between the two metals placed in an electrolyte?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Relative position of metals in the electro chemical series
Option A (Relative position of metals in the electro chemical series) is correct because the electrochemical series dictates the potential difference based on the metals' reduction potentials.

When a current passes through the junction of two different metals, evolution or absorption of heat at the junction is known as
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Peltier effect
Option C is correct because the Peltier effect describes the evolution or absorption of heat at the junction of two different metals when a current passes through, and this is distinct from the Joule, Seebeck, and Thomson effects.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
10−4 ms10^{-4} \mathrm{~ms}
Option A (10−4 ms10^{-4} \mathrm{~ms}) is correct because the drift velocity of electrons in a current-carrying conductor is typically on the order of 10−4 ms10^{-4} \mathrm{~ms}.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Maximum current ratings in the ratio of 1:4\mathrm{1 :4}
Option B (Maximum current ratings in the ratio of 1:4\mathrm{1 :4}) is correct because the current rating is proportional to the power and inversely proportional to the voltage.

An ammeter with internal resistance 90  Ω90\,\,\mathrm{\Omega } reads 1.85  A1.85\,\,A when connected in a circuit containing a battery and two resistors 700  Ω700\,\,\mathrm{\Omega } and 410  Ω410\,\,\mathrm{\Omega } in series. Actual current will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Greater than 1.85  A1.85\,\,A
The correct answer is Greater than 1.85  A1.85\,\,A because the ammeter's internal resistance reduces the total resistance in the circuit, thus lowering the current reading.

Understanding +4 | -1
A thermocouple is formed by two metals XX and YY, metal XX comes earlier to YY in Seebeck series. If temperature of hot junction increases beyond the temperature of inversion, then direction of current in thermocouple will be from
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both (b)\left( \mathrm{b} \right) and (c)\left( \mathrm{c} \right)
Option D (Both (b) and (c)) is correct because when the temperature of the hot junction exceeds the inversion temperature, the direction of the current reverses, flowing from X to Y through the hot junction and Y to X through the cold junction.

The tolerance level of a resistor with the colour code red, blue, orange, gold is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
±  5  %\pm \,\,5\,\,\%

Which of the following relation is wrong?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
1  coulomb×  1volt  =  1watt\begin{array}{llllllllllllllllllll} {\mathrm{1}\,\,\mathrm{coulomb \times }\,\,\mathrm{1 volt}\,\,\mathrm{ = }\,\,\mathrm{1 watt}} \end{array}
Option D is wrong because 1 coulomb x 1 volt = 1 joule, not 1 watt. Watt is the unit of power, and Joule is the unit of energy.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
The resistance of the filament in 40  watt40\,\,watt bulb is more than the resistance in 100  watt100\,\,watt bulb
The resistance of the filament in the 40 watt bulb is more than the resistance in the 100 watt bulb because power is inversely proportional to resistance at a constant voltage.

Understanding +4 | -1
The resistance of a metal increases with increasing temperature because
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
The collisions of the conducting electrons with the lattice consisting of the ions of the metal increases

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
40  W40\,\,W in series and 100  W100\,\,W in parallel
Option A (40  W40\,\,W in series and 100  W100\,\,W in parallel) is correct because in series, the lower wattage bulb glows brighter, and in parallel, the higher wattage bulb glows brighter.
107 Medium
107 of 148
Analyzing +4 | -1
Pick out the wrong statement
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
The resistance of an incandescent lamp is greater when the lamp is switched off
Option B is the wrong statement. The resistance of an incandescent lamp is greater when the lamp is switched on because the filament is hot, and resistance increases with temperature.

Two bulbs rated (25  w−220  v)\left( {25\,\,w - 220\,\,v} \right) and (100  w−220  v)\left( {100\,\,w - 220\,\,v} \right) are connected in series to 440  v440\,\,v time. Which one likely to fuse?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
25  w   bulb25\,\,w\,\,\,{\text{bulb}}
Option A (25 w bulb) is correct because the 25W bulb has higher resistance and thus dissipates more power when connected in series, making it more likely to fuse.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
19989  Ω19989\,\,\mathrm{\Omega }
Option B (both bulbs will fuse) is correct because when connected in parallel to 240V, each bulb experiences twice its rated voltage, leading to excessive power and fusing.

A 25  W,  220  V25\,\,W,\,\,220\,\,V bulb and a 100  W,  220  V100\,\,W,\,\,220\,\,V bulb are connected in parallel across a 440  V440\,\,V line

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both bulbs will fuse
The correct answer is Both bulbs will fuse because the voltage across each bulb will be approximately 220V, which is double their rated voltage, causing them to overheat and fuse.
