I.Qno.1. Which statement does not apply to pitch of a sound? (1+2+3+2+2 =10)
i.Depends on the frequency.
ii.The higher the frequency the higher the pitch.
iii.The higher the tension in the string the shriller the sound.
iv.If we increase the length of the string the pitch is lowered
v.Pitch is independent of wavelength.
Qno.2. What are the factor on which the loudness of a note depends?(4 points)
QNo.3. A boy stands in front of a cliff, on the other side of a river .He fires a gun and hears an
echo after 6 seconds.The boy then moves 170m backwards and again fires the gun.He hears
an echo after 7 seconds. Calculate : i)width of river (ii) speed of sound.
Qno.4. i.Sometimes when a vehicle is driven at a perticular speed ,a rattling sound is
heard.Explain briefly,why this happens and give the name of the phenomenon taking place.
ii.Suggest one way by which the rattling sound can be stopped.
Qno.5. A pendulum vibrates at a rate of 5 vibrations per second.An observer sets the pendulum
to oscillate and fire a gun simultaneously.He hears an echo after 8 vibration of the pendulum .If
the velocity of sound in air is 340m/s,what is the distance between the cliff and the observer.

II.Qno1.i.Why the potential difference of the cell is always lowers than its E.M.F. ?
ii.Would the fuse work on the neutral section of the wire?explain.

Qno.4 Four cells,each of EMF 1.5 V and internal resistance 2.0 ohm ,connected in parallel .the
battery of cells is connected to an external resistance of 2.5 ohms. Calculate :
i.the total resistance of the circuit
ii.the current flowing in the external circuit and ,
iii.the drop in potential across the terminals of the cells.
Qno.5. Why is coiled filament used in the bulb?
Qno. 6 A bulb is marked 100W,220V and an electric heater is marked 2000W,220V.
i.What is the ratio between the resistance of these two devices?
ii.How does the power -voltage rating device help us to decide about the type of leads
(connecting wires) to be used for it ?
iii.In which of the two devices, a thicker connecting wire or lead is required? (3+4+3+3+2+3+2)
Qno.7.state the necessary condition for a conductor to obey Ohms law.

III)Qno.1.i.What is the name given to a cylindrical coil whose diameter is less in compression to
its length?
ii.A wire bent into a circle carries current in an anticlockwise direction.What polarity does this
face of the coil exhibits.
iii.What will be the effect on the working of an electric bell if instead of a direct current, an
alternating current is used.
Qno2. What is the purpose of using a transformer?Can it be used with both the current sources
alternating and direct ?If not why?
Qno.3. What is the function of commutator and carbon brushes in dc motor.
Qno 4.i. Draw a neat and labelled diagram of an ac generator.
ii.What is the magnitude of induced emf in the coil when its plane becomes parallel to the
magnetic field?
Qno5.i. state two characteristics of the primary coil as compared to its secondary coil in a step-
down transformer.
ii.State one similarity between ac generator and dc motor.
iii.In an ac generator the speed at which the coil rotated is doubled .How would this affect a)
the frequency of output voltage b)the maximum out put voltage

IV.Qno.1.
