66) Assertion: A bird perches on a high power line and nothing happens to the bird.

(d) A is false, but R is true.

Answer : (a): Electric shock is due to the electric current flowing through a living body. When
the bird perches on a single high power line, no current passes through its body because its
body is at equipotential surface, i.e., there is no potential difference. While when man touches
the same line, standing bare foot on ground, the electrical circuit is completed through the
ground. The hands of man are at high potential and his feets are at low potential. Hence large
amount of current flows through the body of the man and therefore, gets a fatal shock.

(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.

Answer : (c) : As P = Vi, hence for the transmission of same power, high voltage implies less
current. Therefore heat energy losses (H = i2 Rt / 4.2) are minimized if power is transmitted at
high voltage.
69) Assertion: Bending a wire does not affect electrical resistance.
Reason: Resistance of a wire is proportional to resistivity of material.
Codes

Answer : (d): As R = V / I and P = VI, by measuring V and I simultaneously in circuit we can

measure both resistance and power, using the given relation.

 Answer : (a): Metals are good conductors of electricity. It is because of the presence of a large
number of free electrons in metals. And for metals electrons are the
main cause for thermal conduction. That's why all good conductors of heat are also good
conductors of electricity.

78) The relationship between potential difference and current was first established by George Simon
Ohm called Ohm's law. According to this law, the current through a metallic conductor is
proportional to the potential difference applied between its ends, provided the temperature remain
constant i.e. I ∝ V or V = IR; where R is constant for the conductor and it is called resistance of the
conductor. Although Ohm's law has been found valid over a large class of materials, there do exist
materials and devices used in electric circuits where the proportionality of V and I does not hold.

(c) current will (d) resistance
increase will decrease.

Answer : (i)(a): V = IR
So, V' → 2 V, R' → 2R
2V
I′ = 2R
=I
(ii) (b): V ∝ I. So, the graph is a straight line and passing through origin.
I 1
(iii) (b): Slope of V-I graph = V = R .
(iv) (c): Given: V = 9 V, 1= 0.1 A
V 9
R= I
= 0.1
= 90Ω
(v) (c): On increasing the voltage, the resistance remain same, so current will increase .
79) Two or more resistances are connected in series or in parallel or both, depending upon whether we
want to increase or decrease the circuit resistance.
 The two or more resistances are said to be connected in series if the current flowing through each
resistor is same. The equivalent resistance in the series combination is given by
Rs = R 1 + R 2 + R 3
(i) When three resistors are connected in series with a battery of voltage V and voltage drop across
resistors is V1, V2 and V3, which of the relation is correct?
(a) V = V1= V2 = (b) V = V1 + V2
V3 + V3
(c) V1 + V2 + V3 (d) V > V1 + V2
= 3V + V3
(ii) When the three resistors each of resistance R ohm, connected in series, the equivalent resistance
is
(a) R/2 (b) > R
(c) < R/2 (d) < R
(iii) There is a wire oflength 20 cm and having resistance 20 Ω cut into 4 equal pieces and then
joined in series.
The equivalent resistance is
(a) 20 Ω (b) 4 Ω
(c) 5 Ω (d) 10 Ω
(iv) In the following circuit, find the equivalent resistance between A and B is (R = 2 Ω )

(a) 10 Ω (b) 5 Ω
(c) 2 Ω (d) 4 Ω
(v) In the given circuit, the current in each resistor is

(a) 3 A (b) 6 A
(c) 9 A (d) 18 A

Answer : (i) (b): In series combination, the total voltage is equal to the sum of voltage drop
across each resistance.
(ii) (b): Rs = R1 + R2 + R3
So, Rs = R + R + R = 3R
(iii) (a): Resistance of each wire = 20/4 = 5 Ω
Equivalent resistance in series
Rs = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 Ω
(iv) (a): All are in series, Rs = 5R= 5 x 2 = 10Ω
(v) (a): Rs = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 Ω

80) The electrical energy consumed by an electrical appliance is given by the product of its power rating
and the time for which it is used. The SI unit of electrical energy is Joule. Actually, Joule represents
a very small quantity of energy and therefore it is inconvenient to use where a large quantity of
energy is involved. So for commercial purposes we use a bigger unit of electrical energy which is
called kilowatt hour. 1 kilowatt-hour is equal to 3.6 x 106 joules of electrical energy.
(i) The energy dissipated by the heater is E. When the time of operating the heater is doubled, the
energy dissipated is
(a) doubled (b) half
(c) remains same (d) four times
(ii) The power of a lamp is 60 W The energy consumed in 1 minute is
(a) 360J (b) 36J
(c) 3600J (d) 3.6 J
 (iii) The electrical refrigerator rated 400 W operates 8 hours a day. The cost of electrical energy is ₹5
per kWh. Find the cost of running the refrigerator for one day?
(a) ₹32 (b) ₹16
(c) ₹8 (d) ₹4
(iv) Calculate the energy transformed by a 5 A current flowing through a resistor of 2 Ω for 30
minutes?
(a) 90 kJ (b) 80 kJ
(c) 60 kJ (d) 40 kJ
(v) Which of the following is correct?
(a) 1 watt hour = 3600 J
(b) lkWh = 36x106J
(c) Energy (in kWh) = power (in W) x time (in hr)
V ( volt )×I( ampere )×t( sec )
(d) Energy (in kWh) = 1000

Answer : (i) (a): E ∝ t

(ii) (c): Given: P = 60W, t = 1 min
E = 60 x 1 x 60 = 3600J
(iii) (b): Given: P = 400Ω , t = 8 hour
E = 400 x 8 = 3200Wh = 3.2kWh
Cost = 3.2 x 5 = ₹ 16
(iv) (a): Given: I= 5 A, R = 2 Ω , t = 30 min
E = I2Rt = 5 x 5 x 2 x 30 x 60
E = 90000J = 90 kJ
(v) (a): 1watt hr = 3600J
