If it is cut into halves and joined in parallel, it will consume power A) P B) P2 C) 2P D) 4P Global Education Centre www.gecmideast.com gec@gecmideast.com 74418181 | 74451818 Q.2 Two statements are given-one labeled Assertion (A) and the other labeled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a),(b),(c) and (d) as given below. (5 marks; 1 mark each) a) Both A and R are true, and R is correct explanation of the assertion. 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
6) Assertion: Heater wire must have high resistance and high melting point. Reason: If resistance is high, the electric conductivity will be less. 7) Assertion: The connecting wires are made of copper. Reason: The electrical conductive of copper is high. 8) Assertion: When a wire is stretched to three times of its length, its resistance become 9 times. Reason: Resistance is directly proportional to length of wire. 9) Assertion: The 200W bulbs glows with more brightness than 100W bulbs Reason : A 100W bulb has more resistance than a 200W bulb. 10) Assertion: Bending a wire does not affect electrical resistance. Reason : Resistance of a wire is proportional to resistivity of material.
