Total: 15
(a) List the factors on which the resistance of a uniform cylindrical conductor of a given material depends.
(b) The resistance of a wire of0.01 cm radius is 10 Ω . If the resistivity of the wire is 50 × 10 − 8 Ω m , find the length of this wire.
OR
(a) What is the meaning of electric power of an electrical? Write its SI unit.
(b) An electric kettle of2 kW is used for 2 h . Calculate the energy consumed in
(i) kilowatt hour and
(ii) joules.
(b) The resistance of a wire of

(a) What is the meaning of electric power of an electrical? Write its SI unit.
(b) An electric kettle of
(i) kilowatt hour and
(ii) joules.
Solution:
(a) Length of conductor, area of its crosssection and its material are the factors on which the resistance of a uniform cylindrical conductor of a given material depends.
(b)
R = 10 ohm ; r = 0.01 cm ;
ρ = 50 × 10 − 8 ohm metre
R = ρ l ∕ A =
10 =
l =
= 0.629 m
OR
(a) Power of electrical device means rate at which electric energy is consumed in an electric circuit. SI unit of power is watt (W).
(b) (i) Energy consumed= W = Power × time
= 2 kW × 2 h = 4 kWh
(ii)1 kWh = 3.6 × 10 6 J ;
So, 4 kWh = 4 × 3.6 × 10 6 J = 1.44 × 10 7 J
(b)
OR
(a) Power of electrical device means rate at which electric energy is consumed in an electric circuit. SI unit of power is watt (W).
(b) (i) Energy consumed
(ii)
