The length of a wire of a potentiometer is $100\, cm$, and the $emf$ of its standard cell is $E\,volt$. It is employed to measure the $e.m.f$ of a battery whose internal resistance is $0.5 \,\Omega$. If the balance point is obtained at $l = 30\, cm$ from the positive end, the $e.m.f.$ of the battery is
Twelve resistors each of resistance $16 \,\Omega $ are connected in the circuit as shown. The net resistance between $AB$ (any two conjugate points of outer square) is ............... $\Omega$
$A$ wire of length $L$ and $3$ identical cells of negligible internal resistances are connected in series. Due to the current, the temperature of the wire is raised by $\Delta T$ in time $t. N$ number of similar cells is now connected in series with a wire of the same material and cross section but of length $2L$. The temperature of the wire is raised by the same amount $\Delta T$ in the same time $t$. The value of $N$ is :
A wire when connected to $220\,V$ mains supply has power dissipation ${P_1}$. Now the wire is cut into two equal pieces which are connected in parallel to the same supply. Power dissipation in this case is ${P_2}$. Then ${P_2}:{P_1}$ is
In a potentiometer arrangement. $E_1$ is the cell establishing current in primary circuit. $E_2$ is the cell to be measured. $AB$ is the potentiometer wire and $G$ is a galvanometer. Which of the following are the essential condition for balance to be obtained.
If two wires having resistance $R$ and $2R$. Both joined in series and in parallel then ratio of heat generated in this situation, applying the same voltage,
