Question
Why do electricians wear rubber hand gloves while working with electricity?
Solution
Electricians wear rubber hand gloves while working with electricity because rubber is an insulator and it will prevent them from getting electric shock, in case of short circuit or overloading.

Name a device which helps to maintain potential difference across a conductor (say, a bulb).
If a potential difference of 10 V causes a current of 2 A to flow for 1 minute, how much energy is transferred?
The values of potential difference V applies across a resistor and the corresponding values of current I flowing in the resistor are given below:
| Potential differences, V (in volts) | : | 2.5 | 5.0 | 10.0 | 15.0 | 20.0 | 25.0 |
| Current, I (in amperes) | : | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.4 | 0.6 | 0.8 | 1.0 |
Keeping the potential difference constant, the resistance of a circuit is doubled. The current will become:
