Q4. Give scientific reasons.
1.     The material used for fuse has low melting point.
Ans.
i.                 A fuse is used to protect a circuit and the appliances connected in the circuit by stopping the flow of an excess electric current. For this, a fuse is connected in series in the circuit.
ii.               When the current in the circuit passes through the fuse, its temperature increases. When the current exceeds the specified value, the fuse must melt to break the circuit. For this, the material used for a fuse has low melting point.
2.     Wood and glass are good insulators.
Ans.
i.                 When a current flows through a conductor, the free electrons in the atoms move from one end of the conductor to the other.
ii.               Certain materials have less free electrons in their atoms and the current does not easily flow through the material.
iii.              There are no such free electrons in wood and glass. Hence they cannot conduct electricity. Hence, they are good insulators.
3.     The melting point of filament of a bulb is very high.
Ans.
i.                 The bulb begins to glow only when the filament is heated to a high temperature, and it becomes incandescent (bright) without melting.
ii.               This happens only when the material of the filament has a high melting point.
iii.              Hence, the material used in the filament of an electric bulb must have a high melting point.
4.     Connecting wires in a circuit are made of copper and aluminium.
Ans.
i.                 Copper and aluminium offer a low resistance to the flow of current and hence they are good conductors of electricity.
ii.               Copper and aluminium are highly ductile and hence can be used for preparing this wire.
iii.              Copper being more ductile, it is used in making thing wires, and aluminium is used for making thicker wires.
iv.              Thus, they are suitable for making wires used in electrical circuit.

Q5. Define
1.     1 volt: The potential difference between two points is said to be 1 volt if 1 joule of work is done in moving 1 coulomb of electric charge from one point to another.
2.     1 ampere: 1 coulomb of charge passing through a cross – section of a conductor in 1 second is one ampere. It is the S.I. unit of an electric current.
3.     1 ohm: If one ampere current flows through the conductor, and 1 volt potential difference is applied across it, then its resistance is 1 ohm.

If I is the current and V is the potential difference across the ends of a conductor then,
R is the resistance which is constant for given conductor. The SI unit of resistance is ohm (W)

Let ‘I’ be the current flow through each resistance.
2. According to Ohm’s Law,
                                                       
Conclusion
Therefore, equivalent resistance in series(R) is equal to the sum of the individual resistances

ii.               Resistors connected in parallel: If the numbers of resistance are connected between two common points, such that the potential difference across each resistance is the same, then the arrangement is called resistance in parallel.
