C$1.33$
c (c) Total resistance of the circuit $ = \frac{{80}}{2} + 20 = 60\,\Omega $
$ \Rightarrow $ Main current $i = \frac{2}{{60}} = \frac{1}{{30}}A$
Combination of voltmeter and $80$ $\Omega$ resistance is connected in series with $20$ $\Omega$, so current through $20$ $\Omega$ and this combination will be same $ = \frac{1}{{30}}A$.
Since the resistance of voltmeter is also $80$ $\Omega$, so this current is equally distributed in $80$ $\Omega$ resistance and voltmeter (i.e.$\frac{1}{{60}}A$ through each)
$P.D.$ across $80$ $\Omega$ resistance $ = \frac{1}{{60}} \times 80 = 1.33\,V$

What equal length of an iron wire and a copper-nickel alloy wire, each of $2 \; {mm}$ diameter connected parallel to give an equivalent resistance of $3 \Omega ?$
(Given resistivities of iron and copper-nickel alloy wire are $12 \;\mu \Omega {cm}$ and $51\; \mu \Omega {cm}$ respectively) (in ${m}$)
A potentiometer is used for the comparison of $e.m.f.$ of two cells ${E_1}$ and ${E_2}$. For cell ${E_1}$ the no deflection point is obtained at $20\,cm$ and for ${E_2}$ the no deflection point is obtained at $30\,cm$. The ratio of their $e.m.f.$'s will be
