Filament of torch bulb is ?

  1. A metal case

  2. Metal tip at the centre of the base

  3. 2 thick wires

  4. Thin wires


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A filament of a bulb is spirally wounded wire inside the bulb supported by two thick wires at its ends. The filament is wire, which is mostly made up of tungsten. 

As electric current passes through the filament, it glows to produce light.

An inductor coil stores $U$ when a current is passed through it and dissipates heat energy at the rate of $P .$ The time constant of the circuit when this connected across a battery of zero internal resistance is:


  1. $\frac { 4 U } { P }$

  2. $\frac { U } { P }$

  3. $\frac { 2 U } { P }$

  4. $\frac { 2 P } { 6U }$


Correct Option: C

An electric circuit which starts from one terminal of a cell and ends at the other terminal of the cell without any break is called:

  1. open electric circuit

  2. closed electric circuit

  3. complete electric circuit

  4. both b and c


Correct Option: D

Five cells each of emf $\varepsilon $ and internal resistance r each are connected in series. If one cell is connected wrongly, then potential difference across this cell will be

  1. $\dfrac { 8\varepsilon }{ 5 } $

  2. zero

  3. $\dfrac { 4\varepsilon }{ 5 } $

  4. $\dfrac { 2\varepsilon }{ 5 } $


Correct Option: C

State whether given statement is True or False
We use battery cell in our everyday life ?

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We use battery cell in everyday life. This statement is true because battery cell is used on daily devices like remotes,Clocks, torch etc.

A wire of length $L$ and $3$ identical cells of negligible internal resistances are connected in series. Due to the current, the temperature of the wire is raised by $\Delta\ T$ in a time $t$. A number $N$ of similar cells is now connected in series with a wire of the same material and cross-section but of length $2\ L$. The temperature of the wire is raised by the same amount $\Delta\ T$ in the same time. The value of $N$ is

  1. $4$

  2. $6$

  3. $8$

  4. $9$


Correct Option: B

Two cells of emf's $3V$ and $3V$ have internal resistances  $1.5\Omega\ &\ 1\Omega$ are connected in parallel across $3\Omega,$ such that they send the current through $3\Omega$ in same direction calculate the p.d. across $3\Omega$ resistor.

  1. 3V

  2. 4V

  3. 1.5V

  4. 2.5V


Correct Option: A

How many cells each marked ( 12V - A) should be connected  in mixed  grouping  so that it may be marked as ( 48 V- 18 A)  

  1. 4

  2. 8

  3. 12

  4. 16


Correct Option: A

Why the bulb brighter in a simple circuit that has more cells?

  1. Because the flow of electricity is more

  2. Because the flow of electricity is same

  3. Because the flow of electricity is less

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A

Two Leclanche cells assisting each other could be balanced on a length $L$ of a potentiometer wire. If the current through the wire is halved, what will be balancing length for one Leclanche cell?

  1. $L/4$

  2. $L/2$

  3. $L$

  4. $2L$


Correct Option: B
