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

A. 1.6 
B. 1.4
C. 1.2
D. 0.12

SOLUTION

Solution : C

rR=l1l2l2
here R=10  ohm
l1 = 560 cm
l2 =560-60=500 cm
r=R × (l1l2l2)
=10 × (560500500)
=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
  

A. 1.5 A
B. 3.0 A
C. 15 A
D. 30 A

SOLUTION

 1S=1r+16
 94416=1r
 r=1325=26.4 Ω

B. The galvanometer shows a deflection when switch S is open
C. The galvanometer shows no change in deflection whether S is open or closed
D. The galvanometer shows no deflection

A. 10Ω
B. 20Ω
C. 30Ω
D. 40Ω

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

A. 1Ω
B. 2Ω
C. 3Ω
D. 4Ω

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

A. 4.5 ohm
B. 2 ohm
C. 0.5 ohm

A. 49
B. 89
C. 2
D. 18

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

A. 4.5 V
B. 1.5 V
C. 2.67 V
D. 13.5 V

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+irE=1.5+4.5×2.67=13.5 V.

Heat =mSΔT=i2Rt
Case I: Length (L) Resistance = R and mass = m
Case II: Length (2L) Resistance = 2R and mass = 2m
