A
Relaxation time decreases
a (a) Resistance of conductor depends upon relation as $R \propto \frac{1}{\tau }$. With rise in temperature rms speed of free electron inside the conductor increase, so relaxation time decrease and hence resistance increases

In the circuit shown the cells are ideal and of equal emfs, the capacitance of the capacitor is $C$ and the resistance of the resistor is $R. X$ is first joined to $Y$ and then to $Z$. After a long time, the total heat produced in the resistor will be
The resistance of a wire of iron is $10\, ohms$ and temp. coefficient of resistivity is $5 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,^oC$. At $20\,^oC$ it carries $30$ milliamperes of current. Keeping constant potential difference between its ends, the temperature of the wire is raised to $120\,^oC$. The current in milliamperes that flows in the wire is
The figure shows a network of resistors and $a$ battery. If $1\,A$ current flowsthrough the branch $CF$, then answer the following questions The current through
A wheatstone bridge is used to determine the value of unknown resistance $X$ by adjusting the variable resistance $Y$ as shown in the figure. For the most precise measurement of $X$, the resistances $P$ and $Q$:
In the given figure of meter bridge experiment, the balancing length $AC$ corresponding to null deflection of the galvanometer is $40\,cm$. The balancing length, if the radius of the wire $AB$ is doubled, will be $....cm$
