Question
State the research done by scientists on electromagnetism after Oersted's observation.
✓
Answer
→After the observation of Oersted, in 1864 James Maxwell examined the laws governing electricity and magnetism and concluded that light is an electromagnetic wave.
→Scientist Hertz discovered radio waves and, Jagdish Bose, Marconi produced radio waves experimentally by the end of the $19^{\text {th }}$ century.
→ This led to the invention of devices for generation, amplification, transmission and detection of electromagnetic waves in the $20^{\text {th }}$ century.

A cell of emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$ is connected to two external resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ and a perfect ammeter.The current in the circuit is measured in four different situations:
i. Without any external resistance in the circuit.
ii. With resistance $\mathrm{R}_1$ only.
iii. With $R_1$ and $R_2$ in series combination.
iv. With $R_1$ and $R_2$ in parallel combination.
The currents measured in the four cases are 0.42 A, 1.05 A, 1.4 A and 4.2 A, but not necessarily in that order. Identify the currents corresponding to the four cases mentioned above.
