Q2: A wire of length 'l' and resistance 100Ω is divided into 10 equal parts. The first 5 parts are connected in series while the next 5 parts are connected in parallel. The two combinations are again connected in series. The resistance of this final combination is: [2024]
(a) 26Ω
(b) 52Ω
(c) 55Ω
(d) 60Ω
View AnswerAns:(b)
To solve this problem, we first need to understand how the resistance changes when we cut the wire into equal parts and how it behaves when connected in different configurations (series and parallel).
Given:
Original length of the wire, l.
Total resistance of the wire R = 100Ω.
The wire is divided into 10 equal parts.
Resistance of each part:
Since the wire is divided into 10 equal parts, the length of each part is l/10. Resistance is proportional to length (as long as the cross-sectional area and material of the wire remain constant). Therefore, the resistance of each part, denoted as r, is 1/10th of the total resistance:
First 5 parts in series:
When resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances:
Next 5 parts in parallel:
When resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance parallel Rparallel can be calculated using the reciprocal formula:
Thus,
Rparallel = 2Ω
Final combination in series:
The total resistance of the combination, where the series and parallel groups are again connected in series, will be:
Thus, the correct answer to the resistance of the final combination is:
Option B: 52Ω
Q3: Choose the correct circuit which can achieve the bridge balance.

(b) 
(c) 
(d) 
[2024]
View AnswerAns: (a)
In option (a),
The diode can conduct and have resistance RD = 10Ω because diode have dynamic resistance. In that case bridge will be balanced.
Q4: Two heaters A and B have power rating of 1 kW and 2 kW, respectively. Those two are first connected in series and then in parallel to a fixed power source. The ratio of power outputs for these two cases is:
(a) 1 : 1
(b) 2 : 9
(c) 1 : 2
(d) 2 : 3 [2024]
View AnswerAns:(b)
To find the ratio of power outputs when two heaters with different power ratings are connected first in series and then in parallel, we need to understand how the total power output varies based on the type of connection.
Heater Specifications:
- Power of heater A
kWW(PA) - Power of heater B
kWW(PB)
Scenario 1: Series Connection
When resistors (or heaters in this case) are connected in series, the total resistance (Rseries
Using the formula for electrical power: P = V2 / R,
where P is power, V is voltage, and R is resistance, we can express the resistance of each heater as:
Substitute the given power values:
Then the total resistance for the series connection is:
The total power output in series (Pseries) is:
Scenario 2: Parallel Connection
For parallel connections, the total resistance (Rparallel
Reformulate to find Rparallel
And the total power output in parallel (P
However, simplifying,
The ratio of powers is then:
Solving and simplifying,
Given that we know one ratio of the actual power values, we simplify further. For calculating power in simple terms, consider voltage to be normalized (taken out of the fraction):
Therefore, the ratio of the power outputs when the heaters are connected first in series and then in parallel is 2:9, which corresponds to Option B.

Q1: If the galvanometer G does not show any deflection in the circuit shown, the value of R is given by
(a) 200 Ω(b) 50 Ω
(c) 100 Ω
(d) 400 Ω
View AnswerAns: (c)
Since the galvanometer does not show any deflection, the potential of each point can be found easily as shown in the image below:
i400=(10-2)/400 =8/400= 1/50 A
The current through R will also be the same as no current is flowing through the other side.
iR=1/50 A
R=VR/IR = (2-0)/(1/50)=100Ω

Q1: In an ammeter, 0.2% of the main current passes through the galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is G, the resistance of the ammeter will be:
(a) 1/500 G
(b) 500/499 G
(c) 1/499 G
(d) 499/500 G
View AnswerAns: (a)
Solution:
Let the shunt resistance be S.
Q2: The resistance in the two arms of the meter bridge is 5 Ω and R Ω, respectively. When the resistance R is shunted with an equal resistance, the new balance point is at 1.6ℓ1. The resistance ‘R’ is :
(a) 20 Ω
(b) 25 Ω

(d) 15 Ω
View AnswerAns: (b)
Solution:
Q3: Two cities are 150 km apart. Electric power is sent from one city to another city through copper wires. The fall of potential per km is 8 volts and the average resistance per km is 0.5 Ω. The power loss in the wire is :
(a) 19.2 J
(b) 12.2 kW
(c) 19.2 W
(d) 19.2 kW
View AnswerAns: (d)
Solution:
Total voltage drop across wire = 150 x 8
= 1200 volt
Total resistance of wire
= 150 x 0.5 = 75 Ω
∴ current through wire
Q4: A potentiometer circuit has been set up for finding the internal resistance of a given cell. The main battery, used across the potentiometer wire, has an EMF of 2.0 V and a negligible internal resistance. The potentiometer wire itself is 4 m long. When the resistance, R connected across the given cell, has a value of:
(i) infinity
(ii) 9.5 Ω, the ‘balancing lengths’, on the potentiometer wire are found to be 3m and 2.85m, respectively.
The value of internal resistance of the cell is:
(a) 0.5 Ω
(b) 0.75 Ω
(c) 0.25 Ω
(d) 0.95 Ω

FAQs on NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Current Electricity - Physics Class 12
| 1. What is the formula for calculating the equivalent resistance in a series circuit? |  |
| 2. How do you calculate the total current flowing in a parallel circuit? | |
Ans. In a parallel circuit, the total current (I_total) can be calculated using the formula I_total = I_1 + I_2 + I_3 + ... + I_n, where I_1, I_2, I_3, ..., I_n are the currents flowing through each branch of the circuit.
| 3. What is Ohm's Law and how is it applied in current electricity problems? | |
Ans. Ohm's Law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor. It is expressed as V = I × R. This law is applied in current electricity problems to calculate the unknown values of voltage, current, or resistance.
| 4. What are the main differences between series and parallel circuits? | |
Ans. The main differences between series and parallel circuits include: In a series circuit, the current is the same through all components, and the total resistance increases with additional resistors. In contrast, in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each branch, leading to a decrease in total resistance with added branches.
| 5. How can the concept of potential difference be explained in the context of current electricity? | |
Ans. Potential difference, also known as voltage, is the work done per unit charge to move a charge between two points in an electric field. In the context of current electricity, it is the driving force that pushes electric charges through a circuit, enabling current to flow. It is measured in volts (V) and is a crucial factor in determining how much current flows through a circuit according to Ohm's Law.
