1. a light coil P is suspended to a spring balance by an inextensible string.
Another coil Q is connected to a battery and a rheostat. If the resistance of the
rheostat is suddenly reduced significantly, what happens to the reading of the
spring balance at that instant ?
A. Unchanged
B. Increased
C. Decreased
D. Cannot be determined as the polarity of the battery is not given.
2. Given the power dissipated in a fixed cable is P when a current I flows through it. If I is reduced by 25%, what is he percentage change of P ?
A. Reduced by 94%
B. Reduced by 75%
C. Reduced by 44%
D. Reduced by 25%
3. In the circuit , the rating of the light bulb is " 20 W, 5 V " . The efficiency of the
transformer is 60% . If the bulb works at its rated value , find the current in the
primary coil .
A. 0.1 A
B. 0.15 A
C. 0.2 A
D. 0.25 A
