Grade 10 – Physics - Worksheet


Electricity

1. How do we connect voltmeter and ammeter in an electric circuit? What is likely to happen if
the positions of these instruments are interchanged?
2. State the type of combination used for connecting different electric appliances in domestic
circuit. Give reasons.
3. Two students perform the experiments on series and parallel combination of two given
resistors R1 and R2 and plot the following V-I graphs. Which of the two diagrams correctly
represents the labels ‘series and parallel’ on the plotted curves? Justify your answer.

4. Explain the following:


(i) Copper and Aluminium wires are employed for electricity transmission.
(ii) Heating devices are made of an alloy rather than a pure metal.
(iii) Tungsten is used for filament of electric lamp.
5. (i) Derive an expression for Joule’s law of heating.
(ii) Give two examples for applications of heating effect of electric current.
6. 100J of work is done in transferring 20C of charge between two points in a conductor. Find
the resistance offered by the conductor, if a current of 2A flows through it.
7. Calculate the resistance of a metal wire of length 2m and area of cross section 1.55 x 10-6m2,
if the resistivity of the metal be 2.8 x 10-8Ωm?
8. A battery of 12V is connected to a series combination of resistors 3Ω, 4Ω, 5Ω and 12Ω. How
much current would flow through the 12Ω resistor?
9. Calculate the net resistance between the points a and b in the circuit diagram shown.

10. A torch bulb is rated 5V and 500 mA. Calculate its (i) power, (ii) resistance, (iii) energy
consumed when it is lighted for 4 hours.
