Q51
A moving coil galvanometer, having a resistance G, produces full scale deflection when a current Ig flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into (i) an ammeter of range 0 to I0(I0 > Ig) by connecting a shunt resistance RA to it and (ii) into a voltmeter of range 0 to V (V = GI0) by connecting a series resistance RV to it. Then,
A RARV=G2{R_A}{R_V} = {G^2} and RARV=Ig(I0Ig){{{R_A}} \over {{R_V}}} = {{{I_g}} \over {\left( {{I_0} - {I_g}} \right)}}
B RARV=G2(IgI0Ig){R_A}{R_V} = {G^2}\left( {{{{I_g}} \over {{I_0} - {I_g}}}} \right) and RARV=(I0IgIg)2{{{R_A}} \over {{R_V}}} = {\left( {{{{I_0} - {I_g}} \over {{I_g}}}} \right)^2}
C RARV=G2(I0IgIg){R_A}{R_V} = {G^2}\left( {{{{I_0} - {I_g}} \over {{I_g}}}} \right) and RARV=(IgI0Ig)2{{{R_A}} \over {{R_V}}} = {\left( {{{{I_g}} \over {{I_0} - {I_g}}}} \right)^2}
D RARV=G2{R_A}{R_V} = {G^2} and RARV=(IgI0Ig)2{{{R_A}} \over {{R_V}}} = {\left( {{{{I_g}} \over {{I_0} - {I_g}}}} \right)^2}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Galvanometer is converted into ammeter of range 0 to I0 : (Io - Ig)RA = IgG \Rightarrow

RA=IgG(I0Ig){R_A} = {{{I_g}G} \over {\left( {{I_0} - {I_g}} \right)}}

............(

1) Galvanometer is converted into voltmeter of range 0 to V : V = Ig(RV + G) Also given, V = GI0 \therefore GI0 = Ig(RV + G) \Rightarrow

RV=G(I0Ig)Ig{R_V} = {{G\left( {{I_0} - {I_g}} \right)} \over {{I_g}}}

.........(2) From equation (1) and (2)

RARV=G2{R_A}{R_V} = {G^2}
RARV=(IgI0Ig)2{{{R_A}} \over {{R_V}}} = {\left( {{{{I_g}} \over {{I_0} - {I_g}}}} \right)^2}
Q52
A uniform metallic wire has a resistance of 18 Ω\Omega and is bent into an equilateral triangle. Then, the resistance between any two vertices of the triangle is -
A 12 Ω\Omega
B 2 Ω\Omega
C 4 Ω\Omega
D 8 Ω\Omega
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Req berween any two vertex will be

1Req=112+16Req.=4Ω{1 \over {{{\mathop{\rm R}\nolimits} _{eq}}}} = {1 \over {12}} + {1 \over 6} \Rightarrow {{\mathop{\rm R}\nolimits} _{eq.}} = 4\Omega
Q53
A 2 W carbon resistor is color coded with green, black, red and brown respectively. The maximum current which can be passed through this resistor is -
A 0.4 mA
B 20 mA
C 63 mA
D 100 mA
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

P = i2R. \therefore for imax, R must be minimum from color coding R = 50 ×\times 102

Ω\Omega

\therefore imax = 20mA

Q54
A current of 2 mA was passed through an unknown resistor which dissipated a power of 4.4 W. Dissipated power when an ideal power supply of 11 V is connected across it is -
A 11 × \times 10–5 W
B 11 × \times 10–3 W
C 11 × \times 105 W
D 11 × \times 10–4 W
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

