Resistivity is a basic property of any materials. It is defined as the resistance offered by a cube of unit volume of
the materials. Hence resistivity of a wire depends on its material.

Total current is 2A and after disconnection of one, resistors, the current drawn from the battery, is

Let's cross-section of the wire is A = r2, length of the wire is l therefore volume of the wire is A.l. Now
if the length of the wire is stretched to n times of its original length i.e. now length of the wire becomes l'
= n.l. Now if r' is the new radius of the cross-section of the wire then new cross-sectional area A' = r'2.
If the volume of the wire is same before and after stretching, A.l = A'.l' r'2.n.l = r2.l r'2 = r2/n
r'2 = r2/n A' = A/n. Thus resistance of the wire after stretched is (l'/A')= {n.l/(A/n)} = n2(l/A) =
n2.R.

The cross-section of the first wire is r2. The cross-section of the second wire is (2r)2 = 4r2. The
resistance of any wire depends upon the ratio of its length to area. So if the cross-section of the second
wire is 4 times of that of first wire, the length of the second wire must also be 4 times of that of first if the
resistance of both wires are same.

The
current
through 25 resistor is 4 A hence voltage across it is 4X25 = 100 V and this is the voltage across the
supply as well as other resistors. hence current through 50 and 80 resistors will be 100/50 = 2A
and 100/8 = 1.25 A. Therefore current through Rx will be 10 - 4 - 2 - 1.25 = 2.75 A and then Rx =

Objective Questions on Electric Lamps
1. A 60 W bulb in series with a room heater is connected across the mains. If the 60 W bulb is replaced by 100
W bulb
A.
the heater output will increase.
B.
the heater output will decrease.
C.
the heater output will be same.
D.
the heater output will slightly decrease.
The wattage rating of any electrical component (bulb) is inversely proportional to its resistance. Hence
100 W bulb has smaller resistance than 60 W bulb. So if 60 W bulb is replaced by 100 W bulb in the
above case then, the overall resistance of the series combination of heater and bulb is reduced hence
current increases accordingly. Therefore the output of the heater is increased as the current through it
increases.
2. Filaments of electric bulbs are generally made of
.
nichrome.
A.
tungsten.
B.
copper.
C.
carbon.
Tungsten has the highest melting point of all the non-alloyed metals and the second highest of all the
elements after carbon. When current flows through high resistive tungsten filament, it will not melt but
glow. That is why filaments of electric bulbs are generally made of tungsten.
3. All the resistances in the circuit given are of R each. The switch is initially open. What happens to the
lamp's

closed?
Increases.
A.

B.
Decreases.
C.
Answer depends on the value of R.
If the all resistances are same (R ) then there will be no current in the central Resistance as there is no
potential difference [Like Wheatstone Bridge].

C.
0.5 .
Total current is 2A and after disconnection of one, resistors, the current drawn from the battery, is

.
n.R.
A.
n2.R.
B.
R/n.
C.

Let's cross-section of the wire is A = r2, length of the wire is l therefore volume of the wire is A.l. Now
if the length of the wire is stretched to n times of its original length i.e. now length of the wire becomes l'
= n.l. Now if r' is the new radius of the cross-section of the wire then new cross-sectional area A' = r'2.
If the volume of the wire is same before and after stretching, A.l = A'.l' r'2.n.l = r2.l r'2 = r2/n
r'2 = r2/n A' = A/n. Thus resistance of the wire after stretched is (l'/A')= {n.l/(A/n)} = n2(l/A) =
n2.R.

.
1 .
A.
2 .
B.
4 .
C.
8 .
Volume = lengthXarea so if length is increased by 2 times then area will be decreased by 1/2, if resistance
R = (l/A) = 1 R' = (2l/0.5A) = 4(l/A) = 4R = 4 .

B.
l2.
C.
4l.
The cross-section of the first wire is r2. The cross-section of the second wire is (2r)2= 4r2. The
resistance of any wire depends upon the ratio of its length to area. So if the cross-section of the second
wire is 4 times of that of first wire, the length of the second wire must also be 4 times of that of first if the
resistance of both wires are same.

Conductor resistance is directly proportional to length. But insulation resistance is the resistance to the
flow of leakage current to ground. Since the flow of leakage current is directly proportional to the length
of the conductor as because with length conductor inner and outer surface are of the insulation layer of
the conductor increases. So insulation resistance is inversely proportional to the length of conductor.

13. Four resistances 80 , 50 , 25 and R are connected in parallel. Current through 25 resistance is 4 A.

.
36.36 .
A.
66.66 .
B.
40.25 .
C.
76.56 .
The
current
through 25 resistor is 4 A hence voltage across it is 4X25 = 100 V and this is the voltage across the
supply as well as other resistors. hence current through 50 and 80 resistors will be 100/50 = 2A
and 100/8 = 1.25 A. Therefore current through Rx will be 10 - 4 - 2 - 1.25 = 2.75 A and then Rx =
100/2.75 = 36.36

A.
6:3:2.

16. When a resistor R is connected to a current source, it consumes a power of 18 W. When the same R is
connected to a voltage source having the same magnitude as the current source, the power absorbed by R
is 4.5 W. The magnitude of the current source and the value of R are
.
18 A and 1 .
A.
1 A and 18 .
B.
3 A and 2 .
C.
6 A and 0.5 .
For resistance R, connected to the current source, the consumed power is 18w i.e 18 = I 2R (1) and for
second condition 4.5 = V2/R (2) and current and voltage having same magnitude that is V = I (3).
By solving these 3 equations we get R = 2 ohms and I = 3 A

All the resistances are same. There is no potential difference between central vertical resistance [like
Wheatstone Bridge], so it can be imagined that it is opened. Then the equivalent resistance between A &

The resistivity of copper does not vanish at absolute zero. Instead, its level at absolute zero is known as
the residual resistance. Copper has a residual resistance of 0.020 n m.
