Q88 / 120 · VITEEE 2011 · Physics

Pick out the wrong statement.

  • A
    In a simple battery circuit, the point of lowest potential is the negative terminal of the battery.
  • Correct answer
    B
    The resistance of an incandescent lamp is greater when the lamp is switched off.
  • C
    An ordinary $100 \mathrm{~W}$ lamp has less resistance than a $60 \mathrm{~W}$ lamp.
  • D
    At 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'.
