1. Without referring to the formula C = 0A/d. Explain why the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor
reduces on increasing the separation between the plates?
2. How does the relaxation time of electron in the conductor change when temperature of the conductor
decreases.
3. The emf of the driver cell (Auxiliary battery) in the potentiometer experiment should be greater than emf of
the cell to be determined. Why?
4. You are required to select a carbon resistor of resistance 47k + 10% from a large collection. What should be
the sequence of color bands used to code it?
5. Two wireS one of copper and other of manganin have same resistance and equal length. Which wire is
thicker?
6. V vs I graph for a metallic wire at two different temperatures T1 and T2 is as shown in the figure. Which of
the two temperatures is higher and why?
11. A copper wire of resistance R is uniformally stretched till its length is increased to n times its original
length. What will be its new resistance?
12. When does the terminal voltage of a cell become (i) greater than its emf (ii) less than its emf?
13. A car battery is of 12V. Eight dry cells of 1.5 V connected in series also give 12V, but such a combination is
not used to start a car. Why?
14. State the condition under which the terminal potential difference across a battery and its emf are equal.
15. State the condition for maximum current to be drawn from a cell.
