We are offering TS 10th Class Maths Notes Chapter 2 Sets to learn maths more effectively.

TS 10th Class Maths Notes Chapter 2 Sets

→ A set is a well-defined collection of objects.
E.g.: The collection of instruments in a Mathematics Instrument Box.
The collection of districts in Andhra Pradesh.

→ An object belonging to a set is known as an element of the set.
For example, if B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are the elements of set B.

→ We use upper case letters A, B, C,…., X, Y, Z etc., to denote a set while the elements of a set are represented by small letters a, b, c,…. etc.

→ If ‘x’ is an element of set A.
We say that ‘x’ belongs to ‘A’ and we write xe A.
If Y is not element of set B.
We say that ‘x does not belongs to B’ and we write xg B.

→ A set can be represented in two ways.

• Roster (or) Tabular form
• Set builder form.

→ Roster form :

• In roster form, all the elements of a set are list the elements being separated by commas and are enclosed within braces (curly brackets).
• For example, the set of all even positive integers less than 20 is described in the roaster form as {2, 4, 6, 8, 10,12,14,16,18}.
• The set of all vowels in english alphabet can be written as V = {a, e, i, o, u}
• It may be noted while writing the set in roaster form, an element is not generally repeated.
• For example, the set of letters forming the word ‘FOLLOWER’ is written as {F, O, L, W, E, R}.

→ Set builder form :
In set builder form, we use a symbol x (or any other symbol like the letters y, z etc.,) for the elements of the set. After that we write either a colon or a vertical line. Then we write the characteristic property possessed by the elements of the set. Lastly we enclose the description within braces.
Let A = (2, 3, 5, 7,11,13,17}. This is the set of all prime numbers less than 19. It can be represented in set builder form as {x/x is a prime number less than 19}

→ Null set:
A set which does not contain any element is called the empty set or the null set or the void set. The empty/ null set is denoted by the symbol Φ or {}.
E.g.: Let P = {x : 1 < x < 2 and x e N}
P is an empty set because there is no natural number between 1 and 2.

→ Finite set:
A set is called a finite set if it is possible to count the number of elements in it.
C = {x, y, z} and A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

→ Infinite set:
A set is called an infinite set if the number of elements in it is not finite (i.e.,) we cannot count the number of elements in it.
For example, E = {x : x is a multiple of 3}
0 = {x/x is an odd natural number}

→ Cardinal number of a set:
The number of elements in a set is called the cardinal number of the set.
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, n(A) = 5 If B = {5, 6, 7}, n(B) = 3 But n(Φ) = 0

→ Universal set; subset:
If we consider all the students in a school as universal set, then the students in any class of that school will be a subset of it.
The subset is denoted by the symbol: ⊂
A set S is a subset of a set R, if every element of S is an element of R.
i. e., S ⊂ R
S ⊂ R whenever x ∈ S, then x ∈ R.
If U = {a, b, c,…., x, y, z} and V = (a, e, i, o, u}, then V ⊂ U.
If we consider the alphabet in English as universal set, then the set of vowels is a subset of it.

→ Equal sets :
Two sets A and B are said to be equal if every element of A is also an element of B and if every element of B is also an element of A.
In other words, two sets A and B are said to be equal if they have exactly the same elements.
We write A = B
E.g.: A = {5, 8,10,11}, B = {10, 5, 11, 8}
Then A = B

→ Equivalent sets:
Two finite sets A and B are said to be equivalent if they have the same number of elements. We write A = B
For example, let A = {x, y, z} and B = {2, 4, 6} then A and B are equivalent sets.

→ Difference of sets :
Let A and B are two sets. The difference of sets A and B, in the same order, is the set of elements that belong to A but not to B.
We write it as A – B and read as ‘A’ difference B’.
A – B = {x: x ∈ A and x ∉ B}

→ Union of sets :
Let A and B be any two sets. The union of A and B is the set that contains all the elements of A and also the elements of B, the common elements being taken only once.

Symbolically,
A ∪ B = {x : x ∈ A or x ∈ B}
E.g.: If A = {1, 3, 5, 7} and B = {5, 7, 9,11} then A ∪ B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9,11}
We read A ∪ B as ‘A union B’.

