A light bulb rated 60W, 120V is connected to a 120V supply. The resistance of the bulb is:
A 120Ω
B 240Ω
C 60Ω
D 180Ω
Correct Answer:  B. 240Ω
EXPLANATION

R = V²/P = (120)²/60 = 14400/60 = 240Ω

Test
The resistivity of a material depends on:
A Length of the conductor
B Cross-sectional area of the conductor
C Temperature and nature of the material
D Both length and cross-sectional area
Correct Answer:  C. Temperature and nature of the material
EXPLANATION

Resistivity is an intrinsic property depending only on the material type and temperature, not on geometry

Test
A battery of EMF 12V and internal resistance 2Ω is connected to an external resistance of 4Ω. The current flowing through the circuit is:
A 2A
B 3A
C 4A
D 6A
Correct Answer:  A. 2A
EXPLANATION

I = E/(R + r) = 12/(4 + 2) = 12/6 = 2A

Test
In a circuit, three resistors of 2Ω, 3Ω, and 6Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is:
A
B 11Ω
C 0.5Ω
D 1.5Ω
Correct Answer:  A. 1Ω
EXPLANATION

1/R_eq = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1. Therefore R_eq = 1Ω

Test
In a circuit with pure resistance, the phase difference between voltage and current is:
A
B 90°
C 45°
D Variable
Correct Answer:  A. 0°
EXPLANATION

In a purely resistive circuit, voltage and current are in phase, so phase difference is 0°. V = IR is always satisfied

Test
The temperature coefficient of resistance for a conductor is positive. This means:
A Resistance increases with temperature
B Resistance decreases with temperature
C Resistance is independent of temperature
D Resistance becomes zero at high temperature
Correct Answer:  A. Resistance increases with temperature
EXPLANATION

Positive temperature coefficient means R = R₀(1 + αΔT) where α > 0, so resistance increases with increasing temperature

Test
If the cross-sectional area of a wire is doubled while keeping length and material constant, how does resistivity change?
A Doubles
B Halves
C Remains unchanged
D Becomes zero
Correct Answer:  C. Remains unchanged
EXPLANATION

Resistivity is a material property independent of shape and size. It depends only on the nature of material and temperature

Test
An electric heater rated 500W, 250V is used for 4 hours daily. The energy consumed in one day is:
A 2 kWh
B 4 kWh
C 8 kWh
D 10 kWh
Correct Answer:  A. 2 kWh
EXPLANATION

Energy = Power × Time = 500W × 4h = 2000Wh = 2 kWh

Test
The internal resistance of a Leclanche cell is approximately:
A 0.1Ω
B 1-2Ω
C 10Ω
D 100Ω
Correct Answer:  B. 1-2Ω
EXPLANATION

Standard Leclanche cells have internal resistance in the range of 1-2Ω depending on size and condition

Test
In carbon resistors, color bands are used for identification. What does the third band represent?
A First digit
B Second digit
C Multiplier (power of 10)
D Tolerance
Correct Answer:  C. Multiplier (power of 10)
EXPLANATION

Standard color code: 1st band = first digit, 2nd band = second digit, 3rd band = multiplier, 4th band = tolerance
