A
End correction
a (a) In meter bridge experiment, it is assumed that the resistance of the $L$ shaped plate is negligible, but actually it is not so. The error created due to this is called, end error. To remove this the resistance box and he unknown resistance must be interchanged and then the mean reading must be taken.

Space between two concentric conducting spheres of radii $a$ and $b (b > a)$ is filled with $a$ medium of resistivity $\rho $. The resistance between the two spheres will be
A current $I$ is passing through a wire having two sections $P$ and $Q$ of uniform diameters $d$ and $d/2$ respectively. If the mean drift velocity of electrons in sections $P$ and $Q$ is denoted by $v_P$ and $v_Q$ respectively, then
A cylindrical conductor has uniform cross-section. Resistivity of its material increase linearly from left end to right end. If a constant current is flowing through it and at a section distance $x$ from left end, magnitude of electric field intensity is $E$, which of the following graphs is correct
A storage battery is connected to a charger for charging with a voltage of $12.5\,\,Volts$. The internal resistance of the storage battery is $1\,\,\Omega$ . When the charging current is $0.5\,\,A$, the emf of the storage battery is: ............... $volts$
In the circuit shown in the figure, the switch $S$ is initially open and the capacitor is initially uncharged. $ I_1, I_2$ and $I_3$ represent the current in the resistance $2\,\Omega , 4\,\Omega $ and $8\,\Omega$ respectively.
The length of a metallic wire is increased by $20 \%$ and its area of cross section is reduced by $4 \%$. The percentage change in resistance of the metallic wire is $.......$
Figure shows three similar lamps $L_1, L_2$ and $L_3$ connected across a power supply. If the lamp $L_3$ fuses, how will the light emitted by $L_1$ and $L_2$ change ?
