A
Zero charge
a (a) As steady current is flowing through the conductor, hence the number of electrons entering from one end and outgoing from the other end of any segment is equal. Hence charge will be zero.

A horizontal conductor is oriented north south and carries some current. $A$ positively charged particle located vertically above it and having a velocity directed north ward experiences an upward force.What is the direction of the force if this charged particle were located to the east of the conductor and had a velocity directed towards the conductor
Consider a metallic cube of edge length $L$. Its resistance, $R$, measured across its opposite faces is $R =\frac{ m _{ e } v }{ ne ^2 L ^2}$, where $n$ is the number density and $v$ is the drift speed of electrons in the cube, and $e$ and $m _{ e }$ are the charge and mass of an electron respectively. Assuming the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron to be $L$, the maximum resistance of the sample is closest to ............. $\,\Omega$ $\left(e=1.60 \times 10^{-19} \,C ; m _{ e }=9.11 \times 10^{-31} \,kg\right.$; Planck's constant, $h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \,Js$ )
The heating coils rating at $220\, volt$ and producing $50\, cal/sec$ heat are available with the resistances $55\,\Omega $ , $110\,\Omega$ , $220\,\Omega $ and $440\,\Omega $. The heater of maximum power will be of............. $\Omega$
Figure shows three similar lamps $L_1, L_2$ and $L_3$ connected across a power supply. If the lamp $L_3$ fuses, how will the light emitted by $L_1$ and $L_2$ change ?
An insulating pipe of cross-section area $'A'$ contains an electrolyte which has two types of ions $\rightarrow$ their charges being $-e$ and $+2e$. $A$ potential difference applied between the ends of the pipe result in the drifting of the two types of ions, having drift speed $= v$ ($-ve$ ion) and $v/4$ ($+ve$ ion). Both ions have the same number per unit volume $= n$. The current flowing through the pipe is
