Class : X Subject : Science & Tech.
Subject : Physics 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) In how many equal parts a wire having resistance of 100ohms be cut, so that we may obtain a resistance of 1 ohm by connecting them in parallel. 60 W, 220 V and 100 W, 220 V are connected in series to 440 V supply. Which of the two bulbs fuse? What happens if these bulbs are connected in parallel? What are the advantages of connecting electrical devices in parallel with the battery instead of connecting them in series? What are magnetic field lines? Write the properties of magnetic field line. What is solenoid? Explain with suitable diagram. On what factors the magnetic field inside the solenoid depend. Explain the factors on which force experiences on current carrying conductor kept in uniform magnetic field. Why are renewable source of energy is preferred over non-renewable source. Explain. Subject : Chemistry 1. 2. 3. 4. What happens when NaOH solution is heated with Zn and Al? Why is tartaric acid added into baking soda to get baking powder? Why does stale food gives a bad smell and bad taste? Action of water on calcium carbide is used for the preperation of acetylene gas used in welding. After the reaction calcium carbide is converted carbide is converted into slaked lime. Write the balanced equation for the reaction ? A white salt on heating decomposes to give brown fumes and a yellow residue is left behind. Name the salt and write the decomposition reaction. When you mix the solution of lead II nitrate and potassium iodide : a) b) c) 7. What is the colour of the precipitate formed ?Name the compound precipitated. Write the balenced chemical equation for this reaction . Is this also a double displacement reaction ?
