5.
(c) opposite to the electric field
Explanation: The electron always moves from negative to a positive potential, hence opposite to the direction of the electric
field.
6.
(b) CD
Explanation: From the graph part CD has negative slope, thus it has negative dynamic resistance.
7.
(b) The relation between voltage and current for a non-ohmic conductor is linear
Explanation: The conductance is the inverse of the resistance and the SI unit of the conductance is mho or Siemens (S).
The temperature dependence resistance is expressed by the following equation,
R(T) = R0[1 + α (T - T0)]
where R0​= reference resistance at T0​and α = temperature coefficient of resistance.
Thus, as the resistance is increasing with an increase in temperature, so the conductance will decrease with an increase in
temperature.
The resistance is inversely proportional to square of radius of the wire.
So when the radius is doubled, the resistance will be th of the original resistance.

The voltage-current relation for an ohmic conductor is linear but for a non-ohmic conductor, it is non-linear.
Hence option is correct.

14. (a) x will increase and y will decrease

Explanation: When resistance is joined in parallel with a voltmeter, the total resistance of the circuit decreases. The current
will increase, x will increase. The equivalent resistance of voltmeter decreases and hence the voltmeter reading y decreases.
15.
(c) 0.9 A
Explanation: Given: Capacitance of the capacitor (C) = 0.2 μF and emf of cell (E) = 6V. We know that the reactance of a
capacitor for a cell, which is a DC source, is infinity. Therefore, no current flows in 4Ω resistance. We also know that
resistances 2 Q. and 3 Q (both in the upper arm) are connected in parallel.
Therefore, their equivalent resistance (R ) = = 1.2Ω
′ 2×3

2+3

Now, R' and 2.8 Q, are in series combination. Therefore, equivalent resistance of the circuit,
R = R'+ 2.8 = 12+ 2.8 = 4 Ω
We also know that current drawn in the circuit,

(d) 200μC
Explanation:
Given circuit is

To find charge on capacitor, we need to determine voltage across it.

In steady state, capacitor will acts as open circuit and circuit can be reduced as

In series, R eq = 2Ω + 10Ω = 12Ω

In parallel, R eq
=
4×12

4+12
= 3Ω

In series, R eq = 6Ω + 3Ω = 9Ω

So, current in steady state, I = V

R
=
72

9
= 8A
72−VP
Now, by using current division, at point P, current in 6 Ω branch is 6Ω
=8A
⇒ Vp = 72 - 48 = 24 V

V −0 24−0
Current in 4 Ω branch is, I˙ 2 =
P

4
=
4
= 6Ω

So, current in 2 Ω resistance is I1 = 8 - I2 [∵ I = I1 + I2]

= 8 - 6 = 2A
∴ Potential difference across 10 Ω resistor is VQG = 2A × 10Ω = 20 V

Same potential difference will be applicable over the capacitor (parallel combination).
So, charge stored in the capacitor will be Q = CV = 10 × 10-6 × 20
⇒ Q = 2 × 10-4 C = 200 μC

26. (a) 3 E
Explanation: Given: Initial number of cells (n1) = 10; Potential of each cell = E
The internal resistance of each cell = r and
the final number of cell (n2) = 3.
We know from the Ohm's law, the total voltage of ten cells = 10 × E = 10 E and
the total resistance in ten cells = 10 × r = 10 r
Therefore current in the circuit

(Since the voltmeter is ideal, therefore it will read 3 E)

Explanation: Total emf = Ne

When n cells are reversely connected the emf of 2n cells gets cancelled.
29.
(d) R = r
Explanation: Cells in series.
Current through external resistance, I = nE

R + nr
nE
Cells in parallel, I = nR + r

According to problem,
nE nE
=
R + nr nR + r

R + nr = nR + r or R = r
30.
2E
(b) 4r + R

Explanation: When one cell is wrongly connected in a series of n cells each of emf E and internal resistance r, it will reduce
the effective emf by 2E i.e., the effective emf = nE - 2E whereas these are no effect on the total resistance of the cells.
Here, n = 4
∴ Effective emf = 4E - 2E = 2E

Total internal resistance of the cells = 4r

The current in the external circuit is I = 2E

4r + R

( + )

Total resistance in upper line AB = 4 Ω

Total resistance in lower line AD = 4 Ω
They are in parallel. Their total value = 2 Ω
As the resistance in AB and AD are equal, 2 A splits equally to 1 A and 1 A.
Current 1 A enters A and leaves C.
As the potential difference across 6 Ω and 3 Ω is the same, hence
6 × i1 = 3 × i2 and i + i2 = 1A
∴ i2 =

 VD = 0V
VE = 0V
VB = -4V
VA = 5V
So, a potential difference between points A and D
VA - VD = 5V

38.
(d) 1.5 A
Explanation: In each row all the 5000 electroplaques are connected in series.
Therefore, equivalent emf = 0.15 × 5000 = 750 V
Equivalent resistance = 0.25 × 5000 = 1250 Ω
All 100 rows are connected in parallel.
Therefore, voltage = 750 V
Equivalent resistance = = 12.50Ω

Explanation: For a Balanced Wheatstone’s bridge,
P R

As the bridge is balanced, no current will flow through the galvanometer. Thus, equivalent resistance,
(10 + 30)(30 + 90)
Reff = (10 + 30 + 30 + 90)

48. (a) end correction

Explanation: In the meter bridge experiment, it is assumed that the resistance of the L-shaped plate is negligible, but actually,
it is not so. The error created due to this is called the end error. To remove this the resistance box and the unknown resistance
must be interchanged and then the mean reading must be taken.
49.
(d) 20 Ω
Explanation: Given that in the first case:
First resistance (R1) = K1 + 10
Second resistance (R2) = K2
Position of null point (l1) = 50 cm
In second case:
First resistance (R'1) = K2

Second resistance (R'2) = K2

Position of null point (l2) = 40 cm
We know that in the first case, at null point condition,
R1 l1 K1 +10 50
= or = = 1
R2 100−l1 K2 100−50

or K2 = K1 + 10
