Two batteries of $e.m.f.$ $4\,V$ and $8 \,V$ with internal resistances $1\, \Omega$ and $2\,\Omega$ are connected in a circuit with a resistance of $9 \,\Omega$ as shown in figure. The current and potential difference between the points $P$ and $Q$ are
The effective resistance of a parallel connection that consists of four wires of equal length, equal area of cross-section and same material is $0.25\, \Omega$. What will be the effective resistance if they are connected in series ? (In $\Omega$)
A set of $n$ equal resistors, of value $R$ each, are connected in series to a battery of emf $E$ and internal resistance $R.$ The current drawn is $I.$ Now, the $n$ resistors are connected in parallel to the same battery. Then the current drawn from battery becomes $10\,I.$ The value of $n$ is
Under what conditions current passing through a resistance $R$ can be increased by short circuiting the battery of emf $E_2$. The internal resistances of the two batteries are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively
A potential difference of $10 \,V$ is applied across a conductor of $1000 \,\Omega$. The number of electrons flowing through the conductor in $300 \,s$ is ..........
Two solid conductors are made up of same material, have same length and same resistance. One of them has a circular cross section of area $A_{1}$ and the other one has a square cross section of area $A_{2}$. The ratio $\frac{A _{1}}{A _{2}}$ is
