Ques.1.Ā Which of the following is the dimensional formula for conductance or conductivity?
Mā1 Lā2 T3 A2ā
MĀ L3 Tā3 Aā2
M2 L2 Tā3 Aā2
MĀ L2 T3 Aā2
The conductance is given as
Conductance = 1Ā ā Resistance
Firstly consider the resistance.
Ohmās law states that electric current flowing through the conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference between its two ends when the temperature and other physical parameters of the conductorĀ remain unchanged.
VĀ =Ā IR
āĀ RĀ =Ā VI
NowĀ VĀ has units of (electric field)*(distance).
But the electric field has units (force)/(charge).
Also, charge has dimensions of (current)(time) and force has dimensions (mass)(length)/(time)2.
Thus, dimensions ofĀ VĀ is,
[V]Ā =Ā LMLTā2Ā āĀ AT
āĀ [V]Ā = M LĀ² TĀ ā»Ā³ Aā»Ā¹
Dimensional formula for I = A
Put these values in equation (1), we get:
The dimensional formula for R = M L2Ā Tā3Ā Aā1/ A
Dimensional formula for R = [M L2Ā TĀ ā3Ā Aā2]
Now the Dimensional formula of conductance will be
G = 1Ā āĀ [M L2Ā TĀ ā3Ā Aā2]
G = [Mā1 Lā2 T3 A2]
Ques.2.Ā Which of the following is the CORRECT expression for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor?
ĪµA/dā
ĪµA2/d
ĪµA2d2
A2d2/Īµ
The capacitance C of a capacitor is the ratio of the magnitude of the charge on either conductor (plate) to the magnitude of the potential c^lif^rerence between the conductors (plates).
C = Q/V
THE PARALLEL-PLATE CAPACITOR
The figure shows the structure of a parallel plate capacitor. It is made up of two parallel plates of the area of cross-section A, kept in an insulating medium and separated from each other by a distance of d metros. Then, if the two plates are applied with a potential, one of the plates will be positively charged and the other negatively charged. Let the charge on the plates be given by Q coulombs.Ā
The capacitance of a device depends on the geometric arrangement of the conductors. The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor with plates separated air can be easily calculated from three facts.
The magnitude of the electric field between two plates is given E = Ļ/Īµo, where Ļ is the magnitude of the charge per unit area on each plate andĀ ĪµĪæĀ =Ā Permittivity of free space =Ā 8.85Ā ĆĀ 10-12
Second, the potential difference between the two plates is ĪV = Ed, where d is the distance between the plates.
Third, the charge one plate is given by q = ĻA, where A is the area of the plate. Substituting the three facts into the definition of capacitance gives the desired result:
Ques.3. In a series combination of several inductors, the equivalent inductance is______
Equal to the largest inductance of the combination
Lower than the largest inductance of the combination
Lower than the smallest inductance of the combination
Greater than the largest inductance of the combinationā
Let us Suppose that the three ResistanceĀ L1, L2, L3Ā ofĀ 1 Henry, 2 Henry, and 3 Henry are connected in series respectively.
Now add all the inductance of the circuit we get
LeqĀ = L1Ā + L2Ā + L3 LeqĀ = 1 + 2 + 3 = 5H
Now from the above result, we can conclude that the equivalent Inductance in the series combination isĀ greater than the largest Inductance in the combination (since the largest Inductance was 3H).
Therefore, Option.4. is correct.

Conductivity
The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current through that conductor. The inverse quantity is electrical conductance or conductivity and is the ease with which an electric current passes. Electrical conductance is measured inĀ siemensĀ (S) ĻĀ and denoted byĀ (G).
The material having a high value of conductivity is a good conductor of electricity while the material having a low value of conductivity is a good insulator.
Ques.5. Determine the value of equivalent inductance, if 4 inductors having inductance L are connected in parallel.

Inductors are sometimes connected in parallel in a circuit. Two or more circuit elements are said to be in parallel when they share the same pair of nodes. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the parallel circuit elements is the same, but the current through each of the elements might be different. Let us consider four inductors that are connected in parallel to a source voltage V as shown in Fig. In these cases, the voltage across each of these resistors will be V.
Note:- Inductor connected in parallel combine same way as the resistor in parallel.
According to Ohm’s law, the currents the current I1, I2, I3, I4 through the corresponding inductors L1, L2, L3 & L4 can be written as

G = 3/30 =0.1Ā Siemens

Resistance Temperature Coefficient:
The change in resistance of a material with the increase in temperature can be expressed b means of the temperature coefficient of resistance. Consider a conductor having resistanceĀ RoĀ at 0Ā°cĀ andĀ RtĀ at tĀ°c. From the above discussion, we can conclude that the change in the resistance i.eĀ (RtĀ ā Ro)Ā is
Directly proportional to the initial resistanceĀ Ro
Directly proportional to the rise in temperatureĀ tĀ°c.
Depends on the nature of the material for conductor metals and alloy
Hence
(RtĀ ā Ro)Ā āĀ Rot
(RtĀ ā Ro) = Ī±Rot
RtĀ =Ā Ro(1 +Ā Ī±ot)
WhereĀ Ī±o is constant and called the temperature coefficientĀ of resistance at 0Ā°c and its value depends upon the nature of material and temperature.

To identify whether the resistance is connected in series or in parallel consider the following method
Use one color for each continuous wire
DO NOT cross any circuit elements
Any element that sharesĀ the same two colors are in parallel
Now the circuit will look as shown below
As you can see from the above figure the two resistanceĀ of 1 ohm each share two common colors i.e yellow and green hence this two resistance are parallel.
