Q13.1 A potential difference is applied across the ends of a copper wire. What is the effect on the drift
velocity of free electrons by
i). Increasing the potential difference.
ii). Decreasing the length and the temperatre of the wire.
A13.1 Drift velocity is actally the resltant velocity of electrons in the presence of an e!ternal electric
field.
i) "y increasing the potential difference# vale of drift velocity of free electrons increases.
ii) When length and temperatre of the wire is decreased resistance also decreases# with the
decrease in resistance drift velocity of free electrons increases.
Q13.2 Do bends in a wire affect its electrical resistance$ %!plain.
A13.2 &o# as we 'now that R =
pI
A
it shows that there is no relationship b/w resistance and the bends
of a wire i.e. ( is independent of the bends in a wire. )ence "ends in a wire don*t affect its
resistance.
Q13.3 What are the resistances of the resistors given in the fig A and "$ What is the tolerance of each$
%!plain what is meant by the tolerance$
A13.3 +ig A: "rown , -reen . (ed 00 -old ./ tolerance ,.000 with ./ tolerance.
+ig ": yellow 1 White 2 3range 000 4ilver ,0/ tolerances 120000 with ,0/ tolerance.
Q13.4 Why does the resistance of a condctor rise with temperatre$
A13.4 Actally resistance of a condctor is de to collision b/w electrons and lattice atoms with
increase in temperatre# vibration motion of atoms increases and de to greater amplitde of
vibration# their collision probability with electrons increases hence resistance of condctor
increases according to the relation: R

Q13.5 What are the difficlties in testing whether the filament of a lighted blb obeys 3hm*s 9aw$
A13.5 3hm 9aw states :7rrent is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across the
condctor provided that the physical state of the condctor remains constant 5;<I().= >he
resistance of a lighted electric blb does not remains constant bt gradally increases with
increase in temp. )ence the filament of a blb does not follow 3hm*s 9aw.
Q13.6 Is the filament resistance lower or higher in a .00W# ??0; light blb than in a ,00W# ??0; blb$
A13.6 As we 'now that: @ower @<;

Q13.7 Describe a circit which will give a continosly varying potential.
A13.7 @otentiometer is a circit that can give a continosly varying potential as shown in figre:
A and " are fi!ed terminals and 7 is sliding terminal (esistance b/w A and " is D(* and that b/w A
and 7 is Dr*. &ow I<;/( and potential drop across Dr* is ;
/
<Ir ;
/
<;r/(.
As 7 moves from A to " r varies from 0 to (. )ence a circit is described which gives a
continosly varying potential 0 to ;.
Q13.8 %!plain why the terminal potential difference of a battery decreases when the crrent drawn
from it is increased$
A13.8 As we 'now that v
