Question
State Ohm's law. Write the necessary conditions for its validity. How is this law verified experimentally? What will be the nature of graph between potential difference and current for a
conductor? Name the physical quantity that can be obtained from this graph.
✓

Answer

Ohm's law: The potential difference across the ends of a resistor is directly proportional to the current through it, provided it's temperature remains the same.
The conditions for its validity is temperature and all other parameters should be constant.
The nature of the graph is a straight line passing through the origin.
Resistance is the physical quantity that can be determined from the graph.

A scientist removed some cells from the growing point of a plant and placed it in a suitable medium leading to the formation of a shapeless lump of mass X. X is then transferred to another medium which stimulates it to develop roots. When X with developed roots is placed in a yet another medium, then it develops shoots to form tiny plantlets. These plantlets can then be transplanted in pots or soil where they can grow to form mature plants.

X, Y, and Z are three animals. The animal X can fly but animal Y can only run on ground or walls. The forelimbs of animals X and Y have the same basic design but they are used for different purposes such as flying and running respectively. The animal Z became extinct an long time ago. The study of fossils of Z tells us that it had some features like those of X and some like those of Y. In fact, Z is said to form a connecting link in the evolutionary chain of X and Y.
  1. What could the animals X, Y and Z be?
  2. What name is given to the forelimbs like those of X and Y which have the same basic design but different functions?
