Β
The resistivity does not change if
(a) the material is changed
(b) the temperature is changed
(c) the shape of the resistor is changed
(d) both material and temperature are changed
Β
Answer
the shape of the resistor is changed
Explanation -
The resistivity of a substance depends on the nature of the material and the physical conditions like temperature.
It does not depend on the shape of the resistor.

The current flowing through a resistor connected in an electrical circuit and the potential difference developed across its ends are shown in the given ammeter and voltmeter. Find the least count of the voltmeter and ammeter .What is the voltage and the current across the given resistor?
Β
Answer
Finding least count
The smallest value that can be measured by a measuring instrument is called its least count.
Numerically,
Least count = Value measure in N divisions/ N
Ammeter | Voltmeter |

We can see that, 10 divisions measure 0.2A current Β
Therefore,
|
We can see that, 10 divisions measure 1 V potential difference
Β
Therefore,
Least count = 1/10
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β = 0.1 V
Least count of voltmeter is 0.1 V

Β
Finding Current through the circuit
The current through the circuit is given by,
Current = Number of division the ammeter needle is pointing x least count
In the given figure, The ammeter needle is pointing on the 15th divison
Hence,
Current = Number of division the ammeter needle is pointing x least count
Β Β = 15 Γ 0.02
Β Β = 15 Γ 2 / 100
Β Β = 30 / 100
Β Β = 3/10
Β Β = 0.3 A
The ammeter reading is 0.3 A.
Β
Finding potential difference in the circuit
The potential difference in the circuit is given by,
Potential difference = Number of division the voltmeter needle is pointing x least count
Β
In the given figure, The voltmeter needle is pointing on the 21st divison
Hence,
Potential difference = Number of division the ammeter needle is pointing x least count
Β = 21 Γ 0.1
Β = 21 Γ 1/10
Β = 21/10
Β = 2.1 V
The voltmeter reading is 2.1V
Β
In a given ammeter, a student sees that needle indicates 17 divisions in ammeter while performing an experiment to verify Ohmβs law. If ammeter has 10 divisions between 0 and 0.5A, then what is the value corresponding to 17 divisions?
Β
Answer
The current through the circuit is given by,
Current = Number of division the ammeter needle is pointing Γ least count
Β
The smallest value that can be measured by a measuring instrument is called its least count.
Numerically,
Least count = Value measure in N divisions/ N
Β
According to the question,
There are 10 divisions between 0 and 0.5A
Hence, 10 divisions measure 0.5A current
Therefore,
Least count = Value measure in N divisions/ N
Least count = 0.5/10
= 5/ 10 Γ 10
= 5/ 100
= 0.05 A
Β
Least count of ammeter is 0.05 A
Β
The current through the circuit is given by,
Current = Number of division the ammeter needle is pointing x least count
Β
According to the question, The ammeter needle is pointing on the 17th divison
Hence,
Current = Number of division the ammeter needle is pointing Γ least count
Β = 17 Γ 0.05
Β = 17 Γ 5 / 100
Β = 85 / 100
Β = 0.85 A
The ammeter reading is 0.85 A.
