Q:

A wire of copper having length I and area of cross-section A is taken and a current / is flown through it. The power dissipated in the wire is P. If we take an aluminium wire having same dimensions and pass the same current through it, the power dissipated will be

A) P B) < P
C) > P D) 2P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) > P

Explanation:

Aluminum has a resistivity varying from 2.65 to 2.82 × 10−8 Ω m.The resistivity of copper is generally given as: 1.72 x 10-8 Ω.m.So, since resistivity of aluminium is higher than that of copper, so Power dissipated will be greater than P. this is because rest of the factors (l, A and i) are constant.

Q:

three_resistors_are_arranged_in_a_circuit_as_shown_above1559105724.PNG image

Three resistors are arranged in a circuit as shown above. The battery has an unknown but constant emf ε and a negligible internal resistance.

Now, determine the equivalent resistance of the three resistors.

A) 12 Ω B) 10 Ω
C) 16 Ω D) 15 Ω
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 Ω

Explanation:

From the given circuit,

three_resistors_are_arranged_in_a_circuit_as_shown_above1559105964.PNG image

The resistors R1 and R2 are in parallel connection and R3 is in series with R1 & R2

The equivalent resistance of R1 and R2 is

Req = (12 × 4)/(12 + 4) = 3 Ω.

Adding R3 in series with the pair gives

R = Req + 9

R = 3 + 9

R = 12 Ω.
