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.

उत्तर
Material S will be used for making the heating element of an electric iron as it has a high resistivity .
Material Q will be used for making the connecting wires of an electric iron as it has a low resistivity
Material R will be used for making the covering of the connecting wires as it has an extremely high resistivity.

Two students decided to investigate the effect of water and air on iron object under identical experimental conditions. They measured the mass of each object before placing it partially immersed in 10 ml of water. After a few days, the object were removed, dried and their masses were measured. The table shows their results.
| Student | Object | Mass of Object before Rusting in g |
Mass of the coated object in g |
| A | Nail | 3.0 | 3.15 |
| B | Thin plate | 6.0 | 6.33 |
