d Let the resistance of the wire be $R$, then we know that resistance is proportional to the length of the wire. So each of the four wires will have $R/4$ resistance and they are connected in parallel. So the effective resistance will be

A resistance of $4\,\Omega $ and a wire of length $5\,m$ and resistance $5\,\Omega $ are joined in series and connected to a cell of $e.m.f.$ $10\, V$ and internal resistance $1\,\Omega $. A parallel combination of two identical cells is balanced across $300\, cm$ of the wire. The $e.m.f.$ $E$ of each cell is ........... $V$
In the given figure $-1$, resistance of shown voltmeter is variable. Variation of whose reading with respect to its resistance is shown in figure $-2$. The value of $R$ is ............... $\Omega$
The resistivity of a potentiometer wire is $40 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,ohm - m$ and its area of cross-section is $8 \times {10^{ - 6}}\,{m^2}$. If $0.2\, amp$ current is flowing through the wire, the potential gradient will be
A potentiometer consists of a wire of length $4\, m$ and resistance $10 \,\Omega$. It is connected to cell of $emf$ $2\, V$. The potential difference per unit length of the wire will be ............ $V/m$
In the meter bridge shown, the resistance $X$ has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. Neglecting the variation in other resistors, when current is passed for some time, in the cirucit, balance point should shift towards.
