A small toy starts moving from the position of rest under a constant acceleration. If it travels a distance of 10m in t s, the distance travelled by the toy in the next t s will be:

In a meter bridge, the point D is a neutral point (figure).
(a) The meter bridge can have no other neutral. A point for this set of resistances.
(b) When the jockey contacts a point on meter wire left of D, current flows to B from the wire
(c) When the jockey contacts a point on the meter wire to the right of D, current flows from B to the wire through galvanometer
(d) When R is increased, the neutral point shifts to left

Temperature dependence of resistivity ρ(T) of semiconductors, insulators and metals is significantly based on the following factors:
(a) Number of charge carriers can change with temperature T.
(b) Time interval between two successive collisions can depend on T.
(c) Length of material can be a function of T.
(d) Mass of carriers is a function of T.

Consider a simple circuit shown in figure stands for a variable resistance R'. R' can vary from R₀to infinity, r is internal resistance of the battery (r <(a) Potential drop across AB is nearly constant as R' is varied.
(b) Current through R' is nearly a constant as R' is varied.
(c) Current I depends sensitively on R'
(d) I ≥ V/r + R always;

Kirchhoff's junction rule is a reflection of
(a) Conservation of current density vector.
(b) Conservation of charge.
(c) The fact that the momentum with which a charged particle approaches a junction is unchanged (as a vector) as the charged particle leaves the junction.
(d) The fact that there is no accumulation of charges at a junction.

Which of the following characteristics of electrons determines the current in a conductor?

(d) Same irrespective of the three faces

Two cells of emfs approximately 5 V and 10 V are to be accurately compared using a potentiometer of length 400 cm.4.

(b) The battery of potentiometer can have a voltage of 15 V and R adjusted so that the potential drop across the wire slightly exceeds 10 V.

(c) The first portion of 50 cm of wire itself should have a potential drop of 10 V.
(d) Potentiometer is usually used for comparing resistances and not voltages.

A resistance R is to be measured using a meter bridge, a student chooses the standard resistance S to be 100 Ω He finds the null point at l₁= 2.9 cm. He is told to attempt to improve the accuracy. Which of the following is a useful way?

(b) He should change S to 1000 ? and repeat the experiment
(c) He should change S to 3 ? and repeat the experiment
(d) He should have given up hope of a more accurate measurement with a meter bridge.
