    ELECTRICITY (30 MARKS)

    1 MARK

    1. Asser on (A): The voltmeter is always connected in parallel across the points where the
    poten al difference is to be measured.
    Reason (R): A voltmeter has a very high resistance, and connec ng it in parallel ensures
    that it does not alter the current in the circuit.
    a. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explana on of A.
    b. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explana on of A.
    c. A is true, but R is false.
    d. A is false, but R is true.

    2. Assertion (A): A rheostat is a device used to regulate current in an electric circuit by


    changing the resistance.
    Reason (R): A variable resistance is used to regulate current without altering the voltage
    of the source.
    a. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
    b. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
    c. A is true, but R is false.

    3. A is false, but R is true. What is the SI unit of electric current?


    a. Volt
    b. Coulomb
    c. Ampere
    d. Ohm

    4. Why are alloys preferred over pure metals for high-temperature applications?
    a. They are cheaper than pure metals.
    b. They are harder and more brittle.
    c. They do not oxidize at high temperatures.
    d. They have better electrical conductivity

    5. Which of the following terms does not represent electrical power in a circuit?
    (a) I2R
    (b) IR2
    (c) VI
    (d) V2/R

    6. The resistivity of insulators is of the order of

    8. The potential difference between the terminals of an electric heater is 60 V when it


    draws a current of 4 A from the source. What current will the heater draw if the
    potential difference is increased to 120 V?
    9. State the Joules law of heating.
    10. Why is it not possible to connect devices like an electric bulb and an electric heater in
    series in a circuit?
    11. An electric bulb is rated 220 V and 100 W. When it is operated on 110 V. What will be
    the power consumed?

    12. a) Define circuit and draw a closed-circuit diagram. (2m)
    b) Define potential difference. (1m)
    13. An electric iron consumer’s energy at a rate of 880 W when heating is at the maximum
    rate and 360 W when the heating is at the minimum, the voltage is 220 V. What are the
    current and the resistance in each case?

    5 MARKS
    14. a) A heater of 10 ohm, draws current of 10A from an electric source for 2 hours.
    Calculate the heat produced in the heater. (2m)
    b) An electric lamp, whose resistance is 20 Ω, and a conductor of 4 Ω resistance are
    connected to a 6 V battery. Calculate (a) total resistance of the circuit, (b)current
    through the circuit, (c) potential difference across the electric lamp and conductor. (3m)

    CASE-STUDY

    15. Substance through which charges cannot pass is called insulators. Glass, pure water, and
    all gases are insulators. Insulators are also called dielectrics. In insulators, the electrons
    are strongly bound to their atoms and cannot get themselves freed. Thus, free electrons
    are absent in insulators. Insulators can easily be charged by friction. This is due to the
    reason that when an electric charge is given to an insulator, it is unable to move freely
    and remains localized. But this does not mean that conductors cannot be charged. A
    metal rod can be charged by rubbing it with silk if it is held in a handle of glass or amber.

    i) Calculate the current in a wire if a 1500 C charge is passed through it in 5 minutes.


    ii) Electrons and conventional current flows in:
    (a) same direction (b) opposite direction (c) any direction
    iii) One-coulomb charge is equivalent to the charge contained in ___ electrons.
    iv) What property of insulators allows them to retain an electric charge when rubbed
