1. If the length of a conductor is halved, it’s resistivity will

(a) increases (b)decreases
(c) first increases then decreases (d) remains the same.
2. Work function is highest for
(a) caesium (b)Platinum
(c) iron (d)Germanium
3. On increasing the temperature, the resistance of conductors will
(a) increases (b)decreases
(c) first increases then decreases (d)remains the same.
4. Kirchhoff's second rule is based on
(a)law of conservation of energy
(b) law of conservation of mass
(c) law of conservation of charge
(d) law of conservation of momentum.

Directions: in each of the following questions a statement of assertion is followed by a

statement of reason. While answering question, choose the correct one and mark it as
(a)if both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) if both assertion and reason true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(c) if assertion is true and reason is false.
(d) assertion is false but the reason is true.

5. Assertion: Ohm's law is applicable only at constant temperature.

Reason: Ohm's law is a fundamental law.
6. Assertion: An electric bulb becomes dim when an electric heater in parallel circuit is
switched on.
Reason: dimness decreases after sometime.
7. Assertion: A photon has no rest mass, yet it carries definite momentum.
Reason: Momentum of photon is due to its energy and hence its equivalent mass.
8. Assertion: when certain wavelength of light incident on a metal surface it eject electrons.
Reason: light has wave nature.
