5A fuse must be used.
4. State Joule’s law of heating. Express it mathematically.
Raghavendra Ans: Heat produced in a resistor is (i) directly proportional to the square of current for a

7. What are the advantages of parallel circuit over series circuit?
Ans: (i) Potential difference across each device in parallel circuit remains same but in series it
Laxmiprasad Naya̧k varies.
GHS (RMSA - (ii) If one device in series circuit is fused it affects the operation of other devices too.
kannada) Kengeri But in parallel circuit each device works independently.
Bengaluru Dist (iii) The total resistance in parallel circuit is decreased, this is helpful as different devices
have varying resistance and require different current to operate properly.
8. What are the characteristics of fuse wire? How is it useful?
Ramachandra Bhat Ans: (a) Low melting point (around 200oC) (b) High resistance compared to copper wire.
Govt High School It is always connected in series with the device, if a current larger than the specified
Byatarayanapura value flows through the circuit then, temperature of the fuse wire increases. This melts
Mysore Road the fuse wire, breaks the circuit and avoids any electric hazards.
Bengaluru Dist It works on heating effect of electric current.
9. Why is tungsten used in electric bulbs?
Ans: The melting point of tungsten is 3380oC and has high resistance. So that the electric
For more details energy can easily change into heat energy and then light energy.
10. Calculate the monthly bill for a heater of resistance 50𝜴, which is used on 220V
Visit our mains, such that its daily use is for 6 hours. The cost of electric energy is Rs 4 per kWh.
science blog Solution: Resistance of heater = 50 𝛺 , Potential Difference = 220V , time = 6 hrs
