Commonly used heating element are made of:

  1. Iron

  2. Manganese

  3. Nichrome

  4. Platinum


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Because, alloy of nickel and chromium has high resistivity,

Why filament of electric bulb is made of tungsten

  1. Melting Point of filament is very high

  2. Resistance of filament is very less

  3. Both

  4. None


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The resistance of filament should be high so that it can produce heat and light and its melting point should also be high so that it does not melt at the high temperature at which it is producing light.


Answer-(A)

The operating temperature of the filament of lamp is ${ 2000 }^{ 0 }C$. The temperature coefficient of the material of filament is ${ 0.005 }^{ 0 }{ C }^{ -1 }$. If the atmospheric temperature is ${ { 0 }^{ 0 }C }$, then the current in the 100W-200W lamp when it is switched on is nearest to 

  1. 2.5 A

  2. 3.5 A

  3. 4.5 A

  4. 5.5 A


Correct Option: C

Which is not different between primary and secondary cell ?

  1. Reversibility of chemical reaction

  2. Rechargability of cell

  3. Supply of energy to external circuit

  4. Strength of current


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Both primary and secondary cells serve the purpose of supplying energy to external circuit. Chemical reactions are reversible and cell is rechargeable for only secondary cells.  Strength of current in primary cell is low and in secondary cell can be high or low.
