If an electric heater is rated at $1000\, W$, then the time required to heat one litre of water from $20\,^oC$ to $60\,^oC$ is
A$1\, min\, 24\, sec$
B$2\, min\, 48\, sec$
C$4\, min\, 17\, sec$
D$5\, min\, 36\, sec$

B$2\, min\, 48\, sec$
b Heat required to heat $1$ $\mathrm{Lt}$
water $=m s \Delta \theta$
$=1 \times 4200 \times(60-20)$
$=4200 \times 40$
requred time $=\frac{4200 \times 40}{1000}$
$=42 \times 4=168$
i.e. $2$ $\mathrm{min}$ $48$ $\mathrm{second}$

Two wires of same metal have the same length but their cross-sections are in the ratio $3:1$. They are joined in series. The resistance of the thicker wire is $10\,\Omega $. The total resistance of the combination will be ............. $\Omega$
Two resistances ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ are joined as shown in the figure to two batteries of $e.m.f.$ ${E_1}$ and ${E_2}$. If ${E_2}$ is short-circuited, the current through ${R_1}$ is
The circuit shown here is used to compare the $e.m.f.$ of two cells ${E_1}$ and ${E_2}({E_1} > {E_2})$. The null point is at $C$ when the galvanometer is connected to ${E_1}$. When the galvanometer is connected to ${E_2}$, the null point will be
When an ammeter of negligible internal resistance is inserted in series with circuit it reads $1A$. When the voltmeter of very large resistance is connected across $X$ it reads $1V$. When the point $A$ and $B$ are shorted by a conducting wire, the voltmeter measures $10\, V$ across the battery. The internal resistance of the battery is equal to .............. $\Omega$
Consider a block of conducting material ofresistivity '$\rho$' shown in the figure. Current '$I$' enters at '$A$' and leaves from '$D$'. We apply superp osition principle to find voltage '$\Delta V$ ' developed between '$B$' and '$C$'. The calculation is done in the following steps:
$(i)$ Take current '$I$' entering from '$A$' and assume it to spread over a hemispherical surface in the block.
$(ii)$ Calculatefield $E(r)$ at distance '$r$' from $A$ by using Ohm's law $E = \rho j$, where j is the current per unit area at '$r$'.
(iii) From the '$r$' dependence of $E(r)$, obtain the potential $V(r)$ at $r$.
(iv) Repeat $(i), (ii)$ and $(iii)$ for current '$I$' leaving '$D$' and superpose results for '$A$' and '$D$'.
