Worksheet 3
Ch3. Current Electricity
1. How does the drift velocity of electrons in a metallic conductor vary with increase in temperature?
2. Two different wires X and Y of same diameter but of different materials are joined in series and
connected across a battery. If the number density of electrons in X is twice that of Y, find the ratio of drift
velocity of electrons in the two wires.
3. A 4Ω non insulated wire is bent in the middle by 1800 and both the halves are twisted with each other.
Find its new resistance?
4. Can the terminal potential difference of a cell exceed its emf? Give reason for your answer.
5. Two wires of equal length one of copper and the other of manganin have the same resistance. Which
wire is thicker?
6. The V-I graph for a conductor makes angle Ѳ with V- axis, what is the resistance of the conductor?
7. A piece of silver wire has a resistance of 1Ω. What will be the resistance of the constantan wire of one
third of its length and one half of its diameter if the specific resistance of the constantan wire is 30 times
than that of the silver?
8. Two square metal plates A and B are of the same thickness and material.
The side of B is twice that of side A. If the resistance of A and B are
denoted by RA and RB, find RA/ RB.
9. The V-I graph of two resistors in their series combination is shown.
Which one of these graphs shows the series combinations of the other
two? Give reason for your answer.

series to a variable resistor. The following graph shows the variation
of terminal voltage of the combination with the current output.

cells, does maximum power dissipation occur in the circuit?

13. A uniform wire of resistance R is shaped into a regular ‘n’ sided
polygon where n is even. Find the equivalent resistance between (i)
Opposite corners of the polygon (ii) adjacent corners of the polygon.

connected in series to an external resistance R. Can a value of R be
selected such that the potential difference of the first cell is 0

terminals of the battery. Find the value of R such that (a) the current in the circuit is maximum (b) the
potential difference across the terminal is maximum.
