Question 1
The balancing length for a cell is 560 cm in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of 10 ohm is connected in parallel to the cell the balancing length changes by 60 cm. The internal resistance of the cell in ohms is
SOLUTION
Solution : C
rR=l1−l2l2
here R=10 ohm
l1 = 560 cm
l2 =560-60=500 cm
r=R × (l1−l2l2)
=10 × (560−500500)
=1.2 ohm
Question 2
Eels are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques. The electroplaques in an eel are arranged in 100 rows, each row stretching horizontally along the body of the fish containing 5000 electroplaques. The arrangement is suggestively shown below. Each electroplaques has an emf of 0.15 V and internal resistance of 0.25Ω. The water surrounding the eel completes a circuit between the head and its tail. If the water surrounding it has a resistance of 500 ohm, the current an eel can produce in water is about
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Given problem is the case of mixed grouping of cells
So total current produced i=nER+nrm
Here m = 100, n = 5000, R = 500Ω
E = 0.15V and r = 0.25Ω
⇒ i=5000× 0.15500+5000×0.25100=750512.5≈1.5 A
Question 3
In Wheatstone's bridge P=9ohm, Q=11ohm, R=4ohm and S=6ohm. How much resistance must be put in parallel to the resistance S to balance the bridge
SOLUTION
Solution : C
PQ=RS′ (For balancing bridge)
⇒ S′=4× 119=449
⇒ 1S′=1r+16
⇒ 944−16=1r
⇒ r=1325=26.4 Ω
Question 4
For comparing the e.m.f.'s of two cells with a potentiometer, a standard cell is used to develop a potential gradient along the wires. Which of the following possibilities would make the experiment unsuccessful.
SOLUTION
Solution : D
The emf of the standard cell must be greater than that of experimental cells, otherwise balance point is not obtained.

SOLUTION
Solution : B
Applying Kirchhoff's law for the loops (1) and (2) as shown in figure For loop(1)
−2i1−2(i1−i2)+4=0⇒ 2i1−i2=2 ....(i)
For loop (2)
−2(i1−i2)+4i2−6=0 ⇒ −i1+3i2=3 ...(ii)
On solving equation (i) and (ii) i1=1.8A.
Question 6
The figure shows a circuit diagram of a ‘Wheatstone Bridge’ to measure the resistance G of the galvanometer. The relation PQ=RG will be satisfied only when
SOLUTION

In balance condition, no current will flow through the branch containing S.
Question 7
What will be the equivalent resistance of circuit shown in figure between points A and D
SOLUTION
Solution : C
The equivalent circuit of above fig between A and D can be drawn as
So Req=10+10+10=30Ω
Question 8
In the network shown in the figure each of resistance is equal to 2Ω. The resistance between A and B is
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Taking the portion COD is figure to outside the triangle (left), the above circuit will be now as resistance of each is 2Ω the circuit will behaves as a balanced wheatstone bridge and no current flows through CD. Hence RAB=2Ω
Question 9
A primary cell has an emf of 1.5 volts, when short-circuited it gives a current of 3 amperes. The internal resistance of the cell is
SOLUTION
Solution : C
iSC=Er⇒3=1.5r⇒r=0.5Ω
Question 10
A battery of internal resistance 4Ω is connected to the network of resistances as shown. In order to give the maximum power to the network, the value of R (in Ω) should be
SOLUTION
Solution : C
The equivalent circuit becomes a balanced wheatstone bridge
For maximum power transfer, external resistance should be equal to internal resistance of source
⇒(R+2R)(2R+4R)(R+2R)+(2R+4R)=4 i.e. 3R×6R3R+6R=4 or R=2Ω
Question 11
A torch bulb rated as 4.5 W, 1.5 V is connected as shown in the figure. The emf of the cell needed to make the bulb glow at full intensity is
SOLUTION
Solution : D
When bulb glows with full intensity, potential difference across it is 1.5 V. So current through the bulb and resistance of 1Ω are 3 A and 1.5 A respectively. So main current from the cell i = 3 + 1.5 = 4.5 A. By using E=V+ir⇒E=1.5+4.5×2.67=13.5 V.
Question 12
A group of N cells whose emf varies directly with the internal resistance as per the equation EN=1.5 rN are connected as shown in the following figure. The current i in the circuit is
SOLUTION
Solution : D
i=Eeqreq=1.5r1+1.5r2+1.5r3+......r1+r2+r3+......=1.5 amp.
Question 13
In the circuit shown here E1=E2=E3=2V and R1=R2=4Ω. The current flowing between point A and B through battery E2 is
SOLUTION
Solution : B
The equivalent circuit can be drawn as since E1 and E3 are parallely connected
So current i=2+22=2 Amp from A to B
Question 14
The magnitude and direction of the current in the circuit shown will be
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Current i=10−43+2+1=1A from a to b via e
Question 15
A wire of length L and 3 identical cells of negligible internal resistances are connected in series. Due to this current, the temperature of the wire is raised by ΔT in 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 2L. The temperature of wire is raised by same amount ΔT in the same time t. The value of N is
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Heat =mSΔT=i2Rt
Case I: Length (L) ⇒ Resistance = R and mass = m
Case II: Length (2L) ⇒ Resistance = 2R and mass = 2m
So m1S1ΔT1m2S2ΔT2=i21R1t1i22R2t2⇒mSΔT2mSΔT=i21Rti222Rt⇒i1=i2⇒(3E)R=(NE)2R⇒N=6
