or maximum
5. Point ‘A’ is at a lower electrical potential than point ‘B’. An electron between them on the line joining them will
- (A) Move towards
A
- (B) Move towards
B
- (C) Move
at right angles to the line joining A and B
- (D) Remain at
rest
6. It takes much longer to cook food in the hills than in the plains, because
- (A) In the hills
the atmospheric pressure is lower than that in the plains and therefore water
boils at a temperature lower than 100°C causing an increase in
cooking time
- (B) Due to low
atmospheric pressure on the hills, the water boils at a temperature higher than 100°C and therefore water takes longer to boil
- (C) In
the hills the atmospheric density is low and therefore a lot of heat is lost to
the atmosphere
- (D) In the hills
the humidity is high and therefore a lot of heat is absorbed by the atmosphere
leaving very little heat for cooking
