Random collection of Physics Viva Questions State the Principle of a potentiometer. (The students say that potential drop is proportional to length but the constant quantities are not mentioned) How can we increase the sensitivity of a potentiometer? Define figure of merit of a galvanometer. Which has more resistance – a galvanometer or a milliammeter? How does an LED emit light? What is the difference between an ordinary diode and an LED? Define principal axis of a convex lens? What happens to the focal length of a concave mirror if it is immersed in water? What are the factors affecting the internal resistance of a cell? What are the difference between primary and secondary cell? Why can’t we use a dry cell for starting a car? What happens to the resistivity of a wire when it is doublefolded? How does the resistance of a wire depend on its dimensions? Why are the resistances used in a resistance box is like 1,2,2,5,10,20,20,50,100,200,200,500,1000,2000,2000,5000 etc? Why constantan or manganin wires are used for making the resistance coils in resistance box? What is a standard resistance? What are the characteristics of a standard resistance? What are the precautions to be observed while doing electricity experiments in general? What is a galvanometer? What is the resistance of an ideal ammeter? Why is ammeter always connected in series and voltmeter always connected in parallel? How can we convert a galvanometer into an ammeter or a voltmeter? What is shunt? What is AVO meter? What is the effect of temperature on the resistance of a conductor? Why does the resistance of a conductor increases with temperature, whereas that of a semiconductor decreases with temperature. What is conductance? What are non ohmic devices? give an example. What are superconductors? Define emf Why emf is said to be a misnomer? What happens if the battery used in the primary circuit of a potentiometer has less emf compared to the emf of the cell used in the secondary circuit?
