SECTION – D
11. (a) The potential difference across the two ends of a circuit component is decreased to
one- third of its initial value, while its resistance remains constant. What change will
be observed in the current flowing through it? Name and state the law which helps us
to answer this question. [5]
(b) Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a battery of four 1.5 V cells,
c a5
 resistor, a 10  resistor and a 15  resistor and a plug key, all connected in series.
Now find (i) the electric current passing through the circuit, and (ii) potential
difference across the 1010 resistor when the plug key is closed.
OR

change, if the diameter of the wire is doubled?

SECTION - E
Case- based / data based questions. [4 Marks]
12. A highly polished surface such as a mirror reflects most of the light falling on it. In our
daily life we use two types of mirrors – plane and spherical. The reflecting surface of a
spherical mirrors may be curved inwards or outwards. In concave mirrors, reflection
takes place from the inner surface, while in convex mirrors reflection takes place from
the outer surface.
Attempt either subpart (a) or (b)
(a) An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from the pole of a convex mirror of focal
length 15 cm. Find the position of the image.
OR
(b) A mirror forms a virtual, erect and diminished image of an object. Identify the type of
this mirror. Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.
(c) Define the principal axis of a concave mirror.
(d) A ray of light is incident on a concave mirror, parallel to its principal axis. If this ray
after reflection from the mirror passes through the principal axis from a point at a
distance of 10 cm from the pole of the mirror, find the radius of curvature of the
mirror.
