X SA I PHY TEST FULL SYLLABUS 1


1.       [1]What  is the lowest  resistance that  can be obtained by combining four  coils of resistors  of   4,  8 , 12  and  24 Ohm    ?

2.       [2]Will current flow more  easily  through a thick wire  or a thin  wire  of the same  material, when  connected to the same  source  ?  Why ? Name  the factors  on which  the resistance of a wire  depends.

3.       [2]Write  the general principle involved in generating nuclear  energy.   Name  one fuel used in a nuclear reactor.

4.       [2]What  is a solenoid ?  Draw  a sketch  to show  the pattern of field lines due  to a solenoid carrying current.

5.       [2]An electric  lamp  is marked 220V, 100W.  It is used  for 5 hours  daily.   Calculate                
(a)    Its resistance while  glowing
(b)    Energy  consumed in kWh/day.

6.       [3]Giving  a schematic diagram of bio-gas  plant  explain  the  production of bio-gas  and  manure.  Give the composition of bio-gas.
7.       [3]


























(a)     For the circuit  shown above  in the diagram, calculate :
(i)      Value  of current through the 30 ohm resistor.
(ii)     Total resistance of the  circuit.
(b)     Give two  advantages of connecting electrical  devices  in parallel with  battery.

8.       [3] (a)     Describe  an activity  to draw a magnetic field line outside a bar magnet from  one pole  to another.
(b)     List any two  properties of magnetic field lines.

9.       [3] (a)     Electric fuse is an important component of all domestic circuits.   Why  ?                      
(b)     An  electric  oven  of rating 2 kW, 220V is operated in a domestic circuit  with  a current  rating of 5A.  What 
10.    [5] (a)     State ohm’s  law.   Express  it mathematically.                                                                 
(b)     Write  symbols used  in electric circuits  to represent :
(i)     Variable  resistance                         (ii)     Voltmeter.
(c)     An electric bulb is rated  220V and  100W.  When  it is operated on 110V, what  will be the power consumed ?
‘OR’
[5] (a)     Why  is the series  arrangement not used  for domestic circuits  ?                                        
(b)     Why is the tungsten used  almost  exclusively for filament of electric lamps  ?
(c)     Why  are  the  conductors of electric  heating devices  such  as bread toasters and electric  irons  made of an alloy  rather than  a pure metal  ?
