UNIT TEST SAMPLE PAPER II-2023-24

Subject: PHYSICS Max. Marks: 16

Grade: 10 Time: 30 Minutes
General Instructions:

1) Bulbs B1 and B2 are exactly identical. When the key is pressed the reading of the ammeter 1
will

2) A student carries out an experiment and plots the V–I graph of three samples of nichrome 1
wire with resistances R1, R2 and R3 respectively. Which of the following is true?

3) A cell, a resistor, a key and ammeter are arranged as shown in circuit diagrams. The current 1
recorded in the ammeter will be

 (a) maximum in (i)
(b) maximum in (ii)
(c) maximum in (iii)
(d) same in all three circuits
4) Assertion (A) : The wires supplying current to an electric heater are not heated appreciably. 1
Reason (R) : Resistance of connecting wires is very small and H R.
5) Show that how would you join 3 resistors each of resistance 9 Ω so that the equivalent 2
resistance of the combination is (i) 13.5 Ω (ii) 6 Ω.
6) A bulb is rated 40W 220V. Find the current drawn by it when it is connected to a 220V 2
supply. Also find its resistance. If the given bulb is replaced by a bulb of rating 25W 220V
will there be any change in the value of current and resistance? Justify your answer and
determine the change.
7) A 4 Ω resistance wire is doubled on it. Calculate the new resistance and resistivity of the 3
wire.
8) a) Two electric bulb rated 100W 220V and 60W 220V are connected in parallel to an 5
electric mains of 220V. Find the current drawn by the bulb from the mains
b) Study the following circuit and find:
(i) Current in 12 Ω resistor
(ii) Difference in the readings of A1 and A2 if any
