(b) 200%

(c) 300%

(d) 400%

6. How does use of fuse wire protect electrical appliances?

7. Calculate the resistance of an electric bulb which allows a 10A current when connected to a 220V power source?

8. (i) Identify the V-I graphs for ohmic and non-ohmic materials.

(ii) Material downloaded from         (ii) Give one example of each.

9. What do the following symbols represent in a circuit? Write the name and one function of each?

10. Two metallic wires A and B are connected in second wire A has length l and radius r, while wire B has length 2l and radius 2r. Find the ratio of total resistance of series combination and the resistance of wire A, if both the wires are of same material?

11. Should the heating element of an electric iron be made of iron, silver or nichrome wire? Justify giving three reasons?

12. (a) Define electric resistance of a conductor?       

(b)A wire of length L and resistance R is stretched so that its length is double and the area of cross section is halved. How will its         (i) resistance change     (ii) resistivity change?

13. Two resistor of resistance R and 2R are connected in parallel in an electric circuit. Calculate the ratio of the electric power consumed by R and 2R?
