SECTION A (1×10)
2. A solid metal weighing 300g melts at its melting point of 800 𝐶 by providing heat at a rate of 200W.
The time taken for it to completely melt at the same temperature is 2min. What is the specific latent
heat of fusion of the metal? OR Define Specific latent heat of fusion. The
melting point of naphthalene is 80 𝐶 and the room temperature is 35 𝐶. A sample of liquid
naphthalene at 120 𝐶 is cooled down to the room temperature. Draw a temperature time graph to
represent this cooling. In this graph mark the region which corresponds to the freezing process
3. For which angle between magnetic field and length of the conductor magnetic force will (a) maximum
(b) zero. OR Advantage of electromagnet over permanent magnet.
4. An electric bulb is rated 240V-100W (a) Find resistance (b) Find energy consumed in 5 minute. (c) What
happen if we connect it with 100V instead of 240V? (d) What is the meaning of the statement? OR
Find the cost of operating an
electric toaster for two hours, if it draws 8A current on a 110V circuit. The cost of electrical energy is
10rs per kWh.
5. Define resonant vibrations. Which character of sound makes it possible to recognise a person by his
voice without seeing him. OR The ratio of the
intensities of two waves is 16 : 81, find the ratio of their amplitude and pitch.
SECTION C (5×4)
1. Name the factors that determine the (a) loudness (b) quality of note (c) Pitch
of note. A man standing in front of a wall hears an echo after 3 second. He walks x m away from the
wall and produce the same sound. Now he hears an echo after 5.25 second. Calculate the distance he
walked away from the wall. 3+2
2. Draw a graph plotting potential difference(V) vs Current(I) for ohmic
conductor. You have three resistance 2 Ω, 3 Ω and 5 Ω how can you join them to get equivalent
resistance of 6 Ω. Write Joule’s Law of heating. 1+2+2 OR How an
ammeter is connected to a circuit. Why fuse is an important electrical appliance? Write ohm’s law.
What is colour of earth wire? 1+2+1+1
3. Draw heating curve for water. What is anomalous expansion of water? Difference between heat
capacity and specific heat capacity. Which property of water makes it more effective coolant?
1+1+2+1
4. What are the harmful effects of radioactive radiation? State safety precautions in the disposal of
nuclear waste. What are background radiations? Define nuclear energy. 2+1+1+1
