Electric Circuits
If you double the length of a wire while keeping other factors constant, what happens to its resistance?
The resistance halves.
The resistance quadruples.
The resistance doubles.
The resistance remains unchanged.
How would you design an experiment to test the impact of temperature on the resistivity of a semiconductor, accounting for the intrinsic carrier concentration increase at higher temperatures?
Compare resistivity at room temperature to that at boiling point without controlling environmental conditions or accounting for possible impurities in the material.
Observe changes in current with varying temperatures while keeping voltage constant, disregarding semiconductor properties like band gap energy.
Measure resistivity at various temperatures, ensuring constant dimensions and contact resistance, while considering error from thermal expansion and voltmeter sensitivity.
Record resistance changes under different light intensities, assuming that temperature remains constant without actual temperature measurements.
If two identical wires made of different materials have different resistivities, what can be concluded about their electron mobility?
Electron mobility is lower in the material with higher resistivity.
Electron mobility cannot be compared without knowing specific temperatures for each material.
Both materials have equal electron mobility since wires are identical physically.
Electron mobility is higher in the material with higher resistivity.
If the length of a wire is doubled while its cross-sectional area and material remain unchanged, what happens to its resistance?
It halves.
It remains unchanged.
It doubles.
It quadruples.
Which combination would make a light bulb filament offer high electrical resistance?
The filament has a short length and a small cross-sectional area
The filament has long length and a narrow cross-sectional area
It has short length and a broad cross-sectional area
The filament has a short length and a wide cross-sectional area
What electrical quantity does Ohm’s law () determine how changes in?
Current
Voltage and Current
Voltage
Resistance
What would occur to both current through, and voltage across, an iron resistor if its temperature significantly increases without altering other physical properties or applied voltage?
Both current through and voltage across increase due to heightened thermal agitation improving conductivity.
Current decreases while voltage remains constant due to an increase in resistive opposition from higher temperatures.
Current stays unchanged while voltage drops since rising temperatures mainly affect energy levels within atoms.
Both current through and voltage across decrease proportionally as temperature-induced resistive forces rise.
