Resistance & Ohm’sLaw

1 Mark Questions

1.Plot a graph showing variation of current versus voltage for the material GaAs. [Delhi 2014]
Ans.

2.Show variation of resistivity of copper as a function of temperature in graph. [Delhi 2014;


All India 2014]
Ans .Graph of resistivity of copper as a function of temperature is given below (resistivity of
metals increases with increase in temperature)

3.Define the term drift velocity of charge carriers in a conductor and write its relationship
with the current flowing through it. [Delhi 2014]
Ans .The term drift velocity of charge carriers in a conductor is defined as the average velocity
acquired by the free electrons along the length of a metallic conductor under a potential
difference applied across the conductor.Its relationship is expressed as

where, I is current flowing through the conductor,n is concentration of free electrons


e is electron i.e.charge
A is cross-sectional area

4.Define the term electrical conductivity of a metallic wire. Write its SI unit. [Delhi 2014]
Ans.

5.Show variation of resistivity of Si with temperature in graph.[Delhi 2014]


Ans.

6.Define the term mobility of charge carriers in a conductor. Write its SI unit. [Delhi 2014]
Ans.
7.Write a relation between current and drift velocity of electrons in a conductor. Use this
relation to explain how the resistance of a conductor changes with the rise in temperature ?
[Compartment 2013]
Ans .Relation between current and drift velocity of electrons in a conductor is given by l =
Anevd
where l = current, A = area of conductor, n = number density of electrons and vd = drift velocity.
with the increase in temperature of a metallic conductor, resistance increases and hence, drift
velocity decreases

8.When electrons drift in a metal from lower to higher potential, does it mean that all the free
electrons of the metal are moving in the same direction? [Delhi 2012]
Ans.No, the drift speed of electrons is superposed over the random velocities of the electrons

9.Show on a graph, the variation of resistivity with temperature for a typical semiconductor.
[Delhi 2012]
Ans.

10.Two wires of equal length, one of copper and the other of manganin have the same
resistance. Which wire is thicker? [All India 2012]

13.Two identical slabs, of a given metal, are joined together, in two different ways, as shown
in figures
(a) and (b). What is the ratio of the resistances of these two combinations? [Delhi 2010 c]

Ans.

14.Two conducting wires X and Y of same diameter but different materials are joined in
series across a battery. If the number density of electrons in X is twice than that in Y, then
find the ratio of drift velocity of electrons in the two wires.[All India 2010]
Ans.

field E produced inside the conductor.
24.A conductor of length / is connected to a DC source of potential V. If the length of the
conductor is tripled by gradually stretching it, keeping V constant, how will
