Q.241 Medium Current Electricity
In a circuit with capacitors, which quantity is continuous across the capacitor?
A Voltage
B Charge
C Current
D Power
Correct Answer:  C. Current
EXPLANATION

In DC circuits, current is continuous (same) through all series elements including capacitors in steady state. However, in AC circuits, current flows through capacitors.

Q.242 Medium Current Electricity
A battery of EMF 10V supplies current to a circuit. If the voltage across external resistance is 9V, what is the internal resistance if external resistance is 90Ω?
A
B 10Ω
C
D 12Ω
Correct Answer:  B. 10Ω
EXPLANATION

V = E - Ir. 9 = 10 - I×r. Current I = V/R = 9/90 = 0.1A. So 9 = 10 - 0.1r, giving r = 10Ω

Test
Q.243 Medium Current Electricity
In a meter bridge experiment, the null point is obtained at 40 cm from the left end. If the left resistance is 8Ω, what is the right resistance?
A 12Ω
B 15Ω
C 20Ω
D 24Ω
Correct Answer:  A. 12Ω
EXPLANATION

In meter bridge: R₁/R₂ = l₁/(100-l₁). So 8/R₂ = 40/60, giving R₂ = 12Ω

Test
Q.244 Medium Current Electricity
A nichrome wire and a copper wire of same length and area are connected in series. Which experiences greater heat dissipation?
A Nichrome wire
B Copper wire
C Both equally
D Depends on applied voltage
Correct Answer:  A. Nichrome wire
EXPLANATION

Heat dissipated H = I²Rt. Since same current flows through both and nichrome has higher resistivity than copper (higher R), nichrome dissipates more heat.

Test
Q.245 Medium Current Electricity
A potentiometer wire of length 100 cm has resistance 10Ω. A standard cell of EMF 1.5V is balanced at 60 cm. What is the EMF of unknown cell if it balances at 80 cm?
A 2V
B 1V
C 2.5V
D 3V
Correct Answer:  A. 2V
EXPLANATION

E₁/E₂ = l₁/l₂. So E₂ = E₁(l₂/l₁) = 1.5(80/60) = 2V

Test
Q.246 Medium Current Electricity
A cell of EMF E and internal resistance r is connected to an external resistance R. The terminal voltage V is given by:
A V = E
B V = E - I(R+r)
C V = E - Ir
D V = E - IR
Correct Answer:  C. V = E - Ir
EXPLANATION

Terminal voltage V = E - Ir, where I is the current through the circuit. The voltage drop occurs only across internal resistance.

Test
Q.247 Medium Current Electricity
In a Wheatstone bridge, if P/Q = R/S, then the current through the galvanometer is:
A Maximum
B Zero
C Depends on battery EMF
D Cannot be determined
Correct Answer:  B. Zero
EXPLANATION

The bridge is balanced when P/Q = R/S. In balanced condition, potential difference across galvanometer is zero, hence no current flows through it.

Test
Q.248 Medium Current Electricity
A wire of length L and cross-sectional area A has resistivity ρ. If the wire is stretched to 2L without change in volume, what will be its new resistance?
A 4R where R is original resistance
B 2R where R is original resistance
C R/2 where R is original resistance
D R/4 where R is original resistance
Correct Answer:  A. 4R where R is original resistance
EXPLANATION

When stretched to 2L, volume remains constant. New area A' = A/2. New resistance R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4ρL/A = 4R

Test
Q.249 Medium Current Electricity
A 100Ω resistor and a 200Ω resistor are connected in parallel, and this combination is in series with a 50Ω resistor. Total resistance is:
A 350Ω
B 116.67Ω
C 133.33Ω
D 150Ω
Correct Answer:  B. 116.67Ω
EXPLANATION

Parallel: 1/R_p = 1/100 + 1/200 = 3/200, so R_p = 66.67Ω. Total = 50 + 66.67 = 116.67Ω

Test
Q.250 Medium Current Electricity
Three cells of EMF 2V, 4V, and 3V with negligible internal resistance are connected in series, opposing each other. Net EMF is:
A 9V
B 3V
C 1V
D −1V
Correct Answer:  C. 1V
EXPLANATION

Taking one direction as positive: 2 + 4 - 3 = 3V or 2 - 4 + 3 = 1V. Net EMF = 1V (assuming standard configuration)
