SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Resistance (R)=ρL/A
From this relation we can understand that the resistance also depends on length and area of the conductor. because in question it is not given that area and length are constant or any dependence of them over resistance.
So, we cannot deduce the values of resistivity directly from the values of the resistance. Hence correct option is D.

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Power dissipated,
P=V^2/R=V^2×1/R=V^2 G

S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Current, i=dq/dt=d/dt (q)=d/dt (6t^2-12t)=(12t-12) mA
At t = 3s, i = 12 × 3 – 12 = 36 – 12 = 24 mA

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Total conductance, G_T = G₁ + G₂ + G₃ = 0.5 + 0.3 + 0.2 = 1 S
∴ Current in G₁ = 4×G_1/G_T =4×0.5/1=2 A

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Since the bridge is balanced, there is no current in the branch containing galvanometer.
Therefore, whether the branch containing galvanometer is shorted or open-circuited, there will be no change in currents or voltages anywhere in the circuit.

S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Circuit current, I=2E/(R + r_1 + r_2 ); Drop across first cell = E – Ir₁
It is given that: E – Ir₁ = 0
or,E-(2Er_1)/(R+r_1+r_2 )=0
∴ R = r₁ – r₂

S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. A linear circuit is an electric circuit in which circuit parameters (Resistance, inductance, capacitance, waveform, frequency etc.) are constant. In other words, a circuit whose parameters are not changed with respect to Current and Voltage is called Linear Circuit.

S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. V_avg=(2V_m)/π

S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Under maximum power transfer, R_L=R_Th and voltage across R_L=V_Th/2.
∴P_(max.)=(V_Th/2)²/R_Th =(40/2)²/10=40 W

S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. Under maximum power transfer, R_L=R_N. Therefore, the Norton current will divide equally between R_L and R_N so that current through R_L is I_N/2.
