Chapter 8: Let us answer these (Page-159)



Q1. Name the factors on which the resistance of a conductor depends.
Ans: - 1.The length of the conductor.
           2. The area of the cross section of the wire.
           3. The nature of the material of the conductor.
           4. Temperature.

Q2. Through which of the wires – a thick one and a thin one of the same material will current flow easily, when connected to the same battery or cell ? Why?
Ans: - The current will flow easily to the thick wire. Because, resistance is less in thick wire than thin wire of the material and condition.

Q3. Supposed the potential difference across an electrical component of fix resistance decreases to half of its former value.
Ans: - According to the question, resistance R remains the same when V decreased to 1/2 V, I will increase to twice.
