B$\frac{{5V}}{{18}}$
b The given network is a balanced Wheatstone bridge. It's equivalent resistance will be $R = \frac{{18}}{5}\,\Omega $
So current from the battery $i = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{V}{{18/5}} = \frac{{5V}}{{18}}$

The drift velocity of electrons for a conductor connected in an electrical circuit is $V _{ d }$. The conductor in now replaced by another conductor with same material and same length but double the area of cross section. The applied voltage remains same. The new drift velocity of electrons will be
In the circuit shown below (on the left) the resistance and the emf source are both variable. The graph of seven readings of the voltmeter and the ammeter ( $V$ and $I$, respectively) for different settings of resistance and the emf, taken at equal intervals of time $\Delta t$, are shown below (on the right) by the dots connected by the curve $E F G H$. Consider the internal resistance of the battery to be negligible and the voltmeter an ammeter to be ideal devices. (Take, $R_0 \equiv \frac{V_0}{I_0}$ ).
Then, the plot of the resistance as a function of time corresponding to the curve $E F G H$ is given by
Consider four conducting materials copper, tungsten, mercury and aluminium with resistivity $\rho_{ C }, \rho_{ T }, \rho_{ M }$ and $\rho_{ A }$ espectively Then:
In a hydrogen discharge tube it is observed that through a given cross-section $3.13 \times {10^{15}}$ electrons are moving from right to left and $3.12 \times {10^{15}}$ protons are moving from left to right. What is the electric current in the discharge tube and what is its direction
In a wire of cross section radius $r,$ free electrons travel with drift velocity $v$ when a current $I$ flows through the wire. What is the current in another wire of half the radius and of the same material when the drift velocity is $2v$ ?
The circuit shown in the figure consists of a battery of $emf$ $\varepsilon = 10 \,V$ ; a capacitor of capacitance $C = 1.0$ $ \mu F$ and three resistor of values $R_1 = 2$ $\Omega$ , $R_2 = 2$ $\Omega$ and $R_3 = 1$ $\Omega$ . Initially the capacitor is completely uncharged and the switch $S$ is open. The switch $S$ is closed at $t = 0.$
Current $I$ is flowing through the two materials having electrical conductivities $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ respectively $(\sigma_1 > \sigma_2 )$ as shown in the figure. The total amount of charge at the junction of the materials is
