1. OHM’S LAW
1. A constant potential difference is maintained across two resistors of resistances R1 and R2 (R2<
R1). In which conductor less current will flow and why?
3.
In the Ohm’s law experiment, if the position of ammeter and volt meter are interchanged, what
happens to the measurement readings?
Ans. If both are ideal instruments, they will show any reading.
4. Two resistors of resistance R and 2R connected in parallel and the combination are connected in
series with another resistor of resistance 4R, (a) find the ratio of current in parallel combination.
(b) If a supply of V volt is connected across the free terminals, what is the ratio of potential
difference between the junctions?
5. You are given voltmeter, ammeter, resistance wire, rheostate and a key, arrange the components
to verify V = IR.
Ans.
6. In the Ohm’s law experiment copper wire and nichrome wire are used for the same length and
area of cross section. Of the two wires which has higher resistivity? If nichrome wire and the
copper wire are interchanged? Is Ohm’s law still valid?
No.
7. What is resistivity ?
Ans : It is defined as the resistance offered by a wire of unit length and unit area of cross section.
10. Draw the graph between conductivity and resistivity of a metallic conductor
Ans :-
1 In a meter Bridge, the balance point is found to be at 39.5 cm from its zero end, when the resistor
R is 12.5Ω. Determine the value of resistance X.
2. Why are the connection between resistors in a meter Bridge made of thick copper strips?
3. What happens if the galvanometer & cell are interchanged at the balance point of the bridge?
Would the galvanometer will show any current?
4. In a meter bridge exp., balance point was observed at distance ‘l’ from its zero end.
(i) The values of known resistors R and X were doubled and then interchanged. What would be
the new position of new balance point?
(ii) If the galvanometer and battery are interchanged at the balance point, how will the balance
point get affected?
5. In a meter bridge exp., the balance point is found to at 40 cm from its zero end. When the resistor
Y is of value 20 Ω is in the right gap of the meter bridge & unknown resistor X is in the left gap.
Calculate the balancing length if X and Y are interchanged.
6. In a meter bridge, two unknown resistors R and S are connected in the left and right gap
respectively and the null point is found at a distance of 40 cm from the zero end. If a resistance
of 12 Ω is connected in parallel with S, the null point occurs at 50 cm from zero end. Determine
the values of R and S.
7. What do you mean by potential gradient?
8. A student uses a cell of emf 2 V and found the balance point at distance 350 cm. When a cell of
unknown emf is attached and balance point shift 150 cm ahead than previous. Find the unknown
emf.
9. The balance points in a potentiometer experiment is found to be at 600 cm and 400 cm
respectively by using a known resistance 50 Ω and a cell of emf 6 V. Find the internal resistance
of the cell.
10. In a potentiometer arrangement , a cell of emf 1.25 V gives a balance point at 35 cm length of the
wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to 63 cm. What is the emf
of the second cell?

Answer Key
5. REFRACTION OF LIGHT.
1. A+D=i+e
2. Similar to parabola.
3. i=e
4. Refracted ray is parallel to the base of the prism and i=e.
5. To be able to obtain the value of angle of minimum deviation accurately. For example, if δ
readings are taken initially at 35°, 40°, 45° and 50° and if the i – δ data points are situated
between 35°and 40° then a few more readings need to be taken for values of i in the range 35° to
45° say, at a difference of 1° or 2°. Taking more readings in this region will help in drawing a
smooth curve. This will enable you to locate the position of the lowest point on the graph more
accurately.
6 To minimize the error.
7 Splitting of polychromatic beam of light into its constituents colours.
8. Refractive index of the material of the prism is different for different wavelengths.
9 At minimum deviation angle
10 Angle of incidence should be greater that critical angle when ray of light is moving from denser to
rarer medium.
