2. State Ohm's law. Draw a V-I graph for a conductor obeying Ohm's law.
3. What is resistance? On what factors does the resistance of a conductor
depend?

doubts.
26. Would you like to try solving a specific problem?
High-Order Thinking Questions for Electricity (Class 10)
27. Here are some high-order thinking questions (HOTS) to challenge

your understanding of electricity:
Conceptual Understanding:
28. Circuit Analysis: A circuit consists of two resistors, R1 and R2,

connected in series. If a third resistor, R3, is connected in parallel with
R2, how will the overall resistance of the circuit change? Explain your
reasoning.
29. Energy Transformation: When an electric bulb is lit, electrical
energy is transformed into light and heat energy. Explain how this
transformation occurs, considering the role of the filament in the bulb.
30. Ohm's Law: Is Ohm's law universally applicable? If not, under
what conditions does it fail? Provide examples.
Problem-Solving:
31. Circuit Design: Design a circuit that can be used to dim a light
bulb gradually using a potentiometer. Explain the working principle of
the potentiometer in this context.
32. Power Dissipation: Two resistors, R1 and R2, are connected in
parallel across a voltage source. If R1 > R2, which resistor will dissipate
more power? Justify your answer with calculations.
33. Real-World Application: A household circuit is protected by a fuse
rated at 15 A. Explain why a 2000 W electric heater cannot be safely
used on this circuit, even if the supply voltage is 220 V.
Critical Thinking:
34. Energy Efficiency: How can we improve the energy efficiency of
household appliances? Discuss specific measures that can be taken.
35. Ethical Considerations: The widespread use of electricity has led
to concerns about environmental impact and social equity. Discuss
these issues and propose solutions.
36. Future Trends: Predict the future of electricity generation and
distribution, considering emerging technologies like renewable energy
sources and smart grids.
Experimentation and Data Analysis:
37. Investigating Resistance: Design an experiment to determine the

resistance of a given resistor using Ohm's law. What precautions would
you take to ensure accurate measurements?
38. Analyzing Power Consumption: Collect data on the power
consumption of various household appliances. Analyze the data to
identify opportunities for energy conservation.
39. Exploring Electric Fields: Use simulation software to visualize
electric field lines around different charge configurations. How can you
use these visualizations to explain the behavior of charged particles?
