A heater is designed to operate with a power of $1000 \mathrm{~W}$ in a $100 \mathrm{~V}$ line. It is connected in combination with a resistance of $10 \Omega$ and a resistance $R$, to a $100 \mathrm{~V}$ mains as shown in figure. For the heater to operate at $62.5 \mathrm{~W}$, the value of $\mathrm{R}$ should be .................. $\Omega$.
For heater $P=\frac{V^2}{R} \Rightarrow V=\sqrt{P R}$
$\mathrm{V}=\sqrt{62.5 \times 10}$
$\mathrm{~V}=25 \mathrm{v}$

$i_1=\frac{75}{10}=7.5 A, i_H=\frac{25}{10}=2.5 A$
$i_R=i_1-i_H=5$
$V=I R$
$R=\frac{25}{5}=5 \Omega$

Two long coaxial and conducting cylinders of radius $a$ and $b$ are separated by a material of conductivity $\sigma$ and a constant potential difference $V$ is maintained between them, by a battery. Then the current, per unit length of the cylinder flowing from one cylinder to the other is -
The series combination of two batteries, both of the same emf $10 \mathrm{\;V},$ but different internal resistance of $20\; \Omega$ and $5\; \Omega,$ is connected to the parallel combination of two resistors $30\; \Omega$ and $\mathrm{R}\; \Omega .$ The voltage difference across the battery of internal resistance $20\; \Omega$ is zero, the value of $\mathrm{R}(\text { in } \Omega)$ is
The resistance of a conductor at $15^{\circ} {C}$ is $16\, \Omega$ and at $100\, {C}$ is $20\, \Omega$. What will be the temperature coefficient of resistance of the conductor?
A wire of resistance $12\,ohms$ per meter is bent to form a complete circle of radius $10\, cm.$ The resistance between its two diametrically opposite points, $A$ and $B$ as shown in the figure is
