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.

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.

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  ?