→ Intersection of sets :
Let A and B be any two sets. The intersection of sets A and B is the set of all elements which are common to both A and B.

Symbolically,
A ∩ B = {x : x ∈ A and X ∈ B}
E.g.: If A = {2,4, 6, 8} and B = {6, 8,10,12} then A ∩ B = {6, 8}
We read A ∩ B as ‘A intersection B’.

→ Disjoint sets:
Two sets A and B are said to be disjoint, if A ∩ B = Φ

i. e., there is no common element in the sets.
E.g.: A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and B = {6, 7, 8}
Here, A and B have no elements in common.
∴ A and B are called disjoint sets.

→ Venn diagrams:
Venn diagrams are a convenient way of showing operations between sets. Most of the ideas about sets and their properties can be visualised by means of diagrams. These diagrams are known as venn diagrams because they are named after John Venn. In these diagrams, the universal set is represented by the interior of a rectangle and its subsets are represented by the interior of circles.
(i) n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∪ B) = n(A ∩ B)
(ii) n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B) = n(A ∪ B)
E.g.:
(i) If n(A) = 7, n(B) = 8, n(A ∩ B) = 3, find n(A ∪ B).
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
= 7 + 8 – 3 = 12
(ii) If n(A) = 14, n(B) = 5, n(A ∪ B) = 16, find n(A ∩ B).
n(A ∩ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∪ B)
= 14 + 5 – 16
= 19 – 16 = 3

Important Formula:

• Null Set. P = {x: 1 < x < 2 and x ∈ N}
• A set is called Finite Set. If it is possible to count.
• A set is called Infinite Set. If it is not possible to count.
• The number of elements in a set is called the cardinal number of the set.
• Two sets A and B are said to be equal if they have the same elements, i.e A = B
• Symbol of subset is ⊂.

George Cantor(1845 – 1918A.D):

• George Cantor was a German mathematician, best known as the inventor of set theory, which has become a fundamental theory in mathematics.
• Cantor established the importance of one-to-one correspondence between the numbers of two sets, defined infinite and well-ordered sets and proved that the real numbers are “more numerous” than the natural numbers.
• He defined the cardinal and ordinal numbers and their arithmetic.
• Cantor’s work is of great philosophical interest, a fact of which he was well aware.

I. Reflections on concepts

Question 1.
Explain how electron flow causes electric current with Lorentz-Orude’s theory of electrons.
Answer:
1. Lorenti and Drude, scientists of 19th Century proposed that conductors like metals contain large number of free electrons while the positive ions are fixed in their locations. The arrangement of the positive ions is aimed lattice.
2. Assume that a conductor is an open circuit. The electrons move randomly in lattice space of a conductor as shown in the following figure.

3. When the electrons are in random motion, they can move in any direction.

4. Hence if we imagine any cross-section as In above figure, the number of electrons, crossing the cross-section of a conductor from left to right in one second is equal to that of electrons passing the cross-section from right to left in one second and the nett charge moving along conductor through any cross-section Is zero when the conductor is in open circuit.

5. When the ends of the conductor are connected to a source (say, battery) through a bulb, the bulb glows because energy transfer takes place from battery to the bulb.

6. As the electrons are responsible for transfer of energy from battery to the bulb, they must have an ordered motion.

7. When the electrons are in ordered motion there will be a net charge crossing any cross-section of the conductor.

8. This ordered motion of electrons Is called electric current.

Question 2.
Write the difference between potential difference and emf.
Answer:

Question 3.
How can you verify that the resistance of a conductor is temperature dependent?
Answer:

1. Take a bulb and measure the resistance of the bulb using a multimeter in open circuit. Note the value of the resistance.
2. Now connect the bulb in a circuit and switch on the circuit.
3. After a few minutes the bulb gets heated.
4. Now measure the resistance of the bulb again with multimeter.
5. The value of resistance of the bulb in second instance is more than the resistance of the bulb in open circuit.
6. Here the increase in temperature of the filament in the bulb is responsible for increase in resistance of the bulb.
7. Thus the value of resistance of a conductor depends on the temperature.

