Question 21 Mark
A nichrome wire of length $l$ and area of cross-section $a / 4$ has a resistance R . Another nichrome wire of length $3 l$ and area of cross-section $\frac{a}{2}$ has a resistance of $R _1$. Find the ratio of $R _1: R$.
Answer
$\begin{array}{l} R =\rho \cdot \frac{l}{\frac{a}{4}}=4 \times \rho \cdot \frac{l}{a} ; \quad R _1=\rho \cdot \frac{3 l}{\frac{a}{2}}=6 \times \rho \cdot \frac{l}{a} \\ \text { Now, } \frac{ R _1}{ R }=\frac{6 \rho \frac{l}{A}}{4 \rho \frac{l}{A}}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2} \Rightarrow \therefore R _1: R =3: 2\end{array}$

Question 31 Mark
What are ohmic and non ohmic resistance? Give example of each.
Answer
Ohmic resistances are the resistances which obey Ohm's law, i.e., the value of V/I is a constant quantity for all values of V and I . The graph between potential difference and the current flowing through a conductor, is a straight line. Examples: Copper and aluminium.
The resistors which do not obey Ohm's law are known as non-ohmic resistances. The graph between potential difference and current for such resistors is not a straight line. Example : ionic conductors, electronic valves, coil of an electromagnet.

Question 41 Mark
What is a superconductor? Name two materials and the temperature at which they become superconductors.
Answer
Superconductors are the substances, whose resistance is almost zero. Mercury is a superconductor at temperature below 4.2 K. Lead is a superconductor below 7.25 K .

Question 51 Mark
Define quantity of charge. States its practical unit and define it.
Answer
The number of charges which drif from a higher to a lower potential is called quantity of charge. The unit of quantity of electric charge is coulomb (C).
1 C is the quantity of electric charge which will deposit 0.00118 g of silver on the cathode, when passed through silver nitrate solution.

Question 61 Mark
(a) In which direction conventional current and electronic current flow from a source of electricity?
(b) Name two materials whose resistance remains the same with the rise in temperature.
Answer
(a) Conventional current flows from higher potential (positive terminal) to a lower potential (negative terminal). Electronic current flows from lower potential to a higher potential i.e., from negative terminal to positive terminal.
(b) Manganin, constantan
