SECTION —-E » The following questions are source based/ case based questions. Read the case carefully and answer the questions that follows. 37. The domestic electric circuit consist of red insulated cover called as live wire, wire with black insulation called as neutral wire and the wire with green insulation is called as Earth wire We know that fuse is connected in series with the circuit to prevent the damaging of electrical appliances and circuit from overloading. Overloading occurs when live wire and the neutral wire comes in direct contact with each other. Because of which current through the circuit increases suddenly. Also, overloading may occurs because of connecting many appliances to a single socket. The Earth wire which is green in colour is connected to a metal plate deep in the earth near the house. This type of safety measure is used in appliances like electric press, toaster, table fan, refrigerator etc. The Earth wire is gives low resistance conducting path for the electric current. In this way it protects us from severe electric shock. 1. What is the usual current rating of the fuse wire to feed lights and fans? qd) 2. In our country what is the potential difference between live wire and neutral wire?(1) 3. What is short circuiting? Q) (OR) What is the function of earth wire? 38, Homologous series is a series of compounds with similar chemical properties and same functional group differing from the successive member by -CH2 or 14 mass units.

CyHy, C2H(O, CH¢O2, CH,O «@ (c) Define Homologous Series. Q) (OR) What decides Chemical properties and Physical properties of members in a Homologous series. 39. Rita found a case study to understand the inheritance pattern of genes.