Question 4.
What do you mean by electric shock? Explain how it takes place.
Answer:

• If we touch live wire of 240V which gives 0.0024 A of current flows through the body the function g of organs inside the body gets disturbed.
• This disturbance inside the body is felt as electric shock.
• If the current flow continues further, it damages the tissues of the body which leads to decrease ¡n resistance of the body.
• When this current flows for a longer time, damage to the tissues increases and there by the resistance of human body decreases further.
• Hence, the current through the human body will increase.
• If this current reaches 0.07 A, it affects the functioning of the heart.
• If this current passes through the heart for more than one-second t could be fatal.

Question 5.

Answer:
A circuit diagram in which two resistors A and B are connected ¡n series with a battery and a voltmeter is connected to measure the p.d. across the resistor A.

Question 6.
In the below figure, the potential at A is ……………………… when the potential at B is zero.

Answer:
Apply Kirchoff’s loop rule V_A-5 x 1 – 2—V_b=0
V_A-5 – 2-0 =0 ⇒V_A = 7V
The potential at A = 7V when the potential at B = O

Question 7.
How does a battery work? Explain.
Answer:
1. A battery consists of two metal plates (electrodes) and a chemical (electrolyte).
2. This electrolyte consists positive and negative ions which move In opposite directions.
3. This electrolyte exerts a force called chemical force (F_c) to make the ions move in a specified direction.
4. Positive Ions move towards one plate and accumulate on that. As a result this plate becomes positively charged (Anode).

5. Negative Ions move to another plate and accumulate on that. As a result of this the plate becomes negatively charged (Cathode).
6. This accumulation continues till both plates are sufficiently charged.
7. But the ions experience another force called electric force (F_e) when sufficient number of charges accumulated on the plates.
8. The direction of F_e is opposite to F_c and magnitude depends on the amount of charge accumulated on the plates.
9. The accumulation of charges on plates is continuous till F_e becomes equal to F_c Now there will not be any motion due to balance of F_e and F_c.

10. The new battery that we buy from the shop is under the Influence of balanced forces. This Is the reason for the constant RD. between the terminals of a battery.

11. When a conducting wire Is connected to the terminals of the battery, a RD. is created between the ends of the conductor which sets up an electric field through-out the conductor.

12. The large number of electrons In the conductor, near the positive terminal of the battery are attracted by It and start to move towards positive terminal. As a result the amount of positive charge on this plate decreases. So F_e becomes weaker than F_c and F_c pulls negative ions from anode towards cathode.

13. The negative terminal pushes one electron into the conductor because of stronger repulsion between negative terminal and negative ion.

14. Hence. the total number of electrons in the conductor remains constant during the current flow. The above-said process continues till F_e = F_c.

Question 8.
Explain Kirchhoff’s laws with examples.
Answer:
Kirchhoffs laws:
1. The junction law: At any junction point in a circuit where the current can divide, the sum of the currents in the junction must equal to the sum of the currents leaving the junction.
This means that there is no accumulation of electric charges at any junction in a circuit. Eg: ‘P Is the junction
I₁, I_4, and I₆ are the currents into the junction.
I₂, I_3, and I₅ are the currents leaving the junction.
According to Kirchhoff’s junction law
I₁+I₄+I₆ = I₂+I₃+I₅

2) The loop law: The algebraic sum of the increases and decreases in potential difference across various components of a closed circuit loop must be zero.
Eg: For the loop ACDBA
-V₂+I₂R₂-I₁R₁ +V₁=O
For the loop EFDCE
– (I₁ + I₂) R₃ -I₂R₂ + V₂ = O
For the loop EFBAE
-(I₁+I₂)R₃-I₁R₁+V₁=O

Question 9.
Deduce the expression for the equivalent resistance of three resistors connected In series.
Answer:
Two or more resistors are said to be connected in series if the current flowing through one, also flows through the others.
In series combination, we know that
1. The same current passes through the resistors.
2. The potential difference across combination of resistors is equal to the sum of the voltages across the individual resistors.
Connect the circuit as shown n the figure.
The cell connected across the series combination of 3 resistors maintains a potential difference (v) across the combination. The current through the combination is I.


