A potentiometer consists of a wire of length $4\, m$ and resistance $10\,\Omega $. It is connected to a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\, V$. The potential difference per unit length of the wire will be ............. $V/m$
A$0.5 $
B$2$
C$5$

A$0.5 $
a Since potential difference for full length of wire $=$ $2\, V$
$P.D.$ per unit length of wire $ = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5\,\frac{V}{m}$

The resistance of a bulb filmanet is $100\,\Omega$ at a temperature of $100\,^o C$. If its temperature coefficient of resistance be $0.005$ per $^o C$, its resistance will become $200\,\Omega$ at a temperature of ................ $^oC$
A steady current $I$ is set up in a wire whose cross-sectional area decreases in the direction of the flow of the current. Then, as we examine the narrowing region,
In a typical Wheatstone network, the resistances in cyclic order are $A = 10 \,\Omega $, $B = 5 \,\Omega $, $C = 4 \,\Omega $ and $D = 4 \,\Omega $ for the bridge to be balanced
