Q:

A wire of copper having length I and area of cross-section A is taken and a current / is flown through it. The power dissipated in the wire is P. If we take an aluminium wire having same dimensions and pass the same current through it, the power dissipated will be

A) P B) < P
C) > P D) 2P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) > P

Explanation:

Aluminum has a resistivity varying from 2.65 to 2.82 × 10−8 Ω m.The resistivity of copper is generally given as: 1.72 x 10-8 Ω.m.So, since resistivity of aluminium is higher than that of copper, so Power dissipated will be greater than P. this is because rest of the factors (l, A and i) are constant.

Q:

The law of conservation of energy states that

A) energy can neither be created nor destroyed B) energy can either be created nor destroyed
C) energy can neither be created or destroyed D) energy can either be created or destroyed
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) energy can neither be created nor destroyed

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is a law of science which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another.

In 1842, Julius Robert Mayer discovered the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Q:

Heat transfer by conduction occurs when molecules

A) Collide B) Combine
C) Heated D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Collide

Explanation:

Conduction is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules. It occurs when two object at different temperatures are in contact with each other. Heat flows from the warmer to the cooler object until they are both at the same temperature.
