- Question
Suppose voltage V is applied across a resistance R. The power dissipated in the resistance is P. Now the same voltage V is applied across a parallel combination of three equal resistors each of resistance R. Then the power dissipated in the second case will be
Options- A. P
- B. 3P
- C. p/3
- D. 2p/ 3
- Correct Answer
- 3P
ExplanationP= I^2.R where, I= Current, P= Electric Power, R=Resistance. Here all the resistance is put in parallel combination and in parallel combination the value of Resistance decreases and dissipation of power increase, hence 3 times more power will be dissipated(3P).

Correct Answer: the doped silicon piece will become p-type
Explanation:
p type of semiconductor is obtained when Silicon is doped with a trivalent impurity like Aluminium. Aluminium is a p-type dopant, which means that when a semiconductor i.e. silicon is doped with aluminium, it creates a hole (positively charged carrier) by accepting an electron from the silicon atom. Electrical conductivity of semiconductors increasesand resistivity remains the same
Correct Answer: Kelvin
Correct Answer: Due to refraction
Correct Answer: Release of heat
Correct Answer: Electromagnetic waves do not show interference and diffraction.
Correct Answer: 7C
Explanation:
As the capacitance is charged by the factor equal to the value of dielectric constant, Hence, C? = kC = 7C
Correct Answer: A ring
Explanation:
For balancing the weight of ring, you need to put your finger or any solid object inside the ring so that you will be able to sustain their own weight because they are not able to sustain their own weight.so its centre of mass lies outside the body.
Correct Answer: C1 = C2
Explanation:
C1= capacitance of gold plates
C2= capacitance of aluminium plates
rg= Gold?s resistivity
ra= Aluminium?s resistivity
As the capacitance depends on the shape, size & geometrical placing of the conductors & the medium between them, hence, the value of capacitance will be independent of resistivity. Therefore, C1= C2
Correct Answer: The speeds of both the photons in vacuum are different
Explanation:
The speed of all the electromagnetic radiation are always same and equal to the numerical value 3 x 10^8m/sec.
Correct Answer: It follows the wave path near the tropopause at elevations of 8 km to 15 km.
Explanation:
All are correct except D, as Jet streams are phenomena of winter. It is believed that jet stream exercises an important influence on the winter weather in India.
