In a potentiometer circuit there is a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\, volt$, a resistance of $5\, ohm$ and a wire of uniform thickness of length $1000\, cm$ and resistance $15\, ohm$. The potential gradient in the wire is
A$\frac{1}{{500}}\,V/cm$
B$\frac{3}{{2000}}\,V/cm$
C$\frac{3}{{5000}}\,V/cm$
D$\frac{1}{{1000}}\,V/cm$

Five equal resistances each of resistance $R$ are connected as shown in the figure. A battery of $V\, volts$ is connected between $A$ and $B$. The current flowing in $AFCEB$ will be
In a conductor, if the number of conduction electrons per unit volume is $8.5 \times 10^{28}\, m^{-3}$ and mean free time is $25\,fs$ (femto second), its approximate resistivity is $\left( {{m_e} = 9.1 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}\,kg} \right)$
The resistance of a wire is $R$. It is bent at the middle by $180^o$ and both the ends are twisted together to make a shorter wire. The resistance of the new wire is
To determine the resistance ($R$) of a wire, a circuit is designed below, The $V-I$ characteristic curve for this circuit is plotted for the voltmeter and the ammeter readings as shown in figure. The value of $\mathrm{R}$ is . . . . . . .$\Omega$
