How does the resistance of a wire vary with its area of cross-section?
Explain why, the current that makes the heater element very hot, only slightly warms the connecting wires leading to the heater.
A heating coil has a resistance of 200 Ω. At what rate will heat be produced in it when a current of 2.5 A flows through it?
A resistance of 25 Ω is connected to a 12 V battery. Calculate the heat energy in joules generated per minute.
The electrical resistivities of four materials P, Q, R and S are given below:
| P | `6.84xx10^8`Ωm |
| Q | `1.70xx10^8`Ωm |
| R | ` 1.0xx10^15`Ωm |
| s | `11.0xx10^-7`Ωm |
Which material will you use for making: (a) heating element of electric iron (b) connecting wires of electric iron (c) covering of connecting wires? Give reason for your choice in each case.
An electric iron is connected to the mains power supply of 220 V. When the electric iron is adjusted at ‘minimum heating' it consumes a power of 360 W but at 'maximum heating’ it takes a power of 840 W. Calculate the current and resistance in each case.
Which electric heating device in your home do you think have resistors which control the flow of electricity?
Statement 1 : Electric current ( flow of electrons ) creates heat in the resistor.
Statement 2 : Heat in the resistor is created according to the rule of energy conservation.
Explain Statement 1 with the help of Statement 2.
In an electric bulb, coil of _______ metal is used.
Write scientific reason.
A coil made up of alloy Nichrome is used in the electric heater cooker as a resistor.
The heating element of an electric iron is made up of:
An electric kettle consumes 1 kW of electric power when operated at 220 V. A fuse wire of what rating must be used for it?
How does use of a fuse wire protect electrical appliances?
______ wire is used in the filament of the bulbs.
A fuse is used in an electric circuit to stop high currents flowing through the circuit.
The electric fuse works on the Joule heating principle.

In a set up the students coated iron nails with zinc metal and noted that, iron nails coated with zinc prevents rusting. They also observed that zinc initially acts as a physical barrier, but an extra advantage of using zinc is that it continues to prevent rusting even if the layer of zinc is damaged. Name this process of rust prevention and give any two other methods to prevent rusting.
An electric kettle of 2 kW is used for 2h. Calculate the energy consumed in
- kilowatt hour and
- joules.
What is the heating effect of electric current?
