(i) Since (length of the conductor) Length of wire C is more than A and B. Therefore wire C has higher resistance. (ii) Resistivity of all wires is same as material of all the wires is same.electrical Resistivity of a wire depends on the nature of the material and not on the dimensions of a wire. 6. All of them are made of copper,the resisvity remains same. Let the resistivity be (i) (ii) (iii) Conductor(b) has the highest resistance.

7. Resistance of heater coil, R As the coil is cut into two identical parts, resistance of each part When connected in parallel, the net resistance is given by Energy liberated 400J Energy liberated per second in the new combination is 400J 8. (i) As the total resistance (equivalent resistance) is 4, the 6 resistor cannot be in series as in series combination the equivalent resistance is greater than the largest individual resistance. So, it must be in parallel with the other resistors. In parallel connection, the equivalent resistance (4 ) has to be less than all the resistances. So, the resistors of 2 and 3 cannot be in parallel at one time with 6. So, the resistors have to be in a mixed combination. Let us consider the combination shown in the figure. The equivalent resistance between B and C (which are in parallel). The resistance between A and D 2 +2 4. So, the combination shown in the figure is true.

(ii) Here, R 1 2, R 2 3, R 3 6, and R 1 Since the equivalent resistance of the combination is of lesser value than any of the resistors of the combination, it is clear that the resistors should be connected in parallel. It can be further confirmed by using the formula 1 i.e, R1 Therefore, resistors should be connected in parallel. 9. Resistance R of a conductor depends upon length and area A of conductor. It has been experimentally confirmed that: R l, the lenth of the wire R, where A is the area cross-section of the wire Combining above, we have: R or R where is a constant called specific resistance or electric resistivity of the material of the conductor. If l 1, A 1, R. i.e. specific resistance (or electric resistivity) of a conductor is the resistance of a wire of unit length and a unit area cross-section. It may be defined as: Specific resistance of a conductor is the resistance of unit cube of the conductor. Unit of : 10. It is given that potential difference (V) 220 V.

When the heater is switched on in parallel, more current start flowing through the heater coil and current through the bulb filament decreases, making it dim. After some time, when the heater coil becomes hot its resistance increases. As a result, current through the heater coil decreases and hence,the current through the bulb filament increases and thus dimness of the bulb decreases. 13.

Hence power dissipated across the 2 resistor is directly given as: 8W Ratio 1:1 As an interesting observation might be that power dissipated in parallel circuit does not depend on the resistor connected in parallel,while in a series circuit,as the current flow is determined by all the resistors,power dissipation is dependent on the other resistors in the circuit. 14. Death may be caused if a heavy current flows through the body. Current flows not due to potential of the body but due to potential difference. When a person standing on earth touches a 220 V line, the potential difference of two points is 220 V [Since the potential of earth on which he stands is at 0 V potential] A bird however is at 11,000 V potential but no current flows through it. 15.

There are mainly two laws of refraction of light (i) The incident ray, the normal and the refracted ray, all lie in the same plane. (ii) If the ray goes from an optically rarer medium to an optically denser medium, it bends towards normal. When the light goes from air to glass, it bends towards the normal. However if the ray goes from an optically denser medium (glass) to an optically rarer medium (air), it bends away from the normal. (iii) Ratio of sine of angle of incidence to sine of angle of refraction is constant. i.e. constant, where is the refractive index of second medium with respect to first medium. 19.

Position of the object Between F and 2F Section C 26. Earth is surrounded by envelope of gases called atmosphere. At the time of sun-rise (or at sun-set), light has to travel greater thickness [AB at sun-rise and BC at sun-set] than what it covers, when sun is over-head at noon [it has to travel only DB]. The wavelength of blue colour is about half that of red, blue light is scattered nearly 16 times red. As a result, the sun appears red at sun rise or at sun-set due to negligible scattering of red in comparison with blue. Mob-9777702608 -ALL THE BEST--www.cbsecare.in 11 / 14
27. There is no change to the image distance in the eye when we increase the distance of an object from the eye. To see closer or distant object clearly, the eyes, due to its ability of accommodation, can increase or decrease focal length of its lens, so that the image is always formed at retina. The eye lens is composed of a fibrous, jelly-like material. To see closer or distant objects, focal length of its lenses can be increased or decreased to some extent by the contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscles. 28. In normal eye, the far point is infinity. The lens used should be such that an object at infinity forms virtual image at 1.2 m. Now, v -1.2 m, u, f? We know or f -1.2 m Power, P -0.83 D A concave (or divergent) lens of focal length 1.2 m and power - 0.83 D should be used to restore proper vision. 29. Here u - ; v - 40 cm., f?

or f - 40 cm - 0.4 m or P -2.5 D He should use concave or divergent lens of focal length -0.4 m and power -2.5 D. 30. (i) For distant vision f -18.2 cm (ii) For near vision f 66.7 cm 31. The pupil of the eye acts as a variable aperture whose size can be varied with the help of the iris. When the light is very bright, the iris contracts the pupil to allow less light to enter the eye. However in dim light the iris expands the pupil to allow more light to enter the eye. When we enter from a bright light area to a dim light area, the pupil is not able to expand quickly to allow more light into the eye. We are therefore not able to see the objects in dim light room momentarily. 32. It is that defect in the eye due to which a person is unable to distinguish between certain colours due to insufficient or no cone shaped cell on retina. We know there are three types of cone cells - one responding to blue, second to red and third to green colour. The colour blind persons do not possess some cone cells that respond to certain colours. Colour blindness is a genetic disorder caused due to inheritance. There is no cure to this defect. A colour blind person can seen everything clearly but is not able to distinguish between different colours. The founder of atomic theory of matter, Dalton was colour blind. 33. The ability of the human eye to continue to see the image of an object for a very short duration even after the removal of that object is called persistence of vision. It is due to persistence of vision that we are able to see movie pictures in a cinema hall. The pictures in the form of a long film are projected on the screen at a rate of about 24 pictures per second. Under these conditions, the image of one picture Mob-9777702608 -ALL THE BEST--www.cbsecare.in 13 / 14
persists on the retina of the eye till the image of the next picture falls on the screen, and so on. Due to this, the slightly different images of the successive pictures present on the film merge smoothly with one another and give us the feeling of continuity and moving images. 34. The defect of the vision here is hypermetropia (Longsightedness) Given that, u -25 cm and v -75 cm Using the formula, Therefore, - + Or f +37.5 cm Power of the lens + +2.67 D The + sign with f or the power indicates a convergent lens. 35. Presbyopia is due to decrease in elasticity of eye-lens. With age, the elasticity of eye lens decreases. The near point goes away from the eye and the far point comes near the eye. Due to this, a person suffering from this is not able to see near as well as far away objects clearly. It can be corrected by using bifocal lenses or using tow spects, one for reading purpose and one for seeing distant objects. Mob-9777702608 -ALL THE BEST--www.cbsecare.in 14 / 14
