Sample Questions

1multiple choice
3 marks

A wire becomes 1/2 as thick after stretching, with volume unchanged. If its original resistance was 4 Ω, find the new resistance.

Show answer

64 Ω

If the wire becomes 1/2 as thick, the radius becomes half. Using R2/R1 = (r1/r2)^4, we get R2 = (2^4) × 4 Ω = 64 Ω.

2multiple choice

Three resistors of 2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 5 Ω are connected in series across a battery. Find the equivalent resistance.

Show answer

10 Ω

For series combination, equivalent resistance is the sum of all resistances: 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 Ω.

3multiple choice
3 marks

Three resistors of 2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 6 Ω are connected in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance.

Show answer

1 Ω

Use 1/R = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 = 1. So R = 1 Ω.

4multiple choice
3 marks

A bulb rated 60 W at 240 V is connected to its rated supply. Find the current through it.

Show answer

0.25 A

Use P = VI, so I = P/V = 60/240 = 0.25 A.
