Choices
| Choice (4) | Response | |
|---|---|---|
a. |  Symbol of Voltmeter (Choice A) | |
b. |  Symbol of Resistor Box (Choice B) | |
c. |  Symbol of Variable Resistor (Choice C) | |
d. |  Symbol of Fuse (Choice D) | |
Answer
c.Explanation
Here in circuit we want the brightness of the lamp to be varied from bright to dim
And for that we have to connect variable resistance because using variable resistance we can very current and then we can control the brightness of lamp.

Question
A beam of cathode rays passes through an electric field between two parallel plates.
A Beam of Cathode Inserted between Two Parallel Plates
In which direction is the beam deflected?
Choices
| Choice (4) | Response | |
|---|---|---|
a. | out of the page | |
b. | into the page | |
c. | towards the top of the page | |
d. | towards the bottom of the page | |
Answer
c.Explanation
Cathode rays carries negative charges, so when it passes through two plates as shown in figure positively charged plate attract this beam of cathode rays, therefore it deflected towards the top of the page.
