(b) temperature of the resistor
(c) magnitude of current
(d) time for which current is passed
Give Scientific reason
In the electric equipment producing heat e.g. iron, electric heater, boiler, toaster etc, an alloy such as Nichrome is used, not pure metals.

Your teacher has shown you the following activity.

Activity: Teacher has wound a long insulated piece of wire around an iron nail in the form of a coil. Free ends of the wire are connected to a cell through a switch as shown in the following figure. The current is switched on and some pins are placed near the ends of the nail.
Write down any three questions that come to your mind about this activity.
Paheli took a wire of length 10 cm. Boojho took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness. Both of them connected the wires as shown in the circuit given in the following figure. The current flowing in both the circuits is the same.
- Will the heat produced in both cases be equal? Explain.
- Will the heat produced be the same if the wires taken by them are of equal lengths but of different thickness? Explain.

Explain the working of an electric fuse.
It would cost a man Rs. 3.50 to buy 1.0 kW h of electrical energy from the Main Electricity Board. His generator has a maximum power of 2.0 kW. The generator produces energy at this maximum power for 3 hours. Calculate how much it would cost to buy the same amount of energy from the Main Electricity Board.
Fuse is a strip of alloy wire which is made up of lead and tin with a very low ______.
Match the following
| 1. | Bulb | a. | Conductor |
| 2. | Electroplating | b. |
Insulator |
| 3. | Pure water | c. | Heating effect of current |
| 4. | Salt solution | d. | Chemical effect of current |
Assertion: A current-carrying wire should be charged.
Reason: The current in a wire is due to the flow of free electrons in a definite direction.
Explain why fuse wire is always connected in a series arrangement.
