In an experiment, the resistance of a material is plotted as a function of temperature (in some range). As shown in the figure, it is a straight line. One may conclude that:
In the adjoining circuit, the battery $E_1$ has an $e.m.f.$ of $12\, volts$ and zero internal resistance, while the battery $E_2$ has an $e.m.f.$ of $2\, volts$. If the galvanometer $G$ reads zero, then the value of the resistance $X$ in $ohms$ is
A $25\, watt$, $220\, volt$ bulb and a $100\, watt$, $220\, volt$ bulb are connected in parallel across a $220\, volt$ line. Which bulb will glow more brightly
A battery of internal resistance one ohm and $emf$ $3\,volt$ sends a current through $1\,metre$ of uniform wire of resistance $5\,\Omega $. The pole of the cell of $emf$ $1.4\,volt$ are connected to two points on the wire so that no current passes through this cell. Then, the potential gradient of the wire is
Two conductors have the same resistances at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ but their temperature coefficients of resistance are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$. The respective temperature coefficients for their series and parallel combinations are :
