In the figure, the value of resistors to be connected between $C$ and $D$ so that the resistance of the entire circuit between $A$ and $B$ does not change with the number of elementary sets used is
A$R$
B$R(\sqrt 3 - 1)$
C$3 R$
D$R(\sqrt 3 + 1)$

B$R(\sqrt 3 - 1)$
b (b) Cut the series from $XY$ and let the resistance towards right of $XY$ be ${R_0}$ whose value should be such that when connected across $AB$ does not change the entire resistance. The combination is reduced to as shown below.
The resistance across $EF, = {R_{EF}} = ({R_0} + 2R)$
Thus ${R_{AB}} = \frac{{({R_0} + 2R)R}}{{{R_0} + 2R + R}} = \frac{{{R_0}R + 2{R^2}}}{{{R_0} + 3R}} = {R_0}$
$ \Rightarrow R_0^2 + 2R{R_0} - 2{R^2} + 0 \Rightarrow {R_0} = R(\sqrt 3 - 1)$

There are a large number of cells available, each marked $(6 \,V , 0.5 \,\Omega)$ to be used to supply current to a device of resistance $0.75 \,\Omega$, requiring $24 \,A$ current. How should the cells be arranged, so that power is transmitted to the load using minimum number of cells?
The resistance of a coil is $4.2\, \Omega$ at $100\,^o C$ and the temperature coefficient of resistance of its material is $ 0.004\,^o C$. Its resistance at $0\,^o C$ is ............. $\Omega$
A wire of resistance $x$ ohm is drawn out, so that its length is increased to twice its original length, and its new resistance becomes $20 \,\Omega$, then $x$ will be ........ $\Omega$
As shown in the figure, a network of resistors is connected to a battery of $2\,V$ with an internal resistance of $3\,\Omega$. The currents through the resistors $R_4$ and $R_5$ are $I_4$ and $I_5$ respectively. The values of $I_4$ and $I_5$ are :
For a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\,V$, a balance is obtained for $50\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a $2\,\Omega $ resistor and the balance is obtained across $40\, cm$ of the wire, then the internal resistance of the cell is ............. $\Omega $
