    Case Study Based Questions


    Case Study 1
    Ohm's law gives a relationship between current and potential difference. According to
    this law, at constant temperature, the current flowing through a conductor is directly
    proportional to the potential difference across its ends. The ratio of potential difference
    applied between the ends of a conductor and the current flowing through it is a constant
    quantity called resistance. The following graph is obtained by a researcher while doing
    an experiment to study Ohm's law. The I-V graph for four conductors A, B, C and D
    having resistances RA, RB, RC and RD respectively are shown in the graph.

    Read the above passage carefully and give the answer of the following questions:

    Q1. If all the conductors are of same length and same material, which is the thickest?
    a. C b. D
    c. A
    d. B

    Q2. If all the conductors are of same thickness and of same material, which is the
    longest?
    a. B
    b. C
    с. А
    d. D

    Q3. Which one of the following relations is true for these conductors?
    a. RA > RB >RC> Ro
    b. RA=RB < Rc <Ro
    C. RA < RB < Rc <Ro
    d. RA = RB=RC=Ro

    Q4. If conductors A and B are connected in series and I-V graph is plotted for the
    combination, its slope would be:
    a. more than that of A
    b. between A and B
    c. more than that of D
    d. less than that of A

    Q5. If conductors C and D are connected in parallel and I-V graph is plotted for the
    combination, its slope would be:
    a. between C and D
    b. lesser than that of A
    c. more than that of D
    d. between B and C

    Answers
    1. (b) D

    2. (c) A

    3. (a) RARB>RC>Ro

    4. (d) less than that of A

    5. (c) more than that of D

    Case Study 2
    Vinita and Ahmed demonstrated a circuit that operates the two headlights and the two
    sidelights of a car, in their school exhibition.

    Based on their demonstrated circuit, answer the following questions:

    Q1. State what happens when switch A is connected to


    (i) Position 2
    (ii) Position 3

    Q2. Find the potential difference across each lamp when lit.

    Q3. Calculate the current:


    (i) In each 12Ω lamp when lit.
    (ii) In each 4 Ω lamp when lit.

    Or

    Show, with calculations, which type of lamp, 4.0 Ω or 12 Ω has the higher power. (CBSE
    SQP 2023-24)

    Answers
    1. (1) Only 12 2 lamps will light up.
    (ii) Only 4 lamps will light up.

    2. 12 V for both sets of lamps as all of them are in parallel.

    3. (i) Voltage across both 12 2 lamps = 12 V.


    Case Study 3
    When an electric current passes through a conductor (like a high resistance wire) the
    conductor becomes hot after some time and produces heat. This is called heating effect
    of electric current or joule heating or ohmic heating or resistive heating. The heating
    effect of electric current is widely used in our day- to-day life. The electric laundry iron,
    electric toaster, electric bulb, fuse and electric heater are some of the familiar devices
    based on Joule's heating.

    Read the above passage carefully and give the answer of the following questions:

    Q1. Write the mathematical expression for Joule's law of heating.

    Q2. The following table gives the resistivity of three samples:

    Which of them is suitable for heating elements of electrical appliances and why?

    Q3. Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does?

    Q4. State a difference between the wire used in the element of an electric heater and in
    a fuse wire.

    Q5. Tungsten is used almost exclusively for filaments of electric bulb. List two reasons.

    Answers
    1. The mathematical expression for Joule's law of heating is:
    Heat generated, H=12Rt
    where is the amount of current flowing through the conductor, R is the resistance of
    conductor and t is the time for which the current has flown.

    2. The resistivity of sample C is maximum so it is suitable for making heating elements of


    electrical appliances.

    3. The cord of an electric heater is made up of copper with very low resistance whereas
    heating elements are made up of alloys which have very

    high resistance. So, when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot
    and glows red due to heating effect of current.

    4. The wire used in element of electric heater has high resistance and high melting point
    whereas a fuse wire has low resistance and low melting point.

    5. Tungsten is used for making filaments of electric bulb because of the following
    reasons:
    (i) It has very high melting point
    (ii) It has high resistivity

    Case Study 4

    Q2. Calculate the equivalent resistance of the parallel combination of the arms B and C.

    Q3. (i) Determine the current that flows through the ammeter.
    Or

    (ii) Determine the current that flows in the ammeter when the arm B is withdrawn from
    the circuit. (CBSE 2022 Term-2)

    Answers
    1. In arm C, 10 Ω, 20 Ω and 30 Ω are in series, Thus, the equivalent resistance,
    Rc 10+20+30=60 Ω

    2. From the given circuit, the equivalent resistance of parallel combination of arm B and
    C,

    3. (i) From the given circuit, the equivalent resistanc of arm A (RA) is combined in series
    with RBC
    .. Total resistance of the circuit R=RA + RBC
    = (5+15+20) + 20
    =40+20=60Ω
    Thus, the current flowing through ammeter,

    Or
    (ii) When the arm B is withdrawn from the circuit, the equivalent resistance,
