85) If the three colour bands of a resistor are grey, violet and gold, what is the value of the resistor?
A [ ]) 6.7 ohms
B [v]) 8.7 ohms.
C [ ]) 7.7 ohms
D [ ]) 9.7 ohms.
E [ ]) HINTS- The values of these colours are 8, 7 and multiplier of 0.1. Therefore, the value of resistance
will be ( 87 X 0.1 ) = 8.7 ohms.
88) Two equal resistors R connected in series across a voltage source V dissipate power P.What would be
the power dissipated in the same resistors when they are connected in parallel across the same voltage
source ?
A [ v]) 4P.
B [ ]) P.
C [ ]) 2P.
D [ ]) 16P.
E [ ]) HINTS-Say R is the resistance of the identical two resistors. When they are connected in series across
a voltage source V, the equivalent resistance of the combination is 2R and then total power dissipated by the
resistors will be P = V² / 2R. When they are connected in parallel across the same voltage source V, the
equivalent resistance of the combination is R/2 then total power dissipated by the resistors will be V² / ( R /
2) = 4V² / 2R = 4P.
89) he ratio of the resistance of a 200 W, 230 V lamp to that of a 100 W, 115 V lamp will be

corner?
A [ ]) 9 Ω.
B [ ]) 6 Ω.
C [ ]) 3 Ω.
D [v]) 2 Ω.
E [ ]) HINTS-Whenever we look at the said triangle from any two of its corners, we will find that it is just a
parallel combination of one 3 Ω and one 6 Ω (3 + 3 = 6) resistor. Thus, the resistance across these two
corner points of the triangle will be ( 3 X 6 )/ ( 3 + 6 ) = 18 / 9 = 2 Ω.

B [v]) R.
C [ ]) 2R.
D [ ]) 4R.
E [ ]) HINTS-The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional
to its cross - sectional area. As the length and cross - sectional area both have become double, there will no
change in resistance of the wire.

92) Resistance of which material does not change with change in temperature ?
A [ ]) Platinum.
B [v]) Metal alloys constantan and manganin.
C [ ]) Brass.

98) Which of the following quantities remain the same in all parts of a parallel circuit
A [ ]) current.
B [v]) voltage.
C [ ]) resistance.
D [ ]) power.

99) When resistance element of a heater fuses and then we reconnect it after removing a
portion of it, the power of heater will
A [ ]) decrease
B [v]) increase.
C [ ]) remain constant.
D [ ]) none of these.
E [ ]) HINTS-If we remove a portion of resistance in that initial resistance, then the current resistance value
will be decreased. This leads to flow more current than the previous case.Hence, according to the power
equation (P = VI), if current increases then the power of the heater also increases.
100) Three identical resistors are first connected in parallel and then in series. The
resultant resistance of the first combination to the second will be
A [ ]) 9 times.
B [v]) 1 / 9 times.
C [ ]) 3 times.
D [ ]) 1 / 3 times.
E [ ]) HINTS-If we connect three identical resistors, R in parallel, then the equivalent resistance is [ R / 3].
If we add that three [ R ] resistances in series, then the equivalent resistance is [ 3R ].Now the resultant
resistance of the first combination to the second will be [ R / 3 ] / 3R = [ 1 / 9].
