Electricity Class 10 MCQ Questions With Answers
Question 1.
A cylindrical conductor of length T and uniform area of cross section A’ has resistance ‘R’. The area of cross section of another conductor of same material and same resistance but of length ’21’ is
(A) \(\frac{A}{2}\)
(B) \(\frac{3 A}{2}\)
(C) 2A
(D) 3A
Answer:
(C) 2A
Explanation:
Resistivity of the conductor in the first case, p = \(\frac{\mathrm{RA}}{l}\)
Resistivity of the conductor in second case, p = \(\rho=\frac{\mathrm{RA}^{\prime}}{2 l}\)
Since, both conductors are of same material and are at same temperature, so the resistivity of both the conductors will be same.
Therefore, from equations, (i) and (ii), we have :
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{RA}}{l}=\frac{\mathrm{RA}^{\prime}}{2 l}\)
=>A’ = 2A

Minimum resistance is obtained when resistors are connected in parallel combination. Thus, equivalent resistance obtained by connecting five resistors of resistance \(\frac{1}{5} \Omega\) each, parallel to each other :
\(\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{1_{5}}+\frac{1}{1_{5}}+\frac{1}{1_{5}}+\frac{1}{1_{5}}+\frac{1}{1 / 5} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{R}=\frac{5}{1 / 5}\)
=> \(\frac{1}{R}\) = \(\frac{25}{1}\)

Explanation:
As we know that,
Work done = Charge x Potential difference =>Work done = (Current x Time) x Potential Difference [∴ Charge = Current x time]
=> Potential difference \(=\frac{\text { Work done }}{\text { Current } \times \text { Time }}\)
Question 13.
If the current through a resistor is increased by 100% (assume that temperature remains unchanged), the increase in power dissipated will be
(A) 100%
(B) 200%
(C) 300%
(D) 400%
Answer:
(C) 300%
Explanation:
If is current and R is resistance then,
Power, P =I2R
Power in first case, P1 = I2R 100% increase in current means that current becomes 21
Power in second case, P2 = (2I)2R = 4I2R
Now, increase in dissipated power = P2 – P1
= 4I2R – I2R = 3I2R
Percentage increase in dissipated power = \(\frac{3 P_{1}}{P_{1}} \times 100\) = 300%
Question 14.
In an electrical circuit three incandescent bulbs A, B, and C of rating 40 W, 60 W, and 100 W, respec¬tively are connected in parallel to an electric source. Which of the following is likely to happen regard¬ing their brightness?
(A) Brightness of all the bulbs will be the same.
(B) Brightness of bulb A will be the maximum.
(C) Brightness of bulb B will be more than that of A.
(D) Brightness of bulb C will be less than that of B.
Answer:
(C) Brightness of bulb B will be more than that of A.
Explanation:
We know that power is defined as rate of doing work. A bulb consumes electric energy and produces heat and light. Now, bulb with more power rating will produce more heat and light or we can say that power rating of bulb is directly proportional to the brightness produced by bulb. Therefore, brightness of bulb B with power rating 60 W will be more than the brightness of bulb A having power rating as 40 W.
Question 15.
An electric kettle consumes 1 kW of electric power when operated at 220 V. A fuse wire of what rating must be used for it?
(A) 1 A
(B) 2 A
(C) 4 A
(D) 5 A
Answer:
(D) 5 A
Explanation:
Given that,
power = P = 1 kW = 1000 W
Voltage = V = 220
N0w,I = \(\frac{P}{V}\) = \(\frac{1000}{220}\) = 4.5A Now rating of fuse wire must be slightly greater than 4.5 A, that is, 5 A.

Question 3.
Assertion (A): Bending a wire does not affect electrical resistance.
Reason (R): Resistance of wire is proportional to resistivity of material.
Answer:
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Resistance of wire R = p \(\left(\frac{l}{A}\right)\) Where p is resistivity of material which does not depend on the geometry of wire. Since when wire is bent its, resistivity, length and area of cross-section do not change, therefore resistance of wire also remains same.
Question 4.
Assertion (A): Two resistance having value R each. Their equivalent resistance is\(\frac{R}{2}\).
Reason (R): Given Resistances are connected in parallel.
Answer:
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
When two resistances R1 and R2 connected in parallel than their equivalent resistance will be R = \(\frac{R_{1} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}\)
Question 5.
Assertion (A): Alloys are commonly used in electrical heating devices like electric iron and heater.
Reason (R): Resistivity of an alloy is generally higher than that of its constituent metals but the alloys have low melting points then their constituent metals.
Answer:
(C) A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
Alloys have high resistivity and high melting point as compared to pure metals. So alloys cannot easily bum or oxidize at higher temperature. Now as we want higher temperature in heating devices so we use alloys in heating devices.
Question 6.
Assertion (A): In a simple battery circuit the point of lowest potential is positive terminal of the battery.
Reason (R): The current flows towards the point of the lower potential as it flows in such a circuit from the positive to the negative terminal.
Answer:
(D) A is false and R is true.
Explanation:
In a simple battery circuit, the point of lowest potential is the negative terminal of the battery and the current flows from higher potential to lower potential.
Question 7.
Assertion (A): Electric appliances with metallic body have three connections, whereas an electric bulb has a two pin connection.
Reason (R): Three pin connections reduce heating of connecting wires.
Answer:
(C) A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
The metallic body of an electrical appliances is connected to the third pin which is connected to the earth. This is a safety precaution and avoids eventual electric shock. By doing this the extra charge flowing through the metallic body is passed to earth and avoid shocks. There is nothing such as reducing of the heating of connecting wires by three pin connections.
Question 8.
Assertion (A): The electric bulbs glow immediately when switch is ON.
Reason (R): The drift velocity of electrons in a metallic wire is very high.
Answer:
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
In a conductor there are large numbers of free electrons. When we close the circuit, the electric field is established instantly with the speed of electromagnetic wave which causes electron drift at every portion of the circuit. Due to which the current is set up in the entire circuit instantly. The current which is set up does not wait for the electrons flow from one end of the conductor to another end. It is due to this, the bulb glows immediately when switch is ON.

So, resistance = \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{4}\)
The total resistance of the wire when the resistance are arranged in parallel,
\(\frac{1}{R_{p}}=\frac{1}{\frac{R}{4}}+\frac{1}{\frac{R}{4}}+\frac{1}{\frac{R}{4}}+\frac{1}{\frac{R}{4}}+\frac{1}{\frac{R}{4}} \Rightarrow \frac{16}{R}\)
\(\frac{1}{R_{p}}=\frac{16}{R}\)
The resistance of the wire reduced by 16 times
