d (d) Let the value of shunt be $r$. Hence the equivalent resistance of branch containing $S$ will be $\frac{{Sr}}{{S + r}}$
In balance condition, $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{{Sr/(S + r)}}{R}$. This gives $r = 8\,\Omega $

The resistance of a wire of uniform diameter $d$ and length $L$ is $R$. The resistance of another wire of the same material but diameter $2d$ and length $4L$ will be
The resistance of a conductor at $15^{\circ} {C}$ is $16\, \Omega$ and at $100\, {C}$ is $20\, \Omega$. What will be the temperature coefficient of resistance of the conductor?
In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell gives a balancing point at $75\, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of unknown emf. If the ratio of the emf's of two cells respectively is $3: 2$, the difference in the balancing length of the potentiometer wire in above two cases will be.........$cm .$
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 ?
