Good conductors have many loosely bound

  1. atoms

  2. molecules

  3. protons

  4. electrons


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Free electrons promote the flow of electricity.

The net e.m.f. of a normal dry cell is

  1. 2 volt

  2. 1 volt

  3. 1.5 volt

  4. 3.0 volt


Correct Option: C

The simplest way of maintaining a potential difference between the two ends of a conductor is

  1. to connect it to a battery or dry cell

  2. to bring the two ends of conductor near each other

  3. to mark the two ends of conductor away from each other

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A

In a simple voltaic cell, the negative electrode is of

  1. zinc

  2. copper

  3. carbon

  4. silver


Correct Option: A

Coating of iron with zinc is known as

  1. galvanization

  2. electroplating

  3. ionization

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A

Tungsten is mainly used for making filaments of electric bulbs because of its

  1. low cost

  2. high melting point

  3. high electrical conductivity

  4. low thermal conductivity


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The filaments in bulbs have to withstand high temperatures; hence a substance with high melting point is needed.

Ampere-second stands for the unit of

  1. power

  2. energy

  3. e.m.f.

  4. electric charge


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ampere- Unit of current Second= Unit of time Current* time= Charge

Chemical identity of an atom can be changed by

  1. changing the number of protons in an atom's nucleus

  2. changing the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus

  3. changing the number of neutrons and protons in an atom's nucleus

  4. chemical identity cannot be changed


Correct Option: A

For the movement of electrons between two points, there must be a

  1. temperature difference between two points

  2. potential difference between two points

  3. both points must be at the same potential

  4. electrons can even flow without any temperature and potential difference between two points


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Current flows only across a potential difference.

When a current flowing through a resistance increases four times, the heat developed will increase

  1. two times

  2. four times

  3. eight times

  4. sixteen times


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Energy = I2Rt

Voltage can be generated

  1. by rubbing certain types of materials against each other

  2. by means of chemical reactions

  3. by influence of magnetism on conductors

  4. all of these


Correct Option: D

The property of a material, when it opposes or limits the flow of electric current through it is called

  1. potential difference

  2. electric resistance

  3. conductivity

  4. power


Correct Option: B

Fuse wire is made up of

  1. 63% tin and 37% lead

  2. 63% lead and 37% tin

  3. 63% tin and 37% aluminium

  4. 63% lead and 37% aluminium


Correct Option: A

How many 100 watt bulbs may be safely used on 220 volt with five amperes fuse?

  1. 22

  2. 11

  3. 10

  4. 5


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We know, P=VI For ‘n’identical bulbs, Total power = n  x 100 watts n *100 = 220 volts x 5 amperes n = 220 x 5 / 100  =11

One should not connect a number of electric appliances to the same power sockets because

  1. this can damage the appliances

  2. this can damage the domestic wiring due to over-heating

  3. the appliances will not get full voltage

  4. the appliances will not get proper current


Correct Option: B

You are given three bulbs of 25, 40 and 60 watt all operating at 220 V. Which of the three bulbs has the lowest resistance?

  1. 60 watt bulb

  2. 40 watt bulb

  3. 25 watt bulb

  4. Data insufficient


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

P=V2/R Power is inversely proportional to the square of resistance.

Current always flows from

  1. high potential to low potential

  2. low potential to high potential

  3. both of the above

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A

If a magnet is cut into two pieces of equal length,

  1. both pieces will lose their magnetism

  2. one piece will act as north pole and the other as south pole

  3. both pieces will behave as complete magnets

  4. one of the pieces will lose its magnetism


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Magnetic monopoles do not exist. Magnets will form new north and south poles.

Find out the correct statement.

  1. A freely suspended bar magnet points north.

  2. A freely suspended bar magnet is constantly oscillating.

  3. A freely suspended bar magnet always points east.

  4. A freely suspended bar magnet will set itself at an angle to the horizontal.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A freely suspended magnet aligns itself to the earth's magnetic field. The north pole of magnet points towards the magnetic south pole of earth, which is at the geographical north.

When a bar magnet is immersed in a heap of iron fillings and is then taken out, it is observed that iron fillings stick to the surface of the bar magnet. The iron fillings would be observed to

  1. stick uniformly throughout the surface of the bar magnet

  2. stick randomly on the surface of bar magnet

  3. have maximum concentration at the two ends of the bar magnet

  4. have maximum concentration slightly away from the two ends of the bar magnet


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Magnets have maximum magnetic strength at the ends and the minimum strength towards the centre.
