medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
To find the value of R required to make the galvanometer measure up to 40 V, we can use the following formula for a series circuit involving a galvanometer
V = I ( R + r )
R = \(\frac{\text{V}}{\text{I}}\) - r
where R = resistance in series = ?, V = total voltage = 40V, I = current through galvanometer = 20Am = 0.02A and r = internal resistance = 10\(\Omega\)
R = \(\frac{40}{0.02}\) - 10
R = 2000 - 10 = 1990\(\Omega\)

A refrigerator uses 150W. If it is kept on for 336 hours non-stop, what is the energy consumed in KWh?
A
60.20KWh
B
50.40KWh
C

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Power = \(\frac{\text{Energy consumed}}{\text{time}}\)
150W → 0.150KW, time = 336hrs.
Energy consumed in KWh = 0.150 x 336 = 50.40KWh

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The balance length of a potentiometer is directly proportional to the e.m.f
Thus, \(\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{E_1}{E_2}\)
\(L_2 = L_1\times \frac{E_2}{E_1}\)
\(L_2 = 75 \times \frac{2.295}{3.06}\)
= 75 x 0.750 = 56.25cm

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
At resonance, the circuit's impedance is at its lowest (equal to the resistance), which results in the highest current flow. This condition is achieved when the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are equal, causing them to cancel each other out.
