1. One coulomb of electrical charge is contributed by how many electrons?
0.625x1019 (Electrical charge of one electron is - 1.6 10 - 19 coulomb, hence one coulomb implies 1/|-1.610 - 19| or 0.625 1019 number of electrons.) 2. 5 1016 electrons pass across the section of a conductor in 1 minute and 20 seconds. The current is flowing 0.1 (The charge of an electron is - 1.6 10-19 coulomb.

Therefore, charge passes across the section in one second, is 8 10 - 3 coulomb / 80 second = 10 - 4 coulomb/second (or Amp) = 0.1 mA.) 3. A current of 6 A is same as 6 Coulomb/second. 4.

current of 10A. (It is rating of copper conductor. For 1 sq mm safe current is 10 A. In case of 1.5 sq mm the safe current is 15 A.) 11. For carrying an current of 75 A an aluminium conductor should have a minimum cross-section of 25mm2. (The current carrying capacity of aluminium conductor is near about 3 A / mm2.) 12. A copper wire of length l and diameter d has potential difference V applied across its two ends. The drift velocity is V d. If the diameter of the wire is made d / 2, then the drift velocity becomes Vd. (The drift velocity is a basic property of conductor material and hence it does not depend upon the length or diameter of the conductor.) 13.

How many coulombs of charge flows through a circuit carrying 5 A in 5 min? 1500 (The current means the rate of charge transfer per second. That means current I = Q / t. Here, I = 5 A, and t = 5 minutes = 5 60 = 300 sec. Therefore, total charge flows during 5 minutes are 5 300 = 1500 coulomb.) 20. The flow of current in solids is due to Electrons. 21.

The ratio of voltage and electrical current in a closed circuit remains constant. 34. Current velocity through the copper conductor is nearly 3x108 m/sec 35. A galvanometer with low resistance in series is an ammeter. (Basically, galvanometers are ammeters only. In electrical circuits, ammeters are connected in series. If the resistance is very low, then it could allow more current to the load without as much as power loss in that resistance). 36. When current passes through a metallic conductor, it temperature rises. This is due to Collision between conduction electrons and atoms. 37. If a parallel circuit is opened in the main line, the current is zero in the highest resistive branch. 38. A conductor of length L has carrying current I passing through it, when it is placed parallel to strong magnetic field. The force experienced by the conductor will be Zero. (The force can be found with the given expression F = I L B sin and is the angle between I and B. When that current carrying conductor is placed parallel to the magnetic field, then the angle between current and magnetic field is zero. So, sin = sin0 = 0. Hence, the force experienced by the conductor is zero.) 39. In the left hand rule, forefinger always represents Magnetic field. (Thumb finger represents the direction of force, Fore finger represents the direction of magnetic field, middle finger represents the direction of current.) 40. A wire carrying current is bent in the form of a circular loop. Then the magnetic field around each portion of the wire will be parallel to the plane of the wire. 41. Cork Screw rule is used to find Direction of current. (The direction in which the head of the cork screw rotates that would give the direction of the magnetic field or magnetic force of lines. The shape of this magnetic field is circular and the direction of magnetic field is clock-wise.)
