Answer Key:

  1. D
  2. D
  3. B
  4. A

Explanation: Volume of the wire will not change when the wire is melted and recast. If l and A are the original length and area of cross-section and l’ and A’ are their corresponding values on recasting,

                   Al = A' l'   or     

Since        

R’ (new resistance) =  P l’/ A’

         

Or     R’ = R/4.

  1. C

Explanation: 1/2 +1/4 + 1/8 = (8/7) Ω

  1. C
  2. B

Explanation: For the same voltage (V), 

and (as P = V2/R)

Thus,           or      R2 = 2R1

  1. C

Explanation: Assuming that with the change in temperature, there is no variation in the resistance of bulb,

     or     

or     

  1. B
  2. Explanation: As H = I2 Rt, 

D

Explanation: Electric energy consumed = 10 × (40W × 10h) = 4000 Wh = 4 kWh

Cost of electricity consumption Rs. 4 × 2.50 = Rs. 10
