Question : 26

The part of a transistor which is most heavily doped to produce large number of majority carriers is

a) base

b) collector

c) emmiter

d) can be any of the above three

Answer: (c)

Question : 27

The heating element of an electric heater should be made with a material, which should have

a) high specific resistance and low melting point

b) low specific resistance and low melting point

c) high specific resistance and high melting point

d) low specific resistance and high melting point

Answer: (c)

A heating wire should be such that it produces more heat when current is passed through it and also does not melt.

It will be so if it has high specific resistance and high melting point.

Question : 28

Consider the following statements :

  1. An ammeter should have low resistance
  2. An ammeter should have high resistance
  3. A voltmeter should have low resistance
  4. A voltmeter should have high resistance
Which of the statements are correct ?

a) 2 and 3

b) 1 and 4

c) 1 and 3

d) 2 and 4

Answer: (b)

Ammeter is connected in series within the circuit. Therefore, the net resistance of the circuit increases and current to be measured decreases, so ammeter should have low resistance.

On the other hand voltmeter is connected in parallel within the circuit. This changes the overall current in the circuit and hence, the potential difference to be measured is also changed to minimise the error, so the equivalent resistance of the voltmeter should be large.

Question : 29

p-n junction diode works as a insulator, if connected

a) in forward bias

b) in reverse bias

c) to A.C.

d) None of these

Answer: (b)

In reverse bias no current flows.

Question : 30 [NDA]

An object is kept 5 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. What will be the nature of the image?

a) Real, not magnified

b) Virtual, not magnified

c) Virtual, magnified

d) Real, magnified

Answer: (c)
