2. What is the difference between resistance and resistor?

3. What are the factors on which the resistance of conductor depends? Give
the corresponding relation.

4. Calculate the resistance of a 2m long nichrome wire of radius 0.321mm.


Resistivity of nichrome is 15 x 10-6 Ω m. If the potential difference of 10v is
applied across this wire, what will be the current in the wire?

i) Refrigerator of rating 400 W for 10 hours each day.

ii) Two electric fans of rating 80 W each for 12 hours each day.

iii) Six electric tubes of rating 18 W each for 6 hours each day.

Calculate the electricity bill of the house hold for the month of June if
the cost per unit of electric energy is Rs. 3
