The circuit shown here is used to compare the emf of two cells $E_1$ and $E_2 (E_1 > E_2)$. The null point is at $C$ when the galvanometer is connected to $E_1$. When the galvanometer is connected to $E_2$, the null point will be
Resistances are arranged in a cyclic order to form a balanced wheatstone bridge as shown in figure. Ratio of power consumed in the branches $P + Q$ and $R + S$ is
A battery of internal resistance one ohm and $emf$ $3\,volt$ sends a current through $1\,metre$ of uniform wire of resistance $5\,\Omega $. The pole of the cell of $emf$ $1.4\,volt$ are connected to two points on the wire so that no current passes through this cell. Then, the potential gradient of the wire is
Three resistors of $4\,\Omega ,6\,\Omega $ and $12\,\Omega $ are connected in parallel and the combination is connected in series with a $1.5\, V$ battery of $1\,\Omega $ internal resistance. The rate of Joule heating in the $4\,\Omega $ resistor is ................ $W$
A battery of $e.m.f.$ $10\, V$ is connected to resistance as shown in figure. The potential difference ${V_A} - {V_B}$ between the points $A$ and $B$ is .................... $V$
$A$ battery of $\mathrm{emf}$ $E$ and internal resistance $r$ is connected across a resistance $R$. Resistance $R$ can be adjusted to any value greater than or equal to zero. Agraph is plotted between the current $(i)$ passing through the resistance and potential difference $(V) $ across it. Select the correct alternative $(s)$.
Two metal wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If $\sigma _1$ and $\sigma _2$ are the conductivities of the metal wires respectively, the effective conductivity of the combination is
