Question : 1

When electrical energy is converted into motion

a) Heat loss is 30 percent

b) There is no heat loss

c) Heat loss is 50 percent

d) Heat loss is 80 percent

Answer: (b)

Question : 2

Consider the following statements :

  1. An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit.
  2. A voltmeter can only be connected in series in the circuit.
  3. A voltmeter has low resistance.
Which of these statements) is/are correct?

a) 1 only

b) 1 and 2

c) 2 and 3

d) 3 only

Answer: (a)

If you connected a voltmeter in series all you are doing is measuring the difference in potential across a strand of wire which will be zero (or very near).

To measure voltage you connect the voltmeter in parallel so that you measure the voltage from the – to the + or the voltage drop across a load.

For a voltmeter the higher the resistance the more accurate it is.

Question : 3

An electric motor is a device

a) That works on the principle described by Fleming’s left hand rule

b) That converts electrical energy to mechanical energy

c) Both (a) and (b)

d) Neither (a) nor (b)

Answer: (c)

An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.

Question : 4

Which one among the following is the correct order of power consumption for light of equal intensity ?

a) CFL tube < Fluorescent tube < Light emitting diode < Incandescent bulb

b) CFL tube < Fluorescent tube < Incandescent bulb < Light emitting diode

c) Light emitting diode < CFL tube < Fluorescent tube < Incandescent bulb

d) Incandescent bulb < Light emitting diode < Fluorescent tube < CFL tube

Answer: (c)

Question : 5

Match list-I with list -II:

List I (Magnet) List II (Property)
A. Artificial magnet 1. Long lived
B. Permanent magnet 2. Last for infinitely long period
C. Temporary 3. Short lived magnet
D. Earth as a magnet 4. Induced magnet
Select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:

a) 2 1 4 3

b) 3 1 4 2

c) 3 4 1 2

d) 2 4 1 3

Answer: (b)

Question : 6

In a p-n junction

a) the p side is at higher electrical potential than n side

b) the n side is at higher electric potential than p side

c) the potential of p & n sides becomes higher alternately

d) both p & n sides are at same potential

Answer: (a)

Hint : For easy flow of current the p-side must be connected to +ive terminal of battery

i.e., it is connected to higher potential in comparison to n. This connection is called forward biased. In this case the input resistance is very low.

In reverse-biased, the p-side is connected to –ive terminal & n-side to (+ive) terminal to battery. In this case input resistance is very high.
