Q1
Easy
What does Ohm's Law state?
A. V = IR
B. R = V/I
C. I = VR
D. V = IR^2
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). This is mathematically expressed as V = IR.
Q2
Easy
If the resistance of a wire is doubled while keeping the voltage constant, what happens to the current?
A. It doubles
B. It halves
C. It remains the same
D. It quadruples
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
According to Ohm's Law, if the resistance (R) is doubled while keeping voltage (V) constant, the current (I) will halve, because I = V/R.
Q3
Easy
In a circuit with a constant voltage of 10V and a resistance of 5Ω, what is the current flowing through the circuit?
A. 2A
B. 5A
C. 10A
D. 0.5A
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Using Ohm's Law, I = V/R = 10V / 5Ω = 2A.
Q4
Medium
What happens to the current through a conductor if the voltage across it is doubled while the resistance remains constant?
A. The current doubles
B. The current halves
C. The current remains the same
D. The current quadruples
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
According to Ohm's Law, V = IR. If voltage (V) is doubled and resistance (R) remains constant, the current (I) will also double.
Q5
Medium
A wire has a resistance of 10 ohms when it is at room temperature. What will be its resistance if the temperature increases and the temperature coefficient of the wire is 0.004/°C given a temperature increase of 50°C?
A. 12 ohms
B. 10 ohms
C. 15 ohms
D. 14 ohms
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Resistance increases with temperature according to R = R0(1 + αΔT). Here, R0 = 10 ohms, α = 0.004, and ΔT = 50°C. Thus, R = 10(1 + 0.004 * 50) = 12 ohms.
Q6
Medium
In a circuit, a resistor of 20 ohms is in series with a resistor of 30 ohms. What is the total resistance in the circuit?
A. 50 ohms
B. 600 ohms
C. 10 ohms
D. 20 ohms
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
In a series circuit, total resistance is the sum of individual resistances. Thus, R_total = 20 ohms + 30 ohms = 50 ohms.
Q7
Medium
If a conductor has a resistance of 5 ohms, what is the current flowing through it when a voltage of 15 volts is applied?
A. 3 A
B. 2 A
C. 1 A
D. 4 A
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Using Ohm's Law (V = IR), the current I can be calculated as I = V/R. Therefore, I = 15V / 5 ohms = 3 A.
Q8
Hard
A wire of resistance 10 ohms carries a current of 5 A. What is the potential difference across the wire?
A. 50 V
B. 2 V
C. 15 V
D. 25 V
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
According to Ohm's Law, V = IR. Here, V = 10 ohms * 5 A = 50 V.
Q9
Hard
If the resistance of a conductor is halved, how will the current change when a constant voltage is applied?
A. It remains the same
B. It doubles
C. It halves
D. It quadruples
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
According to Ohm's Law, I = V/R. Halving the resistance R leads to doubling the current I when V is constant.
Q10
Hard
A circuit contains three resistors in series with resistances of 4 ohms, 6 ohms, and 2 ohms. What is the total resistance?
A. 12 ohms
B. 10 ohms
C. 14 ohms
D. 8 ohms
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Total resistance in series is the sum of individual resistances: R_total = 4 + 6 + 2 = 12 ohms.