P = I2R 4.4 = 4 ×\times 10-6 R R = 1.1 ×\times 106

Ω\Omega

P' =

112R{{{{11}^2}} \over R}

=

1121.1{{{{11}^2}} \over {1.1}}

×\times 10-6 = 11 ×\times 10-5 W

Q55
A resistor develops 500 J of thermal energy in 20 s when a current of 1.5A is passed through it. If the current is increased from 1.5A to 3A, what will be the energy developed in 20 s.
A 1000 J
B 2000 J
C 1500 J
D 500 J
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
H1=i12RΔt{H_1} = i_1^2R\Delta t
H2=i22RΔt{H_2} = i_2^2R\Delta t
H1H2=i12i22\Rightarrow {{{H_1}} \over {{H_2}}} = {{i_1^2} \over {i_2^2}}
500H2=(12)2\Rightarrow {{500} \over {{H_2}}} = {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^2}
H2=2000J\Rightarrow {H_2} = 2000J
Q56
An ideal battery of 4 V and resistance R are connected in series in the primary circuit of a potentiometer of length 1 m and esistance 5 Ω\Omega . The value of R, to give a potential difference of 5 mV across 10 cm of potentiometer wire, is :
A 480 Ω\Omega
B 495 Ω\Omega
C 490 Ω\Omega
D 395 Ω\Omega
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Let current flowing in the wire is i. \therefore i =

(4R+5)A\left( {{4 \over {R + 5}}} \right)A

If resistance of 10 m length of wire is x then x = 0.5

Ω\Omega

= 5 ×\times

0.11{{0.1} \over 1}
Ω\Omega

\therefore

Δ\Delta

V = P.d. on wire = i. x 5 ×\times 10-3 =

(4R+5)\left( {{4 \over {R + 5}}} \right)

.(0.5) \therefore

4R+5{{4 \over {R + 5}}}

= 10-2 or R + 5 = 400

Ω\Omega

\therefore R = 395

Ω\Omega
Q57
An electrical power line, having a total resistance of 2 Ω\Omega , delivers 1 kW at 220 V. The efficiency of the transmission line is approximately :
A 85%
B 96%
C 72%
D 91%
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

We know,

η=Pout(Pout+Ploss)×100\eta = {{{P_{out}}} \over {\left( {{P_{out}} + {P_{loss}}} \right)}} \times 100

Given, P=

vi=103vi = {10^3}

\therefore

i=1000220i = {{1000} \over {220}}

=

5011{{50} \over {11}}

A Power

loss=i2R=(5011)2×2loss = {i^2}R = {\left( {{{50} \over {11}}} \right)^2} \times 2

\therefore efficiency

=10001000+i2R×100=96%= {{1000} \over {1000 + {i^2}R}} \times 100 = 96\%
Q58
A galvanometer of resistance G is converted into a voltmeter of range 0 – 1 V by connecting a resistance R1 in series with it. The additional resistance that should be connected in series with R1 to increase the range of the voltmeter to 0 – 2 V will be :
A G
B R1
C R1 + G
D R1 - G
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

1 = ig(G + R1) ....(1) 2 = ig(R1 + R2 + G) ....(2) Doing (1)

÷\div

(2), we get

12=ig(G+R1)ig(G+R1+R2){1 \over 2} = {{{i_g}\left( {G + {R_1}} \right)} \over {{i_g}\left( {G + {R_1} + {R_2}} \right)}}

\Rightarrow R1 + R2 + G = 2R1 + 2G \Rightarrow R2 = R1 + G

C 3 × \times 10–3 A/div
D 333o A/div
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

figure of merit =

Iθ{I \over \theta }

=

6×1032{{6 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \over 2}

= 3 ×\times 10–3 A/div

Q60
Consider four conducting materials copper, tungsten, mercury and aluminium with resistivity ρ\rho C, ρ\rho T, ρ\rho M and ρ\rho A respectively. Then :
A ρ\rho C > ρ\rho A > ρ\rho T
B ρ\rho M > ρ\rho A > ρ\rho C
C ρ\rho A > ρ\rho T > ρ\rho C
D ρ\rho A > ρ\rho M > ρ\rho C

Option B
Solution

ρM = 98 × 10–8 ρA = 2.80 × 10–8 ρC = 1.72 × 10–8 ρT = 5.65 × 10–8 \therefore ρ\rhoM > ρ\rhoT > ρ\rhoA > ρ\rhoC
