$(a)$ What material is used in making the filament of an electric bulb ?
$(b)$ Name the characteristics which make it suitable for this.
$(a)$ $(i)$ What is meant by saying that the potential difference between two points is $1$ volt ?
$(ii)$ How much energy is given to $5$ coulomb of charge passing through a $12 \,V$ battery ?
$(b)$ Describe an activity with necessary electric circuit drawn to study the factors on which the resistance of a conducting wire depends.
A hot plate of an electric oven connected to a $220\, V$ line has two resistors $A$ and $B$ each of $22\, \Omega$ resistance. These resistors may be used separately, in series or in parallel. Find the current flowing in all the three cases.
A piece of wire is redrawn, without change in volume so that its radius is halved. Compare the new resistance with the original resistance.
Why is heat produced when a current is passed through a conductor ?
