Calculate the resistivity of a wire of length 2m and cross-sectional area 0.004cm2 if the resistance is 3.0 Ω.

A.

0.0000267Ωcm

B.

0.006Ωcm

C.

0.26700Ωcm

D.

0.27500Ωcm

E.

0.060000Ωcm

Which of the following statement is not correct about loaded spiral spring?

A.

The extension is proportional to the load applied, provided the elastic limite is not exceeded

B.

If the elsatic limit is not exceeded, the contraction is proportional to the load removed.

C.

Up to the yield limit, extension is no longer proportional to the applied load.

D.

Beyond the elsatic limit, extension is no longer proportional to the applied load.

E.

What is the effect of using split-rings in a simple d.c motor?

A.

The direction of rotation of the coil is reversed

B.

The current in the coil flows in the same direction

C.

The current in the coil becomes alternating

D.

The direction of the force on the coil is reversed

E.

The contact with the voltage is cut-off

Correct answer is A

Split ring is used for reversing the direction of current in the coil. For the continuous rotation of the coil in the same direction, the current in the coil must be reversed.
