Q1. What is the relation between Resistance (R) and cross-sectional area (A) of a conductor?
(a) R ∝1/A
(b) R∝A
(c) R does not depend on A.
(d) None.
Ans: A
Exp:

 In general, then the resistance R is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area.

Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely
proportional to the area of the cross-section.
That is, R ∝ l/A. Hence Option A is correct.

Q2. The SI unit of the current density is :

(a) Amper /m3
(b) Amper /m
2
(c) Ampere/m
(d) None of these.
Ans: C
Exp:

 Current per unit area (taken normal to the current), I/A, is called current density and is
denoted by j. The SI units of the current density are Ampere /m2 . Hence, Option C is
correct.

Q3. The SI unit of Resistivity is :

(a) Ohm/m2
(b) Ohm-meter
(c) Ohm/m
(d) None of these.
Ans: B
Exp:

 Resistivity, commonly symbolized by the Greek letter rho, ρ, is quantitatively equal to the
resistance R of a specimen such as a wire, multiplied by its cross-sectional area A, and
divided by its length l; ρ = RA/l.
 The unit of resistance is the ohm. In the metre-kilogram-second (mks) system, the ratio
of area in square metres to length in metres simplifies to just metres. Thus, in the metre-
 kilogram-second system, the unit of resistivity is ohm-metre. Hence, Option B is
correct.
Q4. Which of the following is correct about Drift velocity of electrons?
(a) It is the highest velocity attained by electrons under the influence of electric field.
(b) It is independent of time.
(c) It is the lowest velocity attained by electrons under the influence of electric field.
(d) None of these.
Ans: B
Exp:

 Electrons move with an average velocity which is independent of time, although

electrons are accelerated. This is the phenomenon of drift and the velocity is called the
drift velocity. Hence, Option B is correct.
Q5. Which of the following is correct about Kirchoff laws?
(a) Sum of every voltage in the loop has to be equal to zero.
(b) Total current entering a junction or node is more than the charge leaving.
(c) Total current entering a junction or node is less than the charge leaving.
(d) None of these.
Ans: A
Exp:

 Kirchoff’s first law: The total current entering a junction or a node is equal to the charge
leaving the node as no charge is lost.
 Kirchoff’s Second law: The sum of the voltages around the closed loop is equal to null.
Hence, Option A is correct.
