AI Q. 3. Nichrome and copper wires of same length and same radius are connected in series. Current I is passed through them. Which wire gets heated up more? Justify your answer. R [O.D. I, II, III 2017]

Ans. (i) Nichrome 1/2

(ii) $\mathrm{R}{N i}>\mathrm{R}{\mathrm{Cu}}(orResistivityRi{\mathrm{Ni}}>Resistivity{\mathrm{Cu}}$ ) Justification : Conduction of electrons

[CBSE Marking Scheme 2017]

Detailed Answer :

Two wires having similar length and radius, Nichrome wire gets heated up more as compared to copper wire since resistivity of Nichrome is more than that of Copper.

[AI Q. 4. Plot a graph showing the variation of current I versus resistance R, connected to a cell of emf E and internal resistance r. U [CBSE SQP 2017-18]

Ans.

I=Er+R
