through the circuit is 0.5 A. what is the resistance of the resistor
ANS: 12 Ω
3. What is the current flowing through a conducting wire. If the potential
difference across its ends is 2V and has a resistance of 3Ω
ANS: 0.67A
4. Two cells each of 1.2 V and ԑ.8 V are connected in series to a resistor. If a
current of 2A passes through the cell. Find the resistance of the resistor
ANS: 2.5Ω
 Round two (speed race)
Preamble to all schools
1. Why is it easy to slip on a wet floor? Ans wet surface has less friction as
compared to a dry surface. That is why we are likely to slip while
walking on a wet floor.
2. Why does stone sinks in water?
Ans Stone sinks in water due to the fact that the density of stone is more
than the density of water, and hence it sinks.
3. A body of mass 50kg is placed on a wall of height 15m above the ground.
Calculate the potential energy of the object (g = 10ms-2)
ANS: 7500J
4. A block of mass 10kg is suspended from a spring. The height of the spring is
5m. calculate the force acting on the block( take g = 10ms-2)
ANS: 100N
5. A body has a potential energy of 60 J. if the mass of the body is 5Kg. find
the height of the body(take g = 10ms-2)
ANS: 1.2 m
