Q5 mcq
A carbon resistor of (47 ± 4.7) kΩ is to be marked with rings of different colours for its identification. The colour code sequence will be
a.
Yellow – Green – Violet – Gold
b.
Yellow – Violet – Orange – Silver Correct Answer
c.
Violet – Yellow – Orange – Silver
d.
Green – Orange – Violet – Gold
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
47 kΩ = 47 × 10^3 Ω, and the tolerance ±4.7 kΩ corresponds to ±10%. Thus the 4-band code is Yellow (4), Violet (7), Orange (10^3), Silver (±10%).
Q44 mcq
Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area A and the second wire has cross-sectional area 3A. If the length of the first wire is increased by Δl on applying a force F, how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?
a.
4F
b.
6F
c.
9F Correct Answer
d.
F
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Same volume means if the second wire has area 3A, its length is l/3. Using Δl = FL/(AY), the required force comes out to be 9F.
