23. ho = 5 cm ½
u = -20 cm
r = 30 cm
f = 30/2 = 15 cm
1/f = 1/u + 1/v
1/v = 1/f – 1/u = 1/15 – 1/-20 = 7/60
1/v = 7/60 ½
v = 60/7 = 8.57 cm
m = hi/ho = -v/u
-60/7 x -20 = hi/5
h1 = -60 x 5/-7x20 = 2.14 cm ½

(ii) The other name of this precipitation reaction is double displacement
reaction because ions or group of atoms in both the reactant molecules are 1
displaced by each other

25. (i) If 3 Ω & 6 Ω are connected in parallel 1

Equivalent resistance = 1/(1/3 + 1/6) = 2 Ω
This combination is connected in series with
2Ω=2Ω+2Ω=4Ω 1
(ii) All three resistance are connected in parallel.
Equivalent resistance = 1/(1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6) = 1 Ω
OR

32. Joules’ law 1
R = 8 Ω , I = 15 A
t = 2h = 7200s
H = I2Rt
 = 15x15x8x7200 J 1
P = H/t = 15x15x8x7200/7200
= 1800 J/s 1

33. i. Fleming’s left-hand rule 1

36. Power – Amount of electricity energy consumed in a circuit per unit time. ½+½
Circuit per unit time
SI unit – watt
1 unit = 1 Kwhr
1 kwhr = 3.6 x 106 J 1
(i)Energy consumed by 2 bulb/day
=2x50x6
=600 Wh = 0.6 Kwhr 1
(ii) Total energy consumption /day = 0.6 +1
= 1.6 Kwhr 1
(iii) Total energy consumption / month = 1.6 x 30
 = 48.0 Kwhr 1
∴Total cost = 48x8
= Rs 384
