Physical Science Question Papers

As a graduate, I have tried to set this AP State Board 10th Class Question Papers which is totally based on the syllabus. This effort has been made to help students so that they can practice their subject well before going for exam. All important topics of the Physical Science are covered in this paper. As the class 10 board exam is the first board exam for the students. So, by practising these sample papers students gain knowledge about the type of questions that may asked in the exam.

Instructions that must be followed by students while solving this Physical Science Question Papers are as follow:

11. An electric installation of 100 lamps each drawing 0.2 amp current  at 220 V supply. Find the cost of working of installation for a month of 30 days at 5 hours per day, if the energy used costs at Rs. 2 per unit.
Ans:-Power P = V × I and
Electric energy E = P × t
=> P = 220 × 0.2 = 44 Watt
E for 100 lamps = 44 × 150 × 100 = 660 KWH = 660 Units.
Cost of 660 units = 660 × 2 = Rs. 1320
