At which condition metals have super-conductivity properties?

  1. At a very low temperature

  2. Below critical temperature

  3. At triple point

  4. Under the conditions of high temperature

  5. Under the conditions of high pressure


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The critical temperature for superconductors is the temperature at which the electrical resistivity of a metal drops to zero.

Which of the following is the application of Voltage Dependent Resistors?

  1. Overvoltage protection crowbar for power supplies.

  2. To prevent massive power fluctuations.

  3. To suppress surges.

  4. Better cuts on metals and the welding of dissimilar metals without the use of a flux.

  5. Series resistors or current-regulated power supplies.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A varistor remains non-conductive as a shunt-mode device during normal operation when the voltage across it remains well below its clamping voltage, thus varistors are typically used for suppressing line voltage surges.

Wheatstone bridge is a circuit used for determining the unknown _____________.

  1. inductance

  2. resistance

  3. voltage

  4. capacitance

  5. frequency


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An instrument or a circuit consisting of four resistors or their equivalent in series, used to determine the value of an unknown resistance when the other three resistances are known.

The SI unit of temperature co-efficient of resistance is ____________.

  1. per kelvin

  2. ohm-meters

  3. ohm

  4. ampere

  5. volt


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A ratio of increased conductor resistance per degree celsius rise in temperature. Most metals increase in resistance as temperature increases, giving them a positive temperature coefficient.

In which of the following, the resistance decreases with an increase in temperature?

  1. PTC thermistors

  2. NTC thermistors

  3. LDR

  4. LED

  5. LASCR


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

NTC thermistors are the usual type. This means that as the temperature of the environment rises, the resistance of the thermistor drops.

A light dependent resistor is known as ___________.

  1. photoresistor

  2. ceramic resistor

  3. fixed resistor

  4. carbon resistors

  5. trimmer resistor


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

LDR be variable resistor because its resistance varies with intensity of light

The properties of a fuse wire is/are ________.

  1. low resistivity

  2. high melting point

  3. low melting point and low resistivity

  4. high resistivity and low melting point

  5. low resistivity and high melting point


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A fuse wire should have a low melting point and should be connected in series with the appliance, also it should have a comparatively high resistance.

Ohm's law represents the graph as

  1. parabolic

  2. linear

  3. hyperbolic

  4. sine

  5. cosine


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The ratio of V/I is constant and when current is plotted as a function of voltage the curve is linear (a straight line).

The electromagnetic circuit breaker phenomenon is related to which device?

  1. Fuse

  2. Toggle switch

  3. Resistor

  4. Relay

  5. Inductor


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Circuit breaker breaks the circuit when it senses any abnormal condition in the circuit using relay. Relay is a very important component in a circuit breaker.

Positive electrode is called ____________.

  1. anode

  2. cathode

  3. anode rays

  4. cathode rays

  5. auxiliary electrode


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An anode is positively charged.

If a circuit containing two unequal resistors is connected in parallel then _____________.

  1. the voltage is same across both the resistors

  2. the current is same and voltage is different in the resistance having more value

  3. the current is same in both resistors

  4. the current is flow less in both resistors

  5. the voltage drops are different across both the resistors


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If one of the parallel resistors shorted out, then the voltage across all of them would be zero (short) volts. Since,  the voltage across the other resistors is zero, the current would also be zero.

What is the current in the resistor if the color code is red, orange, orange, silver if the resistor is connected across a 40 V source?

  1. 1.74 mA

  2. 1.21 mA

  3. 1.18 mA

  4. 0.1162 A

  5. 57.5 A


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

According to resistor color code RED is 2 orange 3 and third orange 10 to the power of that value so 10000 so R= 23000 I= V/R= 40/23000= 1.74 mA.

Calculate the voltage source for a circuit carrying 2 A of current through a 34 ohm resistor?

  1. 68 v

  2. 0.058 v

  3. 17 v

  4. 5.8 m v

  5. 0.029 v


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

According to ohms law, V= IR. Where V= IRV = 34*2.V = 68 Volts.

What is the approximate resistance setting of a rheostat in which 750 mA of current flows with a 150 V source?

  1. 5 m ohm

  2. 5 Kohm

  3. 2 ohm

  4. 200 ohm

  5. 0.002 ohm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

I= 750mA, I= 750*10^3A, V= 150V,R= V/I; R= 150/(750*10^3); R= 200 ohm.

Calculate the resistance of the bulb if the current through bulb is 30 mA and the total battery voltage is 4.5 V?

  1. 150 ohm

  2. 0.15 ohm

  3. 6.66 m ohm

  4. 6.66 ohm

  5. 666 ohm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

V = IR. R = V/I R = 4.5/30 *10-3  R = 150 Ohm.
