Assertion: EMF of battery decreases with time.
Reason: Internal resistance increases with time.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason doesn't directly explain the assertion. The EMF decrease is primarily due to chemical changes, not just internal resistance.

Find the true statements
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
The resistance of an incandescent lamp is lesser when the lamp is switched on

Assertion (A)In a meter bridge experiment, null point for an unknown resistance is put inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same p{p} as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance.

Reason (R) Resistance of metal increases with increase in temperature.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both Assertion and Reason are false.
Option D (If both Assertion and Reason are false) is correct because increasing the temperature of the unknown resistance will increase its resistance, requiring an increase in the standard resistance to maintain the null point. Semiconductors have a negative temperature coefficient.

A student in a town in India, where the price per
unit (1 unit = 1 kW-h) of electricity is `5.00,
purchases a 1 kVA UPS (uninterrupted power
supply) battery. A day before the exam, 10
friends arrive to the student’s home with their
laptops and all connect their laptops to the UPS.
Assume that each laptop has a constant power
requirement of 90 W. Consider the following
statements

I. All the 10 laptops can be powered by the
UPS if connected directly.

II. All the 10 laptops can be powered if
connected using an extension box with a
3A fuse.

III. If all the 10 friends use the laptop for 5 hours,
then the cost of the consumed electricity is
about `22.50.

Select the correct option with the true
statements.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
I and III only
Option C (I and III only) is correct because the UPS can power the laptops directly, and the cost of electricity consumed can be calculated based on the power usage and time.

By mistake a voltmeter is connected in series and an ammeter is connected in parallel with a resistance in an electrical circuit. What will happen to the instrument?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
None is damaged
The correct answer is None is damaged because the voltmeter has very high resistance and the ammeter has very low resistance, so the circuit will not allow enough current to damage either.

Reason: In the balanced condition, current through the galvanometer is very high.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both Assertion & Reason are False
Option D (If both Assertion & Reason are False) is correct because in a balanced Wheatstone bridge, the current through the galvanometer is zero, and the current through the cell depends on the overall resistance of the bridge, not the galvanometer's resistance.
