Read the given passage and answer the following questions: The home electrical connection consists of 'live','neutral' and 'earth wires. The 'live' and the 'neutral' wires have potential difference of 220 v. The earth ire is connected to ground. Due to a fault in the equipment or if the plastic coating on the 'live ' and the neutral wires gives away the two wires come in contact with each other and a large current flows through it producing heat . If any inflammable material (such as wood , cloth , plastic etc). exists around that place it can catch fire. Therefore a fuse wire is used as a precautionary measures. What is short circuit?

Veena observes that during winter setting of milk into curd takes more time while during summer, the same process happens faster. She asks about this difference in time taken to her elder sister. She also asks her sister about why certain reactions occur rapidly while others occur slowly. Her sister explains her about the various factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions. Based on the above scenario, answer the following questions. The reaction of aluminum metal with dilute hydrochloric acid takes place faster as compared to zinc metal. What could be the reason for this difference?

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions given below it: The resistance of a metal falls when cooled below room temperature. Many scientists believed that the value of the resistance would become constant at some very low temperature, allowing the current to flow with little or no resistance. H. K. Onnes successfully liquefied helium in 1908 by cooling it to about 4 K. In 1911, while investigating the electrical property of very pure mercury. Onnes discovered that at a temperature of 4.2 kelvin, its resistance practically vanished. This new state, on account of its extraordinary property, is now called the superconducting state and the phenomenon is called superconductivity. A superconductor, below a certain critical temperature, offers almost zero resistance to a flow of current through it. Onnes also discovered that a superconductor exhibits persistent current: once set up, the current continues to flow for a very long time without an electric potential difference driving it and without significant loss. Superconductivity is used in many diverse areas, such as magnetically levitated trains, transmission of electricity, increasing speed of computers, in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). What is special about a superconductor?
