5. Two resistors, with resistances 5Ω and 10Ω respectively are to be connected to a battery of emf
6V so as to obtain :
(i) minimum current flowing
(ii) maximum current flowing
(a) How will you connect the resistances in each case ?
(b) Calculate the strength of the total current in the circuit in the two cases.

6.
(a) What is the ratio of potential difference and current known as?
(b) The values of potential difference V applied across a resistor and the corresponding values
of current I flowing in the resistor are given below :
V (volts) 2.5 5.0 10.0 15.0 20.0 25.0
I (amperes) 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0
Plot a graph between V and I, and calculate the resistance of the resistor.
(c) Name the law which is illustrated by the above V-I graph.
(d) Write down the formula which states the relation between potential difference, current and
resistance.
(e) The potential difference between the terminals of an electric iron is 240V and the current is
5.0A. What is the resistance of the electric iron?

7. A coil is connected to a galvanometer. When the N-pole of a magnet is pushed into the coil,
the galvanometer deflected to the right. What deflection, if any, is observed when :
(a) the N-pole is removed?
(b) the S-pole is inserted?
(c) the magnet is at rest in the coil?
State three ways of increasing the deflection on the galvanometer.

8. Raman is a student of class X. Raman’s mother was making tea in an old electric kettle having
metal case. She switched on the power supply to the electric kettle. When Raman’s mother
touched the metal case of working electric kettle unknowingly, she got a severe electric shock.
Raman put off the main switch quickly. After removing the kettle plug from socket, Raman
found that the connecting card was torn where it touched the metal case of the kettle. He also
found that through the red and black wires of connecting cord were firmly connected to the two
lower terminals of the power plug but the green wire of cord was not connected to the upper
terminal of the plug. Raman replaced the torn connecting cord and also connected the three
wires of cord firmly to the power plug terminals.
(a) Why did Raman put off the main switch quickly?
(b) What name is given to (i) red wire (ii) black wire, and (iii) green wire, of the connecting
cord?
(c) Which safety device was not working in electric kettle circuit which could have prevented
the electric shock?
(d) What values are displayed by Raman in this incident?

9. Define magnetic field lines. Describe an activity to draw a magnetic field line outside a bar
magnet from one pole to another pole.
