A torch battery consisting of two cells of $1.45\, volts$ and an internal resistance $0.15\,\Omega $, each cell sending currents through the filament of the lamps having resistance $1.5\,ohms$. The value of current will be ....... $A$
the given potentiometer has its wire of resistance $10\, \Omega$. When the sliding contact is in the middle of the potentiometer wire, the potential drop across $2\, \Omega$ resistor is -
We have two wires $A$ and $B$ of same mass and same material. The diameter of the wire $A$ is half of that $B$. If the resistance of wire $A$ is $24\, ohm$ then the resistance of wire $B$ will be ................ $Ohm$
A cylindrical wire of radius $0.5 \,mm$ and conductivity $5 \times 10^{7}\, S / m$ is subjected to an electric field of $10 \,mV / m .$ The expected value of current in the wire will be $x ^{3} \,\pi mA$. The value of $x$ is ......
Two electric bulbs whose resistances are in the ratio of $1 : 2$ are connected in parallel to a constant voltage source. The powers dissipated in them have the ratio
One end of a Nichrome wire of length $2\,L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is attatched to an end of another Nichrome wire of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $2\,A$. If the free end of the longer wire is at an electric potential of $8.0$ $\mathrm{volts}$, and the free end of the shorter wire is at an electric potential of $1.0$ $\mathrm{volt}$, the potential at the junction of the two wires is equal to ............. $V$
An electric bulb rated for $500\, watts$ at $100\, volts$ is used in a circuit having a $200-volt$ supply. The resistance $R$ that must be put in series with the bulb, so that the bulb draws $500\, W$ is .................. $\Omega$
