Q88 / 120 · VITEEE 2011 · Physics
Pick out the wrong statement.
- AIn a simple battery circuit, the point of lowest potential is the negative terminal of the battery.
- Correct answerBThe resistance of an incandescent lamp is greater when the lamp is switched off.
- CAn ordinary $100 \mathrm{~W}$ lamp has less resistance than a $60 \mathrm{~W}$ lamp.
- DAt constant voltage, the heat developed in a uniform wire varies inversely as the length of the wire used.
Solution
When switched off, resistance of an incandescent lamp increases.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
