7. Assertion: Electric appliances with metal body has three electrical connection but an
electrical bulb has two electrical connection.
Reason: Three pin connections reduce chance of electric shock.
Reason: The relaxation time depends on the velocities of electrons and ions.The applied
electric field brings a very insignificant change in the velocities of electrons whereas on
varying the temperature the velocities of electrons and ions are changed very significantly .

17. Assertion : In a simple battery circuit the point of lowest potential is positive terminal of
the battery
Reason :The current flows towards the point of the higher potential as it flows in such a
circuit from the negative to the positive terminal.
18. Assertion : The temperature coefficient of resistance is positive for metals and negative for
20. Assertion : There is no current in the metals in the absence of electric field.
Reason : Motion of free electron are randomly.
23. Assertion : An electric bulb becomes dim, when the electric heater in parallel circuit is
switched on.
Reason : Dimness decreases after sometime.
24. Assertion: The 200 W bulbs glow with more brightness than 100 W bulbs.
Reason: A 100 W bulb has more resistance than a 200 W bulb.
25. Assertion: Fuse wire must have high resistance and low melting point.
Reason: Fuse is used for small current flow only.
26. Assertion: The I-V characteristics of a resistor is observed to deviate from a straight line for
higher value of current.
Reason: For higher value of current, the resistor gets heated and consequently its resistance
increases.
27. Assertion : A bulb becomes dim when another bulb of same power is connected in parallel
circuit is switched on.
Reason: Current through each bulb is different in both bulbs.
28. Assertion: In potentiometer driving cell emf should be greater than the emf’s of the primary
cells.
Reason: It is so to obtain balance point on potentiometer wire.
29. Assertion: Kirchhoff’s junction law follows from the conservation of charges.
Reason: Kirchhoff’s loop law follows from the conservation of energy.
30. Assertion: Two non ideal batteries are connected in series. The equivalent internal
resistance is smaller than the either two internal resistances.
Reason: The equivalent emf is larger than either of the two emfs.
32. Assertion: A high resistance is connected in series with the galvanometer of meter bridge.
Reason : As resistance increases, the current also increases.
34. Assertion (A): The same amount of current flows through the filament and line wire. But
more heat is produced in filament.
Reason (R): Filament is made of material having high resistance and high melting point.
35. Assertion (A): Kirchhoff’s voltage law indicates that the electric field is conservative.
Reason (R): Potential difference between two points in a circuit does not depend on the
path.
36. Assertion : Though the direction of electric current is well defined, yet it is treated as a
scalar.
Reason : Electric current does not follow the laws of vector addition.
37. Assertion : In a meter bridge , the length of wire can vary from 1 m to several meters.
Reason : Greater the length , better is the accuracy.
38. Assertion : The effective resistance in parallel combination decreases.
Reason : In parallel combination , effective area of cross-section increases.
39. Assertion : When a wire is stretched to three times its length, its resistance becomes 9
times .
Reason : R = .(l/A).
40.Assertion : In a simple battery circuit the point of lowest potential is positive terminal of
the battery.
Reason : The current flows towards the point of the higher potential as it flows in such a
circuit from the negative to the positive terminal
41. Assertion: A domestic electric appliance working on a three pin, will continue working if
the thick pin is removed.
Reason: The thick pin is used only as a safety device.
42. Assertion: Conductivity of a metal is much higher than that of an electrolyte at room
temperature.
Reason: Free electron density in metals is much lesser than the density of ions in
electrolytes and also free electrons have smaller mobility than ions.
43. Assertion: When Wheatstone bridge is balanced, the current through the cell depends
47. Assertion:: Electric appliances with a metallic body; e.g. heaters, presses, etc, have three-pin
connections, whereas an electric bulb has a two pin connection.
Reason: Three-pin connections reduce the heating of connecting cables.
48. Assertion:: A domestic electrical appliance, working on a three-pin will continue working even if
the top pin is removed.
Reason: The third pin is used only as a safety device.
49. Assertion:: In practical application, the power rating of resistance is not important.
Reason :Property of resistance remain the same even at high temperature.
50. Assertion:: Through the same current flows through the line wires and the filament of the bulb
but the heat produced in the filament is much higher than that in line wires.
Reason: The filament of bulbs is made of a material of high resistance and a high melting point.
52. Assertion : Terminal voltage of a cell is greater than the emf of a cell during charging of the
cell.
55. Assertion: The resistivity of the alloy increases rapidly with increase of temperature
Reason: Alloys usually have much lower temperature coefficients of resistance than pure metals.
