State whether given statement is True or False
We use battery cell in our everyday life ?

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We use battery cell in everyday life. This statement is true because battery cell is used on daily devices like remotes,Clocks, torch etc.

A wire of length $L$ and $3$ identical cells of negligible internal resistances are connected in series. Due to the current, the temperature of the wire is raised by $\Delta\ T$ in a time $t$. A number $N$ of similar cells is now connected in series with a wire of the same material and cross-section but of length $2\ L$. The temperature of the wire is raised by the same amount $\Delta\ T$ in the same time. The value of $N$ is

  1. $4$

  2. $6$

  3. $8$

  4. $9$


Correct Option: B

Two Leclanche cells assisting each other could be balanced on a length $L$ of a potentiometer wire. If the current through the wire is halved, what will be balancing length for one Leclanche cell?

  1. $L/4$

  2. $L/2$

  3. $L$

  4. $2L$


Correct Option: B

The two ends of a copper conductor of length 3.2 cm are connected to a battery acceleration of free electrons is

Correct Option: A

A cell in which chemical energy is converted into electric energy by first passing a current through it is called a _________.

  1. Primary cell

  2. Secondary cell

  3. Photocell

  4. Electrostatic machine


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cell in which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy is called a primary cell. Leclanche cell, Daniel cell, Voltaic cell are all primary cells and not the storage cells.

In torch light cell is used as source of which energy ?

  1. Electrical Energy

  2. Mechanical Energy

  3. Chemical Energy

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In torch light, cell is used as a source of electrical energy.

As electrical cell internally converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy, allowing a current to flow from the positive terminal round to the negative one via an external circuit .
