EXPLANATIONS
1. (c)
As both metal wires are of identical ! dimensions, so their, length and area of cross- ! section will be same. Let them be / and A \ respectively. Then The resistance of the first wire is
2. (c)
The circuit is shown in the figure.
As ammeter is in series with 40.8 Ω
∴Total resistance of the circuit is
R = 40.8 Ω + Ra = 40.8 Ω+ 19.2 Ω = 60 Ω
By Ohm’s law,
Current in the circuit is

4.(e)
The current flowing in the different branches of circuit is indicated in the figure.
5. (d)
The area of cross section of conductor is non uniform so current density will be different but the flow of electrons will be uniform so current will be constant.

KirchhofFs junction law or KirchhofFs first law is based on the conservation of charge. KirchhofFs loop law or KirchhofFs second law is based on the conservation of energy.
Hence both statements (A) and (B) are correct.
56.(a)
Resistance of a conductor is given by
R = p 1/a , where p is the specific resistance, l is the length and A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor.
Now, when l = 1 and A = 1, R = p.
So specific resistance or resistivity of a material may be defined as the resistance of a specimen
of the material having unit length and unit cross¬section.
Hence, specific resistance is a property of a material and it will increase with the increase of temperature, but will not vary with the dimensions (length, cross¬section) of the conductor.
57. (a)
For metals specific resistance decrease with decrease in temperature whereas for semiconductors specific resistance increases with decrease in temperature.