Let us replace the combination of 3 resIstors by a single resistor R_eq such that current does not change.
R_eq is given by Ohm’s law as
R_eq = \( \frac{V}{I}\)
⇒V=IR_eq

The potential differences V₁, V₂, V₃ across the resistors R₁, R₂ and R₃
respectively are given by Ohm’s law as
V₁ = IR₁, V₂ = IR₂, V = IR₃
Since the resistances are connected in series
V= V₁ +V₂+V₃
IR_eq = IR₁ + IR₂ + IR₃
I (R_eq) = I (R₁ + R₂ + R₃)
⇒ R_eq = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
Similarly, for n resistors connected in series,
R_eq = R₁ + R₂ + R₃+ ………………………. +R_n.

Question 10.
Deduce the expression for the equivalent resistance of three resIstors connected In parallel.
Answer:
If resistances are connected in such a way that the same potential difference gets applied across each of them, they are said to be connected In parallel.

For a parallel combination, we know that,

1. The total current flowing Into the combination is equal to the sum of the currents passing through the individual resistors ⇒ I = I₁+ I₂+ I₃
2. The potential difference remains constant V₁ = V₂ = V₃ = V.
   Connect the circuit as shown in the figure.
3. The cell connected across 3 resistors maintains the same potential difference across each resistor.
4. The current I gets divided at A into 3 parts I₁ I₂ and I₃ which flows through R₁, R_2, and R₃ respectively.
5. Let us replace the combination of resistors by an equivalent resistance R_eq such that potential difference across the circuit does not change.
6. The equivalent resistance R_eq = \(\frac{V}{I} \Rightarrow I=\frac{V}{R_{e q}}\)
7. The currents I₁,I₂,I₃ across R₁,R₂ and R3 are given by I₁ = \(\frac{V}{R_1}\), I₂ = \(\frac{V}{R_2} \), I₃ = \(\frac{V}{R_3} \),

Since the resistors are in parallel,

Question 11.
What is the value of 1KWH in joules?
Answer:
1 KWH = (1000 J/s) (60 × 60s) = 3600 × 1000J = 3.6 × 10⁶ So, 1KWH is equal to 3.6 x 10⁶ Joules.

Question 12.
Silver is a better conductor of electricity than copper. Why do we use copper wire for conduction of electricity?
Answer:
Reasons:

• Copper has low resistivity. When electricity is passed through copper wires, the power losses in the form of heat are very small.
• Cost of copper versus that of silver metal, copper is less expensive.
• Copper has flexibility and resistance to breakage.
• Copper is cheaply available than silver.

Application of concepts

Question 1.
Explain overloading of household circuit.
Answer:

1. Electricity enters our homes through two wires called lines. These lines have low resistance and the potential difference between the wires is usually about 240 V.
2. All electrical devices are connected in parallel in our home. Hence, the potential drop across each device is 240 V.
3. Based on the resistance of each electric device, it draws some current from the supply. Total current drawn from the mains is equal to the sum of the currents passing through each device.
4. If we add more devices to the household circuit the current drawn from the mains also increases.
5. This leads to overheating and may cause a fire. This is called “overloading”.

For example:
If we switch on devices, such as heater shown in the figure, from the mains exceeds the maximum limit 20 A.

Question 2.
Why do we use fuses in household circuits?
Answer:

1. The fuse consists of a thin wire of low melting point.
2. To prevent damages due to overloading we connect an electric fuse to the household circuit.
3. When the current in the fuse exceeds 20A, the wire will heat up and melt.
4. The circuit then becomes open and prevents the flow of current into the household circuit. So all the electric devices are saved from damage that could be caused by overload.
5. Thus, we can save the household wiring and devices by using fuses.

