b $2\, \Omega, 4\, \Omega$ and $(1\, \Omega+5\, \Omega)$ are in parallel so their potential difference are the same.
$V=3 \times 2=6 \mathrm{\,V}$
$\mathrm{i}_{3}=\frac{6}{1+5}=1 \mathrm{\,A}$
$P_{S}=i_{3}^{2} \times 5=(1)^{2} \times 5=5 \,W$

When an ammeter of negligible internal resistance is inserted in series with circuit it reads $1A$. When the voltmeter of very large resistance is connected across $X$ it reads $1V$. When the point $A$ and $B$ are shorted by a conducting wire, the voltmeter measures $10\, V$ across the battery. The internal resistance of the battery is equal to .............. $\Omega$
The charge flowing through a resistance $R$ varies with time according to $Q = at -bt^2.$ The total heat produced in $R$ is : (assume that direction of current not reversed)
$32$ cells, each of $emf$ $3V$, are connected in series and kept in a box. Externally, the combination shows an $emf$ of $84\, V$. The number of cells reversed in the combination is
Two wires of the same material are given. The first wire is twice as long as the second and has twice the diameter of the second. The resistance of the first will be
The resistance in the two arms of a meter bridge are $5\,\Omega $ and $R\,\Omega $, respectively. When the resistance $R$ is shunted with an equal resistance, the new balance point is at $1.6\, l_1$. The resistance $‘R’$ is ................. $\Omega$
Four wires of equal length and of resistances $10$ $ ohms$ each are connected in the form of a square. The equivalent resistance between two opposite corners of the square is ............. $ohm$
