प्रश्न
A fan with copper winding in its motor consumes less power compared to a similar fan with aluminium winding. Explain.
उत्तर
A copper wire has higher conductance than an aluminium wire. So, a copper wire offer less resistance to the current flow than an aluminium wire. Thus, there is more heat dissipation in an aluminium wire than in a copper wire. This is why a fan with copper winding in its motor consumes less power compared to a similar fan with aluminium winding.

A steady current flows in a metallic conductor of non-uniform cross-section. Which of these quantities is constant along the conductor: current, current density, electric field, drift speed
One of your friends says that he has read in the previous chapters that there can be no electric field inside a conductor. Consequently, there can be no current through it. What is the fallacy of this argument?
Does a conductor become charged when a current is passed through it?
Assertion: A current flows in a conductor only when there is an electric field within the conductor.
Reason: The drift velocity of electron in presence of electric field decreases.
A hank of uninsulated wire consisting of seven and a half turns is stretched between two nails hammered into a board to which the ends of the wire are fixed. The resistance of the circuit between the nails is determined with the help of electrical measuring instruments. Determine the proportion in which the resistance will change if the wire is unwound so that the ends remain to be fixed to the nails.
Which of the following characteristics of electrons determines the current in a conductor?
Assertion: When current through a bulb decreases by 0.5%, the glow of bulb decreases by 1%.
Reason: Glow (Power) which is directly proportional to square of current.
