Q:

Brightness of bulb depends on voltage or current?

A) Current B) Voltage
C) Both A & B D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both A & B

Explanation:

Brightness of bulb depends on both voltage and current. The brightness depends on power.

Since we know that  Power (P) = Voltage x Current = V I

So whether you increase the current or the voltage the brightness will increase.

 

Example Illustration:

 If you connect a long bulb and a round bulb in series, the long bulb glows but the round bulb does not. Both of them have the same current flowing through them (they are in series) but the long bulb has a greater voltage across it because it has more resistance (even though V= IR is not obeyed exactly, voltage drop does depend on the resistance). If you connect a round bulb and a long bulb in parallel, however, it is the round bulb that is brighter because now the voltage across both bulbs is the same but the current is larger through the round bulb (smaller resistance).

 

Hence, the brightness of a bulb depends on power i.e, both voltage and current.

Q:

Statement I :

Bioaccumulation is a process of progressive accumulation of heavy metals and pesticides in an organism.

Statement II :

Large fishes of the pond are found to have higher concentration of pesticides than planktons of the same pond.

 

A) Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

Explanation:

Bioaccumulation is defined as the increase in concentration of a substance(s) in an organism or a part of that organism.

The affected organism has a higher concentration of the substance than the concentration in the organism's surrounding environment.

For the second statement: Microorganisms eat pesticide infected things. Invertebrates eat hundreds of the microorganisms and plants infected with the pesticides, accumulating a pretty large amount of the toxin in them.

The invertebrates are generally then eaten by larger invertebrates or amphibians, which ingest hundreds of similar organisms, accumulating an even higher concentration of toxins in their bodies. Then the fish eat hundreds of these organisms, accumulating the highest concentration of toxins in themselves.