Question 3.
Two bulbs have ratings 100W, 220V, and 60W, 220V. Which one has the greater resistance?
Answer:
Resistance of first bulb R₁ = \(\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{220 \times 220}{100}\) = 484 Ω
Resistance of second bulb R₂ = \(\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{220 \times 220}{60}=\frac{4840}{6}\) = 806.6Ω
∴ The bulb rated 60W, 220V has higher resistance.

Question 4.
Why don’t we use series arrangement of electrical appliances like bulb, Television, fan and others in domestic circuits?
Answer:

1. We have seen that in a series circuit, the current is constant throughout the electric circuit.
2. But it is obviously impracticable to connect an electric bulb and an electric heater in series because they need currents of widely different values to operate properly.
3. Another major disadvantage of a series circuit is that when one component fails, the circuit is broken and none of the other components works.

Question 5.
Are the headlights of a car connected in series or parallel? Why?
Answer:
The headlights of a car are connected in parallel.
Reason:

• When they are connected in parallel, same voltage (P.D) will be maintained in the two lights.
• If one of the lights damaged, the other will work without any disturbance.

Question 6.
Why should we connect electric appliances in parallel in a household circuit? What happens if they are connected in series?
Answer:
We should connect the electric appliances in parallel to household circuit because

• Each appliance gets the full voltage.
• The parallel circuit divide the current through the appliances. Each appliance gets proper current depending on its resistance.
• If one appliance is switched on/off others are not affected.

If appliances are connected in series the following disadvantages are arised:

• The same current will flow through all the appliances, which is not desired.
• Total resistance becomes large and the current gets reduced.
• We cannot use independently on/off switches with individual appliances.
• All appliances have to be used simultaneously even if we don’t need them.

Question 7.
If the resistance of your body is 10000012, what would be the current that flows in your body when you touch the terminals of a 12V battery?
Answer:
Resistance of the body (R) 1,00,000 Ω
Potential difference of the battery (V) =12V
Current that flows in the body (I) = ?
According to Ohm’s law, \(\frac{V}{I}\) = R
⇒ I = \(\frac{V}{R}=\frac{12}{1,00,000}\) = 0.00012 A

Question 8.
A wire of length 1m and radius 0.1 mm has a resistance of 100W. Find the resistivity of the material.
Answer:
Resistance of wire, R = 100 Ω
Radius of wire, r = 0.1mm = 1 x 10^-4 m
Length of wire, l = 1m
Formula for resistivity of wire: ρ = \(\frac{R A}{l}=\frac{R \pi r^2}{l} \)
Substituting the given values, ρ = \(\frac{22}{7} \times 10^2 \times \frac{10^{-4} \times 10^{-4}}{l} \) = \(\frac{22}{7} \times 10^{-6} \) ohm—meter
= 3.14 × 10^-6 ohm-mt

Question 9.
Why do we consider tungsten as a suitable material for making the filament of a bulb?
(Or)
What is the reason for using tungsten as a filament in electric bulb?
Answer:
Tungsten has a high resistivity value (5.60 ×10^-8 m) and a high melting point (3422°C). So the filament of a bulb is usually made of tungsten. Its high resistivity enables the filament to become red hot soon and then it produces white heat to emit light. Its high melting point keeps it in a solid state and also prevents oxidation.

Question 10.
How can you appreciate the role of a small fuse in house wiring circuit in preventing damage to various electrical appliances connected to the circuit?
Answer:

1. The fuse consists of a thin wire of low melting point. When the current in the fuse exceeds $20 \mathrm{~A}$, the wire will heat up and melt.
2. The circuit then becomes open and prevents the flow of current into the household circuit. So all the electric devices are saved from change that could be caused by overload.
3. Thus we can save the house holding wiring and devices by using fuses.
4. So we should appreciate the role of fuse in preventing damage to electrical appliances in household circuits.

