A: Let E be emf of each cell and r be the total internal resistance of circuit. The equation
of terminal potential difference V  3E  Ir …………(1)
At V = 6V, I = 0. Therefore from eq (1), 6  3E  0  E  2V
3.
When electrons drift in a metal from lower to higher potential, does it mean that all the free

When the length is made 3L, the drift velocity becomes one third.
9.
A wire of resistance 8 R is bent in the form of a circle. What is the effective resistance between
the ends of a diameter AB?
A: Two parts each of resistance 4R are connected in parallel; so effective resistance across ends
of diameter AB is 2R
10. State Kirchhoff’s rules.
A: Kirchhoff’s Rules:
(i) The algebraic sum of currents meeting at any junction is zero, i.e. ∑I = 0
(ii) The algebraic sum of potential differences across circuit elements of a closed circuit is
zero,i.e.,
∑V = 0
11. Write any two factors on which internal resistance of a cell depends.
A: The internal resistance of a cell depends on (i) distance (l) between electrodes.
(ii) area (A) of immersed part of electrode, and (iii) nature and concentration of electrolyte.

combination of three cells in series to a resistor, versus the current, I.
(i) Calculate the emf of each cell. (ii) For what current I will the power dissipation of the
circuit be maximum?
A: (i) Let E be emf of each cell and r be the total internal resistance of circuit. The equation
of terminal potential difference V  3E  Ir …………(1)
At V = 6V, I = 0.
Therefore from eq (1), 6  3E  0  E  2V
Therefore from eq (1), 0  6  2r  r  3

14. Two students ‘X’ and ‘Y’ perform an experiment on potentiometer separately using the circuit
given. Keeping other parameters unchanged, how will the position of the null point be affected
it (i) ‘X’ increases the value of resistance R in the set-up by keeping the key K1 closed and the key
K2 open? (ii) ‘Y’ decreases the value of resistance S in the set-up, while the key K2 remain open
and the key K1 closed? Justify.
A: (i) By increasing resistance R the current through AB decreases, so potential gradient
decreases. Hence a greater length of wire would be needed for balancing the same potential
difference. So the null point would shift towards B.
(ii) By decreasing resistance S, the current through AB remains the same, potential gradient does
not change. As K2 is open so there is no effect of S on null point.
15. Plot a graph showing temperature dependence of resistivity for a typical semiconductor. How is
this behaviour explained?
A: Variation of resistivity with temperature is shown below:
Explanation: In semiconductor the number density of free electrons (n) increases with increase
in temperature (T) and consequently the relaxation period decreases. But the effect of increase
in n has higher impact than decrease of ρ. So, resistivity decreases with increase in temperature.
16. (a) You are required to select a carbon resistor of resistance 47 k Ω ± 10% from a large collection.
What should be the sequence of colour bands used to code it? (b) Write the characteristics of
manganin which make it suitable for making standard resistance.
A: (a) Sequence of colour should be: Yellow, Violet, Orange and Silver
(b) (i) Very low temperature coefficient of resistance. (ii) High resistivity
17. In the given circuit, assuming point A to be at zero potential, use Kirchhoff’s rules to determine
the potential at point B.
A: By KCL, current in DC branch I = 3-1 = 2A
Applying KVL along path ACDB,
VA  2  22  4  VB  VB  VA  2  0  2  2V
18. Define drift velocity. Write its relationship with relaxation time in terms of the electric field E
applied to a conductor. A potential difference V is applied to a conductor of length L. How is the
drift velocity affected when V is doubled and L is halved?
A: Drift velocity is defined as the average velocity with which the free electrons get drifted
towards the positive end of the conductor under the influence of an external electric field
applied. It is given by
vd 
eV
mL
When V is doubled and L is halved, the drift velocity becomes 4 times.
19. Define ionic mobility. Write its relationship with relaxation time. How does one understand the
temperature dependence of resistivity of a semiconductor?
A: Mobility of an ion is defined as the drift velocity per unit electric field.
μ=
vd
e
=
τ . Its unit is m2 /Vs.
E m
When temperature increases, covalent bonds of neighbouring atoms break and charge carriers
become free, so resistivity of semi-conductor decreases with rise of temperature.
20. State the principle of working of a potentiometer. Define potential gradient and write its S.I. unit.
A: Principle of potentiometer - When a constant current flows through a wire of uniform crosssectional area, the potential drop across any portion of the wire is directly proportional to the
length of that portion.
The fall of potential per unit length along potentiometer wire is called the potential gradient.
The S.I. unit of potential gradient is volt/metre.
21. State the principle on which the working of a meter bridge is based. Under what condition is the
error in determining the unknown resistance minimized?
A: the working of a meter bridge is based on the principle of Wheatstone’s bridge. To minimize
the error in determining the unknown resistance, the position of balanced point should be in the
middle of meter-bridge wire.
22. Calculate the current drawn from the battery in the given network.
A: The equivalent circuit is shown in fig.
The five resistors form a balanced Wheatstone’s bridge. Since
R1 R4

R5 R3
So, R2 is ineffective.
The effective resistance of R1 and R5 in series,
R’ = R1 + R5 = 1 + 2 = 3 Ω
The effective resistance of R4 and R3 in series is
R” = R4 + R3 = 2 + 4 = 6 Ω
R’ and R” are in parallel. Therefore the Equivalent resistance of network between A and B,

23. A wire of 15 Ω resistance is gradually stretched to double its original length. It is then cut into
two equal parts. These parts are then connected in parallel across a 3 volt battery. Find the
