Is testing cells two-at-a-time in series a risky 10. A solar panel is used to power a toy fan. On a

the fan barely moves. At night the fan stops

the bulb does not glow, you cannot
tell which of the two cells is dead.

(c) Testing two at a time is better —

if both are dead the bulb glows
brighter.

(d) Series testing works for dead cells
but not for working cells. Is the student's claim correct?

9. A circuit has a battery, wires, and an LED. The
connections are proper, but the LED still does (a) Correct — solar panels store energy
not glow. Which is the most logical reason? like a battery and release it at night.
(Abstract Thinking) (b) Incorrect — a solar panel converts
(a) LED is connected in reverse light energy into electrical energy
direction. only while light falls on it and it
does not store energy.
(b) LED has no resistance.
(c) Correct — both solar panels and

cells store chemical energy.
(d) LED only works in sunlight.
(d) Incorrect — both solar panel and
cell provide electricity only at night.

broken. Rajan says: 'L will still glow because it has its own filament.' Priya says:
2
'Neither lamp will glow.' The switch is closed.
Who is correct, and what is the scientific reason?
(a) Rajan — L has its own filament so it glows independently.

(b) Priya — a broken filament in L breaks the circuit; no current flows so

neither lamp glows.
(c) Both glow dimly — current finds an alternative path around the broken
filament.

(d) Only L glows — current stops at the broken filament and heats L instead.
