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
A$3\,Ω$
B$6\,Ω$
C$6$ $\pi $ $Ω$
D$0.6$ $\pi $ $Ω$

D$0.6$ $\pi $ $Ω$
d Wire of length $2\, \pi \times 0.1\, \mathrm{m}$ of $12 \,\Omega / \mathrm{m}$ is bent to a circle.
Resistance of each part
$=12 \times \pi \times 0.1=1.2\, \pi \,\Omega$
$\therefore \quad$ Resistance between $A$ and $B = 0.6\,\pi \Omega .$

The equivalent resistance of a group of resistances is $R$. If another resistance is connected in parallel to the group , its new equivalent becomes $R_1$ and if it is connected in series to the group , its new equivalent becomes $R_2$ we have :
A null point is found at $200\,cm$ in potentiometer when cell in secondary circuit is shunted by $5\,\Omega$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used for shunting null point moves to $300\,cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is $..............\,\Omega$.
In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell of $emf$ $1.25\,V$ gives a balance point at $35.0\,cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $63.0\,cm,$ the $emf$ of the second cell ............... $V$
In order to measure the internal resistance $r_1$ of a cell of emf $E$, a meter bridge of wire resistance $R_0=50 \Omega$, a resistance $R_0 / 2$, another cell of emf $E / 2$ (internal resistance $r$ ) and a galvanometer $G$ are used in a circuit, as shown in the figure. If the null point is found at $l=72 cm$, then the value of $r_1=$ . . . . $\Omega$
By which of the following single load resistance the load bridge should be replaced so that the power to the load remains unchanged ................ $\Omega$
A $2\, W$ carbon resistor is color coded with green, black, red and brown respectively. The maximum current which can be passed through this resistor is .............. $mA$
A piece of wire of resistance $4\, ohms$ is bent through $180^o$ at its mid point and the two halves are twisted together, then the resistance is ............ $ohms$
