Current Electricity MCQ Level - 3 - Question 1

The resistance of platinium wire at 0°C is 4Ω  What will be the resistance of the wire at 100°C. If the temperature coefficient of resistance of platinium is 0.0038/°C

Detailed Solution: Question 1

We know, Resistance depend on temperature by relation.

R100 = 4(1 + 0.0038 × 100)
R100 = 4(1 + 0.38)

The correct answer is: 5.52Ω

As the current flow from inner to outer shell, the cross-section area increase. Assuming an element in form of spherical shell of radius r  and thickness  dr

The resistance

Net resistance

Current Electricity MCQ Level - 3 - Question 6

A long cylinder with uniformly charged surface an cross-section radius a  moves with a constant velocity v  along its axis. An electric field strength at the surface of the cylinder is equal to  E. So current caused by mechanical transfer of a charge.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

The convection current is

Here, dq = λdx. where λ is the linear charge density. But, from the gauss, theorem, electric field at the surface of the cylinder,

Hence, substituting the value of λ and subsequently of dq  in Equation (i), we get

The correct answer is: 

Current Electricity MCQ Level - 3 - Question 7

What is the drift velocity of an electron in a copper conductor having area 10 × 10–6 m2 and 10 × 1028 electron/m3

Detailed Solution: Question 7

We know, current through conductor = I = neAvd
where A = Area
vd = drift velocity
e = charge on electron
n = number of electron per unit volume

The correct answer is: 1.25 × 10–5 m/s

Current Electricity MCQ Level - 3 - Question 8

Two cylindrical conductor with equal cross-sections and different resistivity  ρ1 and ρ2 are put end to end. The charge at the boundary of the conductor if a current I flows from conductor 1 to conductor 2

Detailed Solution: Question 8

The current density

J = I/A

Electric field in the two conductor are given by

If we consider of Gaussian pill box of cross-section area S at the interface of two conductors.

The flux of 

According to Gauss Law

where σ  is the surface charge density at the interface

So, charge at the boundary of two conductors

The correct answer is: 

Current Electricity MCQ Level - 3 - Question 9

A current of 1A flows through a copper wire. How many electron pass through any cross-section of the wire in 1.6 seconds. (Charge on electron in 1.6 × 10–19C)

Detailed Solution: Question 9

I = 1A
t = 1.6 second

⇒ q = It = 1 × 1.6 = 1.6
q = 1.6C
q = ne
n = number of electrons

The correct answer is: 1019

Current Electricity MCQ Level - 3 - Question 10

A battery of 6 cells, each of emf 2V and internal resistance 0.5Ω is being charged by a 220V  supplying  an external resistance of 10Ω is series. The potential difference across the battery is :

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Total emf of the battery = 12 V
Total internal resistance of the battery = 3Ω

Current through battery (I) = 
Potential difference across battery  = emf of battery + Potential across the battery = 12 + (16 × 3)
= 60 V
The correct answer is: 60 V