Question 11.
Uniform wires of resistance 100c are melted and recast into wire of length double that of the original. What would be the resistance of the new wire formed?
Answer:
Before recasting,
Resistance R₁ = 100 Ω
length (l₁)= l (say)
After recasting
Resistance R₂ = ?
length (‘l₂) = 2l

We know that R α l,
\(\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}\)

Answer:
Let R₁ = 30Ω, R₂ = 30Ω, R₃ = 30Ω

Question 2.
A house has 3 tube lights, two fans and a Television. Each tube light draws 40W. The fan draws 80W and the Television draws 60W. On the average, all the tube lights are kept on for five hours, two fans for 12 hours and the television for five hours every day. Find the cost of electric energy used in 30 days at the r ate of Rs. 3.00 per Kwh.
Answer:
Power consumption by tube lights in a day = 40W x 3 x 5H = 600 WH
Power consumption by fans in a day = 80W x 2 x 12H = 1920 WH
Power consumption by television in a day = 60W x 1 x 5H = 300 WH
Total power consumption in a day = 600 + 1920 + 300 = 2820 WH
Power consumption for 30 days = 2820 x 30 = 84600 WH

Rate of 1 KWH = Rs 3/- Total consumption = 84.60 x Rs.3 = Rs. 253.80

Question 3.

(iii) What is the potential drop across the resistor 3?
(iv) What is the total emf in the circuit if the potential drop across resistor 1 is 6V?
Answer:
(i) No. Resistors 3 and 4 are not in series. They are in parallel.
(ii) No.
(iii) As resistors 3 and 4 are in parallel, same potential difference will be allowed
through them. Hence the potential drop across resistor 3 is 8V.

Verification:
Aim: To verify Ohm’s law or to show that -=Co,,ctani
Materials required: 5 dry cells of 1.5V each, conducting wires, an ammeter,
a voltmeter, Manganin wire of length 10cm, LED and Key.

Procedure:
1. Connect a circuit as shown in figure.
2. Solder the connecting wires to the ends of the Manganin wire.
3. Close the key.
4. Note the readings of current from Baltery Key ammeter and potential difference from volt meter in the following table.

5. Now connect 2 cells (in series) instead of one cell in the circuit. Note the values of ammeter and voltmeter and record them in the above table.
6. Repeat the same for three cells, four cells, five cells respectively.
7. Record the values of V and I corresponding to each case in the table.
8. Find \(\frac{V}{I} \) for each set of values.
9. We notice that \(\frac{V}{I} \)  is a constant.
V ∝ I ⇒ \(\frac{V}{I} \)= Constant
This constant is known as resistance of the conductor, denoted by R.
⇒ \(\frac{V}{I} \) = R
∴ Ohm’s law is verified.

Question 2.
How do you verify that resistance of a conductor is proportional to the length of the conductor for constant cross-section area and temperature?
Answer:
1. Collect Iron spokes of different lengths with the same cross-sectional area.
2. Make a circuit as shown in the figure.
3. Connect one of the iron spokes between P and Q.
4. Measure the value of the current using the ammeter connected to the circuit and note in your notebook.
5. Repeat this for other lengths of the iron spokes. Note the corresponding values of currents in your notebook as shown below.

1. We observe that current decreases as the length of the spoke increases.
2. We also know that resistance increases as current decreases.
3. Hence the resistance of iron spoke increases as its length increases.
4. We conclude that the resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length for a constant-potential difference and constant cross-sectional area.

Suggested Projects

Question 1.
a. Take a battery and measure the potential difference. Make a circuit and measure the potential difference when the battery is connected in the circuit. Is there any difference in potential difference of battery?
Answer:

1. The potential difference across the terminals of a battery when it is not connected in any circuit is called the Electromotive force of battery or emf of battery.
2. As soon as the battery is connected to an external circuit, there will be a current through the battery as well as the external circuit.
3. Due to this current flowing through the battery, there will be a voltage drop inside the battery because of the internal resistance of the battery itself.
4. Hence when external circuit is connected, the voltage appeared across the terminal of the battery is somewhat less than the open circuit voltage of the battery.
5. This is because of voltage drop due to internal resistance ¡nside the battery.

b. Measure the resistance of a bulb (filament) in open circuit with a multimeter. Make a circuit with elements such as bulb, battery of 12V and key in series. Close the key. Then again measure the resistance of the same bulb (filament) for every 30 seconds. Record the Observations in a proper table. What can you conclude from the above results?
Answer:
Materials required: a bulb, 12 v battery, key, and multimeter.

