3.8 Given

Supply voltage, V = 230 V

Initial current drawn, I= 3.2 A

Final current drawn, I1 = 2.8 A

Room temperature, T = 27.0 °C

Steady temperature, T1 = ?

From Ohm’s law, we get initial resistance, R = VI = 2303.2 Ω = 71.875 Ω

Final resistance, R1 =

3.7 Let us assume R = 2.1 Ω, T = 27.5 °C, R1 = 2.7 Ω, T1 = 100 ? , α = resistivity of silver

We know the relation of α can be given as

α = R1-RR(T1-T) = 2.7-2.12.1(100-27.5) = 3.94 ×10-3 ?-1

3.6 Given, length of the wire, l = 15 m

Uniform cross section, A = 6.0 ×10-7 m2

Resistance measured, R = 5.0 Ω

From the relation of

R = ρlA , where ρ is the resistivity of the material, we get

ρ=ARl = 6.0×10-7×515 = 2 ×10-7 Ωm.

3.5 Let T be the room temperature and R be the resistance at room temperature and T1 be the required temperature and R1 be the resistance at that temperature and α be the coefficient of resistor.

We have:

T = 27 ?, R = 100 Ω, T1 = ?, R1 = 117 Ω, α = 1.70&nb

3.4 (a) Let R1 = 2 Ω, R2 = 4 Ω, R3 = 5 Ω

If the equivalent resistance is R, then 1R = 1R1 + 1R2 + 1R3 = 12 + 14 + 15 = 10+5+420 = 1920

R = 2019 = 1.05 Ω

(b) The EMF of the battery = 20 V

Current through R1, I1&nbs

3.3 (a) The equivalent resistance of the resistor in series is given by

R = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 Ω

(b) From Ohm’s law, I = VR we get I = 126 = 2 A.

Potential drop across 1 Ω resistor = I ×R = 2 ×1 = 2 V

Potential drop across 2 Ω resistor = I ×R = 2 ×2 = 4 V

Potenti

3.2 EMF of the battery = 10 V

Internal resistance of the battery, r = 3 Ω

Current in the circuit, I = 0.5 A

Let the resistance of the resistor be R

According to Ohm’s law

I = E (R+r)

R + r = EI or R = EI - r = 100.5 - 3 = 17 Ω

Terminal voltage of the battery when the circuit is closed is

3.1 EMF of the battery, E = 12 V

Internal resistance of the battery, r = 0.4 Ω

Let the maximum current drawn = I

According to OHM’s law, E = Ir

So I = Er = 120.4 amp = 30 amp

Therefore, the maximum current can be drawn is 30 ampere.

According to the class 12 Physics chapter 3 NCERT solutions, Ohm's Law is a foundational principle in electrical circuits. It states that when the temperature is constant, the current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it. The NCERT solutions explain the law u