Procedure:

1. Measuretheresistanceofabulb in open circuit.
2. Connect the bulb, battery and a key in series in a circuit as shown in fig.
3. Close the key and measure the resistance of a bulb for every 30 seconds with a multimeter and note down them in the following table.

Observations: Resistance of the bulb in open circuit = 4.3 Q.

Conclusion:

1. From the above observations, it is clear that the resistance of a bulb (filament increases as the time increases.
2. This Is because, as the current passes through the filament of a bulb, filament gets heated up and its temperature increases.
3. As the temperature of the filament increases, its 20 resistance also increases
4. So, the resistance of a conductor depends upon its temperature.

Question 2.

3. CFL lamp (20 W)
4. LED bulb (10 W)

Conclusion:

• From the above observations, it is clear that the LED bulb of low wattage has higher resistance.
• So, it is clear that the resistance of a electrical appliance is more ¡f its wattage is less.

Question 3.
Collect the information and prepare a report on power consumption in your home/school.
Answer:
In my house, we are using the following electric appliances.
Tubelights (40 W) – 3 (Using daily each for 8 hours)
Fans(80 W) – 3 (UsIng daily each for 10 hours)
Television (60 W) – 1 (UsIng daily each for S hours)
Electric heater (1000 W) – 1 (Using daily each for 30 mm)

Calculation of power consumption :

Total electric energy consumed Per Day = 4160 WH

Conclusion:
Total electric energy consumed for one month (30 days) = 4160 x 30 = 1248000
Total electric energy consumed for one month in KWH = \(\frac{124800}{1000} \) = 124.8 KWH
∴ We are consuming nearly 125 KWH (units) of electric energy in my house in a month.

Question 22.
Why does the battery discharge when ita positive and negative terminals are connected through s conductor?
Answer:
When a conducting wire is connected to the terminals of the battery, a potential difference Is created between the ends and it sets up an electric field throughout the conductor. The electrons near the positive terminal of the battery are attracted by it and start moving towards positive terminal. As a result, the amount of positive charge on the plate decreases and the F becomes weaker than F. So the battery becomes discharged.

Page 182

Question 23.
What happens when the battery is connected in a circuit?

1. We use materials like copper which are ohmic conductors to make household electrical wiring and in Industries.
2. Semiconductors which find an extensive application in modern electronic devices such as TV, DVD, Computers etc., are made up of non-ohmic materials.
3. The fuse, a device which protects household electrical appliances from high-voltage electric currents, is also an application of Ohm’s law.

Question 32.
What causes electric shock in the human body-current or voltage?
Answer:
It Is the electric current that causes electric shock in the human body. When 0.0024 Amperes of current flows through human body the functioning of organs inside the body gets disturbed. This disturbance inside the body Is felt as electric shock. ¡f the current flow continues further, It damages the tissues of the body which leads to decrease in resistance of the body.

Question 33.
Do you know the voltage of mains that we use in our household circuits?
Answer:
The voltage of mains that we use in our household circuits is 240V. Usually, it varies between 220V and 240V.

Question 34.
What happens to our body if we touch live wire of 240V?
Answer:
The current passing through our body when we touch a live wire of 240V is given by, I= \(\frac{240}{100000}\) = 0.024 A
When this quantity of current flows through the body the functioning of organs inside the body gets disturbed. This disturbance inside the body is felt as electric shock and damages the tissues of the body.
When this current flows for a longer time, damage to tissues increases and resistance of body decreases.
A current of 0.07A, effects the functioning of heart and it may lead to fatal consequences.

Question 35.
Why does not a bird get a shock when it stands on a high-voltage wire?
Answer:

1. There are two parallel transmission lines on electric poles.
2. The p.d. between the two lines is 240 V throughout their lengths.
3. When the bird stands on a high-voltage wire, there is no potential difference between the legs of the bird because it stands on a single wire.
4. If the two lines are connected across by a conducting device, then only current flows between the wires.
5. As the bird stands on a single wire no current passes through its body.
6. So, it does not feel any electric shock.
